  • Patent number: 12023173
    Abstract: A method is described for making determinations on or classifying the pain of an estimation subject on the basis of the brainwaves of the estimation subject. This method includes: (a) stimulating the estimation subject at a plurality of levels of stimulation intensity; (b) acquiring brainwave data for the estimation subject; (c) extracting a brainwave feature quantity from the brainwave data or the analysis data; (d) for plugging the feature quantity into a Sparse model analysis, making the feature quantity approach a quantitative level and/or a qualitative level for pain, and estimating or making a determination on a pain level. Another method is described including comparing of brainwave data or analysis data from the 2,000 msec following the earliest of an induced brainwave component, an initial-event-related voltage component, and 250 msec after a target stimulus has been applied.

  • Patent number: 11690547
    Abstract: The computer implemented method makes it possible to discern, for a variety of sensations, whether a sensation is a pleasant (comfortable) sensation or a sensation of discomfort. A classifier is generated for discerning the stress or comfort/discomfort of a subject. The method comprising: a) imparting, to a subject, different stimuli under the same environment, and obtaining brain wave data or analysis data thereof for the environment; b) correlating a reaction of the subject relating to the stimulation and the difference of the brain wave data or analysis data thereof obtained under the environment; c) generating a classifier for discerning the stress or comfort/discomfort of the subject, on the basis of the correlation; and d) performing comfort/discomfort discernment using a basic step for amplifying a sample from a small stimulation.

  • Publication number: 20200178888
    Abstract: The present invention provides discernment technology that makes it possible to discern, for a variety of sensations, whether a sensation is a pleasant (comfortable) sensation or a sensation of discomfort. The present invention provides a method for generating a means for discerning the stress or comfort/discomfort of a subject, the method comprising: a) imparting, to a subject, an identical stimulation under at least two environments, and obtaining brain wave data or analysis data thereof for each environment; b) correlating a reaction of the subject relating to the stimulation and the difference of the brain wave data or analysis data thereof obtained under the at least two environments; c) generating a comfort/discomfort discernment means for discerning the stress or comfort/discomfort of the subject, on the basis of the correlation; and d) performing comfort/discomfort discernment using a basic step for amplifying a sample from a small stimulation.
