  • Publication number: 20240005398
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230309885
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11755108
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20210022637
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20140303511
    Abstract: An EEG cap (8) having 64 or 128 electrodes (10) is placed on the head of the subject (11) who is viewing CRT monitor (14). The signals on each channel are amplified by amplifier (17) and sent to an analog-to-digital converter (20). PC (23) captures and records the amplified signals and the signals are processed by signal processing PC (26) performing linear signal processing. The resulting signal is sent back to a feedback/display PC (29) having monitor (14).
