In order to pro­vide a bet­ter per­spec­tive into the evo­lu­tion of the dig­i­tal brain health indus­try, we are shar­ing some of our analy­sis of 50 foun­da­tion­al patents, as iden­ti­fied and dis­cussed in the 2015 mar­ket report Per­va­sive Neu­rotech­nol­o­gy: A Ground­break­ing Analy­sis of 10,000+ Patent Fil­ings Trans­form­ing Med­i­cine, Health, Enter­tain­ment and Busi­ness.

We will dis­cuss one patent a day, from old­er to new­er by issue date. Today we are shar­ing a 1999 patent assigned to Sci­en­tif­ic Learn­ing Cor­po­ra­tion. We hope you enjoy the peek into the future 🙂

Employ­ing adap­tive learn­ing tech­niques, the ‘988 patent pro­vides meth­ods that test a user’s abil­i­ty to deci­pher words emit­ted via a com­put­er speech syn­the­siz­er [Read more…] about Start­ing today: Past and Future Per­va­sive Neu­rotech­nolo­gies, as seen through 50 Key Patents
