Optimization of Trading Performance Using Both Brain State Models and Operational Performance Models
Publication number: 20240005398Abstract: A method includes generating a trading performance model for a trading activity involving a set of decisions by a set of expert traders. The trading performance model includes a set of input data sets, a set of data processing workflows operating on the input data sets, and a set of trading decision outputs resulting from interaction of the expert traders with a user interface representing the trading performance model. The method includes generating a brain state model representing a sequential set of brain states of the set of expert traders that characterize brain states measured during the interactions of the expert traders with the user interface representing the trading performance model, assessing the quality of the trading decisions, determining a preferred pattern of trader brain state sequences, and modifying a subsequent trading activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Paul Sajda, Jacek Dmochowski, Pawel Gucik, Ben Londergan, Paul DeGuzman, Sam DeWitt -
Publication number: 20230309885Abstract: To identify physiological states that are predictive of a person's performance, a system provides physiological and behavioral interfaces and a data processing pipeline. Physiological sensors generate physiological data about the person while performing a task. The behavioral interface generates performance data about the person while performing the task. The pipeline collects the physiological and performance data along with reference data from a population of people performing the same or similar tasks. In various implementations, the physiological states are brain states. In one implementation, the pipeline computes bandpower ratios.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: David Bach, Suhas Chelian, Paul DeGuzman, Jacek Dmochowski, Amy Kruse, Will McBurnett, Steven L.

Patent number: 11755108Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing a hybrid brain-computer-interface (hBCI) that can detect an individual's reinforcement signals (e.g., level of interest, arousal, emotional reactivity, cognitive fatigue, cognitive state, or the like) in and/or response to objects, events, and/or actions in an environment by generating reinforcement signals for improving an AI agent controlling the environment, such as an autonomous vehicle. Although the disclosed subject matter is discussed within the context of an autonomous vehicle virtual reality game in the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the disclosed system can be applicable to any other environment in which the human user's sensory input is to be used to influence actions within the environment. Furthermore, the systems and methods disclosed can use neural, physiological, or behavioral signatures to inform deep reinforcement learning based AI systems to enhance user comfort and trust in automation.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New YorkInventors: Paul Sajda, Sameer Saproo, Victor Shih, Sonakshi Bose Roy, David Jangraw

Publication number: 20210022637Abstract: Methods are disclosed for determining an efficacy of a stimulus based on one or more measurable physiological responses to one or more stimuli including one or more stimulus features. Data is acquired on physiological responses of a group of one or more subjects to presentation of one or more stimuli including one or more stimulus features. The data on the one or more physiological responses of the one or more subjects is correlated with the presentation of the one or more stimulus features included in the one or more stimuli. The correlated data on the one or more physiological responses are associated with a separately-determined efficacy of the one or more stimuli to form a stimulus efficacy model. From this information, a projected efficacy of a stimulus is determinable by comparing one or more subsequently-measured physiological responses to the stimulus with the stimulus efficacy model.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Lucas Parra, Paul Sajda, Paul Deguzman, Daniel Rosenthal, Charles Phillip Cloud, Jacek Dmochowski
