Abstract
A method of transplanting a sleep state of a first subject (donor) to a second subject (recipient) comprising: capturing a sleep state of the first subject represented by brain activity patterns; and transplanting the sleep state of the first subject in the second subject by inducing the brain activity patterns in the second subject.
Claims20
A method of inducing a desired mental arousal state of a first subject in a second subject comprising:
- a. determining brainwave activity patterns of a first subject who has a respective desired mental arousal state with a brainwave sensing device;
- b. processing the brainwave activity patterns of the first subject who has the respective desired mental arousal state with an automated processor to classify brainwave patterns according to a statistical classifier or neural network, while preserving at least waveform phase information of the brainwave activity patterns, and
- c. inducing the desired mental arousal state in the second subject with a sensory stimulator by stimulating the second subject based on the determined brainwave activity patterns of the first subject comprising the preserved at least phase information of the brainwave activity patterns.
A method of replicating a desired mental state of a first subject in a second subject comprising:
- a. identifying a mental state of the first subject corresponding to the desired mental state;
- b. capturing the mental state of the first subject by recording brainwave activity patterns;
- c. saving the brainwave activity patterns in a non-volatile memory;
- d. processing the brainwave activity patterns with an automated processor to classify brainwave patterns according to a statistical classifier or neural network, while preserving at least waveform phase information of the brainwave activity patterns;
- e. retrieving the brainwave activity patterns from the non-volatile memory;
- and
- e. replicating the desired mental state of the first subject in the second subject by selectively providing sensory stimulation of the second subject comprising the preserved at least phase information of the brainwave activity patterns, adapted to induce the brainwave activity patterns in the second subject corresponding to the desired mental state.
A system for replicating a desired mental state of a first subject in a second subject comprising:
- a. a non-volatile digital data storage medium configured to store data representing a frequency and phase pattern of a plurality of channels of brainwaves of the first subject;
- b. a stimulator configured to induce a brainwave pattern in the second subject which emulates the desired mental state of the first subject when the brainwaves of the first subject were acquired;
- c. a sensor configured to determine the brainwave pattern of the second subject concurrently with stimulation by the stimulator;
- and
- d. an automated processor, configured to read the non-volatile digital data storage medium, process the brainwaves to classify brainwave patterns according to a statistical classifier or neural network, while preserving at least waveform phase information of the brainwaves, and control the stimulator selectively dependent on the stored data and the determined brainwave pattern of the second subject to present a sensory stimulus comprising the preserved at least phase information of the brainwaves.
