Abstract
A method and system for neuromodulation therapy is described. One or more psychophysiological parameters based on an electrical signal of a user's brain activity are determined and used to generate a neuromodulation marker using a neuromodulation recipe. The neuromodulation marker may be determined using statistical estimates of the psychophysiological parameters in relation to a reference distribution. Feedback is then provided to the user based on the neuromodulation marker. Weighting parameters may be used to vary the neuromodulation recipe and personalize the neuromodulation therapy in response to performance or user input.
Claims20
A method for providing neuromodulation therapy to a subject, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor from a sensor in communication with the processor, a first electrical signal of the subject's brain activity during a first time interval;
- selecting, at the processor, one or more psychophysiological parameters of the first electrical signal;
- determining, at the processor, the one or more psychophysiological parameters based on the first electrical signal;
- determining, at the processor, an amplitude value of each of the one or more psychophysiological parameters;
- determining, at the processor, a first neuromodulation marker based on the amplitude values of the one or more psychophysiological parameters;
- and
- outputting, at an output device in communication with the processor, an output signal, the output signal comprising a first output property determined based on the first neuromodulation marker.
A system for providing a neuromodulation application to a subject, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor;
- a memory;
- a processor in communication with the at least one sensor and the memory, the processor configured to:
- receive from the at least one sensor a first electrical signal of the subject's brain activity during a first time interval;
- select one or more psychophysiological parameters of the first electrical signal;
- determine the one or more psychophysiological parameters based on the first electrical signal;
- determine an amplitude value of each of the one or more psychophysiological parameters;
- determine a first neuromodulation marker based on one or more amplitude values of the one or more psychophysiological parameters during the first time interval;
- and
- determine a first output property based on the first neuromodulation marker, and optionally
- an output device, the output device for outputting an output signal, the output signal comprising the first output property.
