Addressing aging-related cognitive decline via targeted training using visual sweeps: Key neurotech patent by Posit Science

May 15, 2017 by SharpBrains

visual sweeps
– Illus­tra­tive image from U.S. Patent No. 8,215,961

Today we are fea­tur­ing a 2012 patent by Posit Sci­ence Cor­po­ra­tion, the devel­op­er of Brain­HQ cog­ni­tive train­ing system.

U.S. Patent No. 8,215,961: Cog­ni­tive train­ing using visu­al sweeps

  • Assignee(s): Posit Sci­ence Corporation
  • Inventor(s): Michael M. Merzenich, Peter B. Delahunt, Joseph L. Hardy, Stephen G. Lis­berg­er, Hen­ry W. Mahncke
  • Tech­nol­o­gy Cat­e­go­ry: Neu­rocog­ni­tive training
  • Issue Date: July 10, 2012

SharpBrains’ Take:

The back­ground of the ‘961 patent describes the decline in cog­ni­tive func­tion asso­ci­at­ed with aging, such as the reduced abil­i­ty to com­pre­hend and respond to stim­u­lus.

Train your brain to remember her name: Key patent for cognitive training system using face-name associations

May 8, 2017 by SharpBrains

face names
– Illus­tra­tive image from U.S. Patent No. 8,197,258

Today we are shar­ing a 2012 patent by Posit Sci­ence aimed at enhanc­ing cog­ni­tive abil­i­ty using face-name associations.

U.S. Patent No. 8,197,258: Cog­ni­tive train­ing using face-name associations

  • Assignee(s): Posit Sci­ence Corporation
  • Inventor(s): Peter B. Delahunt, Joseph L. Hardy, Hen­ry W. Mah­ncke, Shru­ti Gangadhar
  • Tech­nol­o­gy Cat­e­go­ry: Neu­roCog­ni­tive Training
  • Issue Date: June 12, 2012

SharpBrains’ Take:

The facial recog­ni­tion capac­i­ties of the human brain serves a crit­i­cal func­tion, from when an infant first makes eye-con­tact with its moth­er through­out the span of adult­hood where we must be able to iden­ti­fy and dis­tin­guish oth­er peo­ple in order to nav­i­gate and oper­ate in soci­ety.

Enhancing cognition via brain training with a visual emphasis: Key neurotechnology patent #38

April 4, 2017 by SharpBrains

cognitive training
– Illus­tra­tive image from U.S. Patent No. 7,773,097

Today we high­light a 2010 patent assigned to Posit Sci­ence Cor­po­ra­tion, the devel­op­er of Brain­HQ brain train­ing sys­tem. (As men­tioned, we are fea­tur­ing foun­da­tion­al Per­va­sive Neu­rotech patents, from old­er to new­er by issue date, to get a bet­ter glimpse into emerg­ing trends)

U.S. Patent No. 7,773,097: Visu­al empha­sis for cog­ni­tive train­ing exercises

  • Assignee(s): Posit Sci­ence Corporation
  • Inventor(s): Michael M. Merzenich, Peter B. Delahunt, Joseph L. Hardy, Hen­ry W. Mah­ncke, Don­ald Richard
  • Tech­nol­o­gy Cat­e­go­ry: Neu­rocog­ni­tive training
  • Issue Date: August 10, 2010

SharpBrains’ Take:

In a sim­i­lar yet unique approach to the ‘961 patent (anoth­er note­wor­thy non-inva­sive neu­rotech­nol­o­gy patent assigned to Posit Sci­ence), the ‘097 patent dis­clos­es meth­ods for iter­a­tive­ly test­ing and train­ing a user’s abil­i­ty to dis­cern between pre­sent­ed stim­uli.
