US 2015/0033258 A1 · METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MEDIA GUIDANCE APPLICATIONS CONFIGURED TO MONITOR BRAIN ACTIVITY

Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that may monitor the brain activity of a user and determine a first brain state of the user based on the brain activity, in which the first brain state corresponds to a first mood. The media guidance application may also select a second brain state that corresponds to a second mood of the user. In response to determining the first brain state does not correspond to the second brain state, the media guidance application may generate a display of a media asset to the user that is associated with inducing the second brain state.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A method of selecting media content in response to brain activity of a user, the method comprising:

monitoring the brain activity of the user;
determining a first brain state based on the brain activity, wherein the first brain state corresponds to a first mood of the user;
selecting a second brain state, wherein the second brain state corresponds to a second mood of the user;
comparing the first brain state to the second brain state to determine whether the first brain state corresponds to the second brain state;
and
in response to determining the first brain state does not correspond to the second brain state, generating a display of a media asset to the user, wherein the media asset is associated with inducing the second brain state.
