Publication number: 20080003558Abstract: System and method for enhancing cognition using continuous performance with multiple stimulus streams. A target correspondence is presented. A continuous sequence of stimulus groups is presented one stimulus group at a time, where each stimulus group includes at least two stimuli, and where each stimulus group is presented for a specified duration, and separated by a specified inter-stimulus-interval (ISI). For each stimulus group in the sequence: the subject is required to respond to the group, indicating when all the stimuli in the group correspond in accordance with the target correspondence, and refraining from indicating when the stimuli do not correspond, correctness/incorrectness of the response is determined, and the duration and/or the ISI adjusted accordingly, using an adaptive procedure, e.g., a continuous performance maximum likelihood procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2007Publication date: January 3, 2008Applicant: Posit Science CorporationInventors: Samuel Chan, Joseph Hardy, Michael Merzenich

Publication number: 20070166676Abstract: Computer-implemented method for enhancing cognitive ability of a participant using guided eye movements. Multiple graphical elements are provided for visual presentation to the participant, each having a value. A temporal sequence of at least two of the graphical elements are visually presented at a specified stimulus intensity, e.g., duration or presentation time, including displaying the value of each graphical element at a respective position in a visual field for a specified duration, then ceasing to display the value. The participant is required to respond to the displayed values. A determination is made as to whether the participant responded correctly, and the stimulus intensity modified in response, e.g., using a maximum likelihood procedure. The visually presenting, requiring, determining, and modifying are repeated in an iterative manner to improve the participant's cognitive skills. Periodically, assessments of the participant's progress are performed, e.g., using the maximum likelihood procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2006Publication date: July 19, 2007Applicant: POSIT SCIENCE CORPORATIONInventors: Dylan Bird, Samuel Chan, Peter Delahunt, Joseph Hardy, Stephen Lisberger, Henry Mahncke, Michael Merzenich

Publication number: 20070166675Abstract: A computer-implemented method for enhancing cognition, e.g., for improving cognitive ability of a participant using visual stimuli. A set (or sets) of visual stimuli is provided for visual presentation to the participant. A visual stimulus from the set is visually presented to the participant. The participant is required to respond to the visual stimulus. A determination is made regarding whether the participant responded correctly. The stimulus intensity of the visual stimuli presented may be adjusted based on the correctness/incorrectness of the participant's response according to a single-stair maximum likelihood (e.g., ZEST) or N-up/M-down procedure. The visually presenting, requiring, and determining are repeated one or more times in an iterative manner to improve the participant's cognition, e.g., ability to process visual information, memory, etc. Assessments may be performed during the repeating according to a dual-stair maximum likelihood (e.g., ZEST) or N-up/M-down procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2006Publication date: July 19, 2007Applicant: POSIT SCIENCE CORPORATIONInventors: Sharona Atkins, Dylan Bird, Samuel Chan, Peter Delahunt, Shruti Gangadhar, Joseph Hardy, Stephen Lisberger, Henry Mahncke, Michael Merzenich, Donald Richards

Publication number: 20070141541Abstract: A method on a computing device is provided for assessing a stimulus threshold of an older adult by requiring the adult to differentiate between rapidly presented stimuli. The method trains the time order judgment of the adult by presenting upward and downward frequency sweeps, in random order, separated by an inter-stimulus interval (ISI). Icons associated with the upward and downward frequency sweeps allow the adult to indicate an order in which the frequency sweeps are presented (i.e., UP-UP, UP-DOWN, DOWN-UP, and DOWN-DOWN). Correct/incorrect selection of an order causes the inter-stimulus interval and/or the duration of the frequency sweeps to be adaptively reduced/increased, using a maximum likelihood procedure, such as ZEST or QUEST, where two tracks, each with a respective duration and ISI, are adjusted until their values substantially converge, or a specified number of trials is performed. The threshold is determined by averaging the final values of the two tracks.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2006Publication date: June 21, 2007Applicant: Posit Science CorporationInventors: Samuel Chan, Joseph Hardy, Henry Mahncke

Publication number: 20070134632Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for assessing an aging adult's ability to integrate visual-spatial and auditory memory by requiring the adult to spatially match pairs of graphically presented response buttons that are associated with aurally presented stimuli which is processed by a computing device. The adult is presented with a grid of response buttons, each associated with an aural stimulus. When the adult selects a response button, its aural stimulus is presented. The adult is required to consecutively select a response button having the same aural stimulus. As the adult sequentially selects response buttons having the same aural stimuli, the button pair is removed. First assessment trials are performed for a first plurality of grids, training trials are performed for a second plurality of grids, then second assessment trials performed for the first plurality of grids. The adult's performances in the two assessments are compared to determine the adult's improvement.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2006Publication date: June 14, 2007Applicant: Posit Science CorporationInventors: Samuel Chan, Joseph Hardy, Henry Mahncke
