Abstract: Described are methods and a device for determining a valid intrinsic alpha frequency. Described herein are methods and a device for determining the appropriate intrinsic alpha frequency (IAF) to be applied for neuro-EEG synchronization therapy using alternating magnetic fields to gently “tune” the brain and affect the mood, focus and cognition of subjects. Methods and a device described herein use an algorithm to quantitatively analyze EEG recordings to determine if recorded EEG frequencies are valid, and if necessary, requiring additional recordings and analysis until a valid EEG is found. Methods and devices described herein can be utilized to calculate the intrinsic frequency of other EEG bands, including the Theta, Beta Gamma and Delta bands.

Abstract: A device which provides a measure of the compliance of a vessel wall based on a change in pressure, which causes the vessel to distend. The device comprises a coil and capacitor, forming a tank circuit. The coil is expandable and positioned along a portion of the vessel so that when the portion of the vessel expands or contracts, the coil will also expand or contract, changing the area inside the coil. This change in area alters the coil inductance, and therefore the resonant frequency of the tank circuit, which can be detected externally.

Abstract: A device which provides a measure of the compliance of a vessel wall based on a change in pressure, which causes the vessel to distend. The device comprises a coil and capacitor, forming a tank circuit. The coil is expandable and positioned along a portion of the vessel so that when the portion of the vessel expands or contracts, the coil will also expand or contract, changing the area in side the coil. This change in area alters the coil inductance, and therefore the resonant frequency of the tank circuit, which can be detected externally.
