  • Patent number: 9118775
    Abstract: A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the operation of the mobile terminal are provided. The method according to one embodiment includes connecting a call between the mobile terminal and a counterpart mobile terminal; preparing a brain wave sensor and determining a state of mind of a user based on brain wave measurements obtained from the user by the brain wave sensor module; and performing a control operation relevant to the call according to the determined state of mind of the user.

  • Patent number: 11544404
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods that enable access control for digital objects based on measured physiological signals of a user. A method of operation of a human mind interface (HMI) system includes measuring, via a physiological sensor of a HMI device, a brain pattern of a user while the user retrieves a digital object after training. The method includes identifying, via a processor of the HMI device, the measured brain pattern stored in a memory of the HMI device, and determining, via the processor, the digital object stored in the memory that is associated with the identified brain pattern. The method includes accessing, via the processor, the digital object and retrieving information contained in the digital object and providing, via the processor of the HMI device, the information contained in the digital object to a recipient on behalf of the user.

  • 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: 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: 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.
