Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for determining a representation of a subjective state of an individual. The method comprises presenting a semantic question to the individual, and receiving at least one descriptive word obtained from the individual answering the semantic question. The method further comprises transforming each of said at least one descriptive word into a respective semantic representation vector thereby providing a set of one or more semantic representation vectors, and transforming the one or more semantic representation vectors in said set into one semantic representation vector. The method further comprises computing a first difference value or similarity value by comparing said one semantic representation vector with a first predetermined semantic representation of a state associated with a first mental illness or psychiatric disorder.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing a control input signal for an industrial process or technical system having one or more controllable elements includes elements for generating a semantic space for a text corpus, and elements for generating a norm from one or more reference words or texts, the or each reference word or text being associated with a defined respective value on a scale, and the norm being calculated as a reference point or set of reference points in the semantic space for the or each reference word or text with its associated respective scale value. Elements for reading at least one target word included in the text corpus, elements for predicting a value of a variable associated with the target word based on the semantic space and the norm, and elements for providing the predicted value in a control input signal to the industrial process or technical system.

Abstract: Method, arrangement and computer program in a noise generator (100), for enhancing a cognitive function of a user (110). The method comprises estimating (201) attention level of the user (110), determining (202) an optimal cognitive performance level of the user (110), predicting (203) a noise amount and amplitude that is associated with the optimal cognitive performance level of the user (110), where this prediction is based on the estimated (201) attention level of the user (110), and emitting (204) noise having the predicted (203) noise amount and amplitude, to be received by the user (110).
