  • Remote activation of the midbrain by transcranial direct current stimulation of prefrontal cortex
    Patent number: 9597500
    Abstract: A method and system of remotely stimulating the midbrain area is disclosed. Transcranial direct current stimulation is applied via a cathode attached to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and an anode attached to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. These regions are either directly connected or indirectly connected to the midbrain region. The stimulation allows non-invasive stimulation of neurons in the midbrain region to address brain disorders such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression and addiction.

  • Illusion generating system
    Patent number: 8628426
    Abstract: The system provides a tristable environment that effects reorientation of horizontal and vertical surfaces at a human scale. The system allows the engagement and disengagement of the effect via movement of the observer without loss of the intensity of the effect. The system also provides a combined vection/motion induced blindness environment at human scale with interactivity available to non-trained participants.
