Publication number: 20220058971Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for dynamically adjusting a breathing entrainment based on whether a user is stressing or relaxing. According to an aspect, a first target breathing period is selected, and a guiding stimulus configured to alter a current breathing period of the user towards the first target breathing period over an interval of time is output. One or more relaxation biometrics are measured and analyzed to determine whether the user is stressing or relaxing. Based on whether the user is relaxing or stressing, at least one of the guided stimulus and the first target breathing period are adjusted, where the first target breathing period is adjusted to a second target breathing period different from the first target breathing period. By making adjustments based on whether a user is relaxing or stressing, the breathing entrainment is more effective and comfortable for users.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventors: Harsh A. MANKODI, Michelle DANIELS, Sara ADKINS, Chia-Chun HSU, Chia-Ling LI, Kathleen Elizabeth KREMER

Publication number: 20060269057Abstract: Systems and methods for processing, compressing, and distributing data, such as an audio file, are provided. Single- and multi-channel data streams are transformed into a single signal in a Unified Domain. A high resolution frequency analysis based on phase evolution provides accurate frequency estimates and distinguishes between oscillatory and noise-like signal components. The unified signal components are then prioritized using a Psychoacoustic Model. The prioritized components can be arranged in layers based on the component priorities and compressed (e.g., with a chaotic compression scheme). The least psychoacoustically important layers can be removed to lower the transmission bitrate. Digital rights management tools based, for example, on a unique device identification can be used for secure distribution.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2006Publication date: November 30, 2006Applicant: Groove Mobile, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Short, Ricardo Garcia, Michelle Daniels, John Curley
