  • Patent number: 9706939
    Abstract: A method of whole-brain EEG neurofeedback training of a trainee using live Z-scores from 4 channels of EEG signals to acquire 248 Z-scores from 6 simultaneous interconnectivity paths. The feedback system is endowed with the ability to establish training targets and to use derived metrics to produce feedback of an auditory, visual, vibrotactile, or other sensory or direct nature. The feedback signals are determined by a multivariate analysis that takes into consideration how measured variables compare with predefined criteria, thus producing a statistical correlation in real-time, in conjunction with a reference or normative database, rule-set, algorithm, discriminate function, or classification system.

  • Publication number: 20070197292
    Abstract: A biofeedback training system and method which utilizes biological signals from a trainee to influence actions and events in an activity or game displayed to the trainee. A level of intelligence in a displayed activity or game is used a biofeedback variable. Decision-making rules or other abilities within an embedded game player are introduced and controlled as additional types of biofeedback variable, and represent awards in a training process. The methods and systems can be applied to any activity or game that includes goal-seeking behavior and that can be configured for automatic play by goal-oriented rules. The action and content of game-like biofeedback displays may be influenced or dictated by biological signals from a trainee viewing the display.
