Abstract
A stimulus compression device determines neuro-feedback significance corresponding to stimulus material and modifies the stimulus material using neuro-feedback significance measures. For example, the stimulus compression device determines portions of a media stream corresponding to low neuro-feedback significance and removes them from the media stream. Compression of stimulus material may involve removal, modification, repetition, bit rate adjustment, resolution adjustment, etc. Transitions can be smoothed or lengthened to further improve processed stimulus material.
Claims23
A system, comprising:
- a data collection mechanism including a plurality of modalities operable to obtain response data from a subject exposed to stimulus material, the response data including central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and effector data;
- a compressor device operable to associate neuro-feedback significance with the stimulus material and compress portions of the stimulus material based at least in part on neuro-feedback significance.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining response data from a subject exposed to stimulus material, the response data obtained using a plurality of modalities, the response data including central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and effector data;
- associating neuro-feedback significance with the stimulus material;
- and
- compressing portions of the stimulus material based at least in part on neuro-feedback significance.
A system, comprising:
- means for obtaining response data from a subject exposed to stimulus material, the response data obtained using a plurality of modalities, the response data including central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and effector data;
- means for associating neuro-feedback significance with the stimulus material;
- and
- means for compressing portions of the stimulus material based at least in part on neuro-feedback significance.
