May 31, 2017 by SharpBrains

stimulus material
– Illus­tra­tive image from U.S. Patent No. 8,392,251

Today we are shar­ing a 2013 patent by The Nielsen Com­pa­ny. (As men­tioned, we are fea­tur­ing foun­da­tion­al Per­va­sive Neu­rotech patents, from old­er to new­er by issue date, to help pre­view emerg­ing neu­rotech­nolo­gies and brain health solutions)

U.S. Patent No. 8,392,251: Loca­tion aware pre­sen­ta­tion of stim­u­lus material

  • Assignee(s): The Nielsen Company
  • Inventor(s): Anan­tha Pradeep, Robert T. Knight, Ramachan­dran Guru­moor­thy, Dev Ratnakar
  • Tech­nol­o­gy Cat­e­go­ry: EEG
  • Issue Date: March 5, 2013

SharpBrains’ Take:

Issued by the same exam­in­er and con­cur­rent­ly with Nielsen’s ‘250 patent, the ‘251 patent great­ly com­ple­ments the Nielsen port­fo­lio, con­sid­er­ing neu­rore­sponse data to stim­u­lus mate­r­i­al based on user-pro­file and loca­tion infor­ma­tion.

Want a music system that lifts you up when you’re feeling down? Meet this audio headset with bio-signal sensors (key neurotech patent #48)

May 18, 2017 by SharpBrains

—

Today we are fea­tur­ing a fas­ci­nat­ing patent by Neu­roSky, cou­pling an audio head­phone set sys­tem with EEG sig­nal detection.

U.S. Patent No. 8,271,075: Audio head­set with bio-sig­nal sensors

  • Assignee(s): Neu­roSky, Inc.
  • Inventor(s): Cheng‑I Chuang, KooHy­oung Lee
  • Tech­nol­o­gy Cat­e­go­ry: EEG
  • Issue Date: Sep­tem­ber 18, 2012

SharpBrains’ Take:

The ‘075 patent cou­ples an audio head­phone set sys­tem with EEG sig­nal detec­tion by inte­grat­ing an EEG sen­sor (item 15 in the illus­tra­tive image) into the audio ear­piece to estab­lish a sens­ing head­set that is unlike­ly to cause dis­com­fort or oth­er­wise detract from the audio head­phone user’s expe­ri­ence.
