Abstract
A wireless earpiece includes a wireless earpiece housing, a processor, and a transceiver configured to produce electromagnetic pulses capable of reaching a brain of a user. A method of stimulating the brain of the user using the wireless earpiece includes receiving a request at the wireless earpiece and generating an electromagnetic pulse in response to the request.
Claims18
A wireless earpiece for stimulating a user's brain comprising:
- a wireless earpiece housing;
- a processor disposed within the earpiece housing, the processor configured to determine characteristics of electromagnetic pulses to stimulate the user's brain;
- a transceiver operatively connected to the processor;
- and
- wherein the transceiver is both (1) configured to produce electromagnetic pulses capable of reaching the user's brain according to the characteristics determined by the processor and (2) configured to wirelessly communicate with another wireless earpiece.
A set of wireless earpieces for stimulating a user's brain, wherein each wireless earpiece comprises:
- a wireless earpiece housing;
- a processor disposed within each earpiece housing;
- a transceiver disposed within each earpiece housing and operatively connected to the processor in the earpiece housing in which the transceiver resides;
- a magnetic coil mounted to each earpiece housing and operatively connected to the processor in the earpiece housing in which the magnetic coil is mounted to;
- a plurality of electroencephalography (EEG) sensors mounted to each earpiece housing and operatively connected to the processor in the earpiece housing in which each of the plurality of EEG sensors is mounted to;
- wherein the transceiver and the magnetic coil are configured to produce electromagnetic pulses capable of reaching a user's brain;
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to communicate with another wireless earpiece;
- and
- wherein the plurality of EEG sensors are configured to sense electrical signals from the users brain in response to the electromagnetic pulses.
A method of stimulating a user's brain using a wireless earpiece comprising:
- receiving a request for stimulating the user's brain at the wireless earpiece from the user or a third party associated with the user;
- and
- generating an electromagnetic pulse capable of reaching the user's brain by the wireless earpiece in response to receiving the request;
- wherein the electromagnetic pulse is generated by a transceiver disposed within the wireless earpiece;
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to wireless communicate with another wireless earpiece;
- receiving one or more electrical signals from the user's brain at one or more electroencephalography (EEG) sensors disposed of within the wireless earpiece in response to the electromagnetic pulses and communicating the electrical signals from the user's brain to a processor disposed of within the wireless earpiece.
The method of claim 16, wherein the party is the user or a third party associated with the user.
