  • Patent number: 11139066
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and tools for enhancing cognition in an individual. The methods involve presenting to the individual multiple sets of stimuli. Each set of the multiple set contains two or more stimuli and at least one set of the multiple sets contains a target stimulus. The method then receives an input from the individual, and informs the individual as to whether the input is a correct response. The methods encompass iterations of stimuli presentation, receiving of the input, and lastly, generation of feedback to the individual until the individual learns and retains what the target stimulus is.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190159715
    Abstract: Provided are methods of assessing and/or training cognitive fitness. Aspects of the instant methods generally relate to identifying and observing neural activity that underlies an event occurring in response to the stimulus or sequence of stimuli of a cognitive task performed by a subject. As such, the instant methods generally include presenting a cognitive task to a subject that includes a stimulus or sequence of stimuli, and monitoring the neural activity of the subject during performance of the cognitive task. Monitoring of such neural activity may be used, at least in part, to determine a neural performance level of a subject which may, in turn, be used in various ways including e.g., as an assessment of cognitive fitness, to tailor a subsequently presented cognitive task to train the cognitive fitness of the subject, etc. Systems and computer readable media for practicing the methods of the present disclosure are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9911348
    Abstract: A game delivery system delivers a plurality of games in a training program. The training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to overcome cognitive deficits associated with a neurological disorder. In one embodiment, the training program includes an initial batch of games that predominantly exercise elemental, lower-level cognitive processes and sensory deficits. After a game participant progresses through the initial batch of games, the training program provides games that impose comparatively greater higher-order cognitive processing requirements on the participant. A clinician portal provides remote access to a clinician to data about the game participant's compliance and performance with the training program. The clinician portal also enables the administrator to configure the training program.

  • Patent number: 9824602
    Abstract: A training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to treat an addiction, wherein a plurality of addiction-related stimuli stimulate craving for the object of the addiction. The training program comprises at least one computerized reverse conditioning game configured to present a plurality of target and distractor stimuli, wherein the distractor stimuli are addiction-related stimuli, and prompts a game participant to respond to the target stimuli and ignore the distractor stimuli.

  • Patent number: 9302179
    Abstract: A training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to treat an addiction, wherein a plurality of addiction-related stimuli stimulate craving for the object of the addiction. The training program comprises at least one computerized reverse conditioning game configured to present a plurality of target and distractor stimuli, wherein a subset of the distractor stimuli are addiction-related stimuli, and prompts a game participant to respond to the target stimuli and ignore the distractor stimuli.
