Publication number: 20240073264Abstract: Methods are provided in which a collaboration server connects at least two participants via respective user devices to a collaboration session. The collaboration server further detects a violation occurring during the collaboration session. The violation indicates an inappropriate activity or content from a participant of the at least two participants. Based on detecting the violation, the collaboration server performs at least one mitigating action in connection with the collaboration session.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventor: Lan Betty Ngoc Mai

Patent number: 11813475Abstract: In certain embodiments a light therapy system (e.g., phototherapy device), such as for treatment of Alzheimer's disease, depression, dementia, short-term memory, or for improved learning, improved athletic performance or improved cognitive performance, is provided where the light system comprises a blue light source that operates at a frequency in the range from 20 to 50 Hz (preferably around 40 Hz), whereby the system enables retinal ganglion cells of a human to be exposed in order to stimulate brain waves (gamma oscillations in the human's brain).Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2018Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, Danmarks Tekniske UniversitetInventors: Jes Broeng, Paul Michael Petersen, Ngoc Mai Thi Nguyen, Lance Kriegsfeld

Patent number: 11730917Abstract: Gamma brain stimulation for preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease or sleeping disorders using light or sound is known. A strobing 40 Hz light source has been shown to cause positive effects due to the stimulation. It is an advantage to know the actual dosage of light that enters the person's eyes in order to understand the relationship between dosage and effectiveness. A camera is used to detect the subject's gaze angle, distance, pupil diameter and any other factors that affect the light power that enters the eye. A target dosage is first determined by a medical worker, such as to determine the effects of the exact same dosage on a group of similar persons, such as Alzheimer's patients. With deviations of gaze angle, distance, and pupil size from the ideal, the effective dosage is decreased. The disclosed system adjusts the actual dosage, such as session duration, based on such factors so that the final dosage received by the person is consistent and meets the target dosage.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Optoceutics ApSInventors: Marcus Carstensen, Paul Michael Petersen, Jes Broeng, Mark Henney, Ngoc Mai Nguyen, Robert Dobkin

Publication number: 20230126680Abstract: Gamma brain stimulation (around 40 Hz) is performed using light pulses. To perform theta brain stimulation (around 7 Hz) without perceptible flicker, the light source is also strobed at 47 Hz (also within the gamma range). The brain perceives the 40 Hz and a subtraction frequency of 7 Hz (in the theta range). The combined gamma and theta wave stimulation of the brain may be used for preventing or treating brain disease or sleeping disorders. The particular stimulation frequencies and their phases create neuronal gamma-theta coupling in the brain that has been shown to have positive effects on memory, Alzheimer's disease, motor skills, and other functions. Other gamma and theta frequencies, creating gamma-theta coupling in the brain, are also beneficial. The phase of the light pulses is also dynamically controlled using feedback to maximize theta-gamma coupling in the brain.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2021Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Marcus Carstensen, Ngoc Mai Nguyen
