What’s normal? When it comes to the brain, it’s hard to say, and that’s why we need to study global neurodiversity
In a small village in India—a place so remote it has no electricity, no telecommunication system, and no cars or buses—a research worker prepares to place an EEG headset on a female villager’s head. The woman, who earns $3.75 a day laboring in a nearby rice paddy and who has never ventured outside her village, eyes…

Read MoreNeuroinformatics meets music: Do you actually like that song or do you merely think you do?
As a neuroinformatics researcher, my vision is to bridge consumers wearing mobile EEG devices with online music recommendation services. Our research group is already working in that direction, decoding brainwaves while listening to music in order to predict “Like” ratings and then submit the feedback to music streaming services. As an example, this past September we were asked…
Read MoreRecognizing unique EEG brainwaves to enhance biometric authentication: Key Neurotech Patent #20
Today we are sharing a robust 2005 patent harnessing EEG brainwaves in the (now) hot space of biometric authentication and security. (As mentioned, we are featuring a foundational Pervasive Neurotech patent a day, from older to newer by issue date) U.S. Patent No. 6,898,299: Method and system for biometric recognition based on electric and/or magnetic characteristics. Assignee(s): GR…
