  • Patent number: 11144123
    Abstract: Systems, computer readable media, and method concern includes generating data renderings for a data set. The data renderings for the data set include one or more of visual renderings of portions of the data set and one or more sonic renderings of portions of the data set. The method further includes providing the data renderings to a user via one or more output devices. The method also includes capturing biofeedback data from the user using one or more human interface devices. The biofeedback data includes biological responses to the one or more data renderings. Further, the method includes continuously generating and providing new data renderings based on the biofeedback data. The new data renderings incorporate features in the data renderings identified from the biofeedback data. The method also includes determining one or more features of interest in the data set based on the biofeedback data and the new data renderings.

  • Publication number: 20190142613
    Abstract: A method of controlling a device relative to one or more objects in an environment of a user employing the device may include receiving a volitional input from the user indicative of a task to be performed relative to an object with the device, receiving object targeting information associated with interaction between the device and the object where the object targeting information is presented in an augmented reality context, integrating the volitional input with the object targeting information to determine a control command to direct the device to interact with the object, and providing the control command to the device.

  • Publication number: 20130038353
    Abstract: A system for simulating biofidelic signals includes a transducer and a neural transmitter port. The transducer is affected by a parameter and provides an alternating electrical signal based on an effect of the parameter. The neural transmitter port receives a processed electrical signal and outputs the processed electrical to a neural transmitter. The system further includes an input portion, a band-pass filter, and an integrate-and-fire mechanism. The input portion outputs a first signal based on the alternating electrical signal. The band-pass filter outputs a first filtered signal based on the first signal. The integrate-and-fire mechanism generates the processed electrical signal based on the first filtered signal.
