  • Publication number: 20030171688
    Abstract: A mind controller is disclosed. The mind controller can induce a user's brain waves into an alpha wave state or a theta wave state by sensing and analyzing human brain waves and then transmitting a mind control audio message suitable for the analyzed human brain waves to the user, so that the user can improve mental concentration power or memory for himself/herself.

  • Publication number: 20030176806
    Abstract: An intelligent supervisory control system or neuro-user interface (NUI), and method that utilize bioelectric state of mind or cognitive profile to control electronic and mechanical resources in an environment, such as in a 3-D PC or console game, a simulation or virtual environment, a cockpit, automobile, home, or surgical theatre. The interface comprises means for acquiring the brain signals of a user or subject, which are converted into a digital stream and mathematically processed to define an electrical state of the mind or cognitive profile of the user. Incorporating microprocessor-based software and storage facilities, the interface dynamically maps the cognitive profile onto multiple functions, which are adaptable for actuating microprocessor commands.

  • Patent number: 11977358
    Abstract: Systems and methods of dynamic IoT device regulation and control can aid in shifting a user's emotional state from a first state of mind to a preferred second state of mind, using the user's biomarker response to device settings. Particularly, an IoT device controller may be embedded within a wearable device that is wirelessly connected to a computing device and one or more IoT devices. Initially, each wearable device can be calibrated, wherein a matrix of sensed user biomarker responses can be generated. In some embodiments, the system continuously monitors user biomarkers to detect which physiological state exists. When the user enters into the first physiological/psychological state, the system can adjust each IoT device to align with the second state. When the system detects that the user biomarker response has not shifted, the system can continuously adjust IoT settings based upon a learning algorithm having monitored user biomarkers as input.

  • Patent number: 9095266
    Abstract: A signal processing method and system combines multi-scale decomposition, such as wavelet, pre-processing together with a compression technique, such as an auto-associative artificial neural network, operating in the multi-scale decomposition domain for signal denoising and extraction. All compressions are performed in the decomposed domain. A reverse decomposition such as an inverse discrete wavelet transform is performed on the combined outputs from all the compression modules to recover a clean signal back in the time domain. A low-cost, non-drug, non-invasive, on-demand therapy braincap system and method are pharmaceutically non-intrusive to the body for the purpose of disease diagnosis, treatment therapy, and direct mind control of external devices and systems. It is based on recognizing abnormal brainwave signatures and intervenes at the earliest moment, using magnetic and/or electric stimulations to reset the brainwaves back to normality.

  • Patent number: 7610095
    Abstract: A method and a Cranial Electrical Stimulator CES for operation in a diagnosis, treatment, research, and test mode related to brain disorders, namely to mental disorders, and to neurological disorders, such as migraine and epilepsy, are disclosed. Diagnosis is based on a detected condition of passage of an electric signal via a pathway in the brain defined as passing from a first to a second electrode of a pair of electrodes from an array attached to the skull of a patient. Treatment is achieved by injecting a treatment signal in the pathway detected as having a condition. A practitioner operates a workstation of the CES that controls a signal and routing box SRB generating input signals and receiving output signal from the brain, via the skull and electrodes. The PC of the workstation controls signal input, output reception, measurement, display and storage in memory.

  • Patent number: 7239919
    Abstract: A method and a Cranial Electrical Stimulator CES (4) for operation in a diagnosis, treatment, research, and test mode related to mental disorder, are disclosed. Diagnosis is based on a detected condition of passage of an electric signal via a pathway in the brain defined as passing from a first to a second electrode of a pair of electrodes from an array (12) attached to the skull (6) of a patient. Treatment is achieved by injecting a treatment signal in the pathway detected as having a condition. A practitioner (2) operates a workstation (8) of the CES (4) that controls a signal and routing box SRB (10) generating input signals and receiving output signal from the brain, via the skull (6) and electrodes (12). The PC (14) of the workstation controls signal input, output reception, measurement, display and storage in memory (15).

  • Patent number: 7460903
    Abstract: A means and method for inducing a temporary physiological state-of-mind to effect persistent changes to the cognitive-emotive profile of an individual, which is adaptable for neurofeedback and “mental-state” therapeutic and non-therapeutic interventions. The system comprises an EEG Recording Module (ERM), a Neurodynamics Assessment Module (“NAM”), and a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation module (“TMS”) for acquiring and manipulating bioelectrical and/or EEG data, defining a cognitive-emotive profile, and mapping the cognitive-emotive profile to selectively control transcranial magnetic stimulation to drive therapeutic and non-therapeutic stimulus interventions. A bi-directional feedback feature is provided to further enhance the performance of the system to effect prolonged changes.
