  • Patent number: 10966624
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for obtaining brain wave data using a microelectrode array, comprising a plurality of electrodes for electrically measuring brain waves and an integrated optical stimulation unit for stimulating brain regions by means of optical signals, wherein the stimulation unit has one or more electrical light sources, and wherein the method includes stimulating neurons of the brain via optical signals produced by the light sources, recording a response of the neurons to the stimulation via the electrodes, unambiguously assigning the recorded response to individual optical stimulation signals provided by the light source, and determining an unambiguous correlation between the optical stimulation signals and resulting brain waves measured by the electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20150289778
    Abstract: A first plurality of images of a scene may be captured. Each image of the first plurality of images may be captured using a different TET. Based at least on the first plurality of images, a long TET, a short TET, and a TET sequence that includes the long TET and the short TET may be determined. A second plurality of images of the scene may be captured. The images in the second plurality of images may be captured sequentially in an image sequence using a sequence of TETs corresponding to the TET sequence. Based on one or more images in the image sequence, an output image may be constructed.
