  • Software and Methods for Controlling Neural Responses in Deep Brain Regions
    Publication number: 20240082534
    Abstract: Techniques for non-invasively controlling targeted neural activity of a subject are provided herein. The techniques include applying a stimulus input to the subject, the stimulus input being formed by a deep artificial neural network (ANN) model and being configured to elicit targeted neural activity within a brain of the subject. The stimulus input may be a pattern of luminous power generated by the deep ANN model and applied to retinae of the subject. The stimulus input may be generated by the deep ANN model based on a mapping of the subject's neural responses to neurons of the deep ANN model.

  • Enhancement of Sensory Sensitivity by Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation
    Publication number: 20150328447
    Abstract: A system for enhancing a sensory modality of a subject including a first scalp electrode configured to be placed above the sensory cortex of the subject and a second electrode configured to be placed elsewhere on the subject. A power source is configured to apply low levels of alternating current above 5 Hz between the first and second electrodes. A method of sensory enhancement is also provided.
