  • Method and system for measuring, predicting, and optimizing human cognitive performance
    Patent number: 11883194
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus is disclosed, comprising a biomathetical model for optimizing cognitive performance in the face of sleep deprivation that integrates novel and nonobvious biomathematical models for quantifying performance impairment for both chronic sleep restriction and total sleep deprivation; the dose-dependent effects of caffeine on human vigilance; and the pheonotypical response of a particular user to caffeine dosing, chronic sleep restriction and total sleep deprivation in user-friendly software application which itself may be part of a networked system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 11, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: The Government of the United States, as represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventors: Jaques Reifman, Jianbo Liu, Nancy Wesensten, Thomas Balkin, Sridhar Ramakrishnan, Maxim Y. Khitrov
  • Method and System for Measuring, Predicting, and Optimizing Human Cognitive Performance
    Publication number: 20220125375
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus is disclosed, comprising a biomathetical model for optimizing cognitive performance in the face of sleep deprivation that integrates novel and nonobvious biomathematical models for quantifying performance impairment for both chronic sleep restriction and total sleep deprivation; the dose-dependent effects of caffeine on human vigilance; and the pheonotypical response of a particular user to caffeine dosing, chronic sleep restriction and total sleep deprivation in user-friendly software application which itself may be part of a networked system.

  • Method and system for predicting human cognitive performance
    Publication number: 20050033122
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for predicting cognitive performance of an individual based on factors including preferably sleep history and the time of day. The method facilitates the creation of predicted cognitive preformance curves that allow an individual to set his/her sleep times to produce higher levels of cognitive performance. The method also facilitates the reconstruction of past cognitive performance levels based on sleep history.
