Modulation of brainwave activity using non-invasive stimulation of sensory pathways

A method of providing neuromodulation using a wearable neuromodulation device, the method comprising:

• receiving a neuromodulation protocol including stimulation parameters;
• transmitting the stimulation parameters to at least one stimulator in accordance with the neuromodulation protocol;
• outputting, by the at least one stimulator, a bandwidth-limited sensory stimulus to a sensory organ of a user of the wearable neuromodulation device in accordance with the stimulation parameters to provide neuromodulation of one or more brain regions in one or more brain networks, wherein the bandwidth-limited sensory stimulus is configured to stimulate sensory neurons in the sensory organ, the sensory organ forming part of a sensory pathway, the sensory pathway being an auditory pathway, a visual pathway or a somatosensory pathway, the sensory pathway being connected to the one or more brain regions in the one or more brain networks of the user, thereby modulating neural activity within a brainwave frequency band or bands;
• receive input data representing performance of a task by the user of the wearable neuromodulation device following stimulation of the sensory organ with the bandwidth-limited sensory stimulus;
• and
• adjusting, during operation of the wearable neuromodulation device, the stimulation parameters transmitted to the at least one stimulator based, at least in part, on the received input data.

A wearable integrated neuromodulation device comprising:

• at least one stimulator configured to output a bandwidth-limited sensory stimulus to a sensory organ of a user of the wearable integrated neuromodulation device in accordance with stimulation parameters, wherein the bandwidth-limited sensory stimulus is configured to stimulate sensory neurons in the sensory organ, the sensory organ forming part of a sensory pathway, the sensory pathway being an auditory pathway, a visual pathway or a somatosensory pathway, the sensory pathway being connected to one or more brain regions in one or more brain networks of the user, thereby modulating neural activity within a brainwave frequency band or bands;
• at least one power source configured to provide operating power to at least one of the at least one stimulator and at least one sensor;
• and
• controller circuitry configured to:
• transmit the stimulation parameters to the at least one stimulator in accordance with the neuromodulation protocol to provide neuromodulation of the one or more brain regions in the one or more brain networks;
• receive input data representing performance of a task by the user of the wearable neuromodulation device following stimulation of the sensory organ with the bandwidth-limited sensory stimulus;
• and
• adjust, during operation of the wearable integrated neuromodulation device, the stimulation parameters transmitted to the at least one stimulator based, at least in part, on the received input data.
