US 2023/0405307 A1 · POSITIONING OF ELECTRODES FOR TRANSCRANIAL BRAIN STIMULATION

Abstract

A method of guiding positioning of a headset for transcranial brain stimulation on a head of a user of the headset is disclosed The method includes: capturing, using a camera, one or more head images depicting the head; detecting, in the one or more head images, features of the head; creating, using the detected features of the head, a model of the head; computing, using the model of the head, an intended headset position on the head; and displaying, on a display, a representation of the headset as an overlay on an image of the head of the user. Also a kit includes a headset for transcranial brain stimulation, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium is disclosed, which configures an electronic device to perform the method of guiding positioning of a headset.

Dependent claims

A method of guiding positioning of electrodes for transcranial brain stimulation on a head of a user of the electrodes, the method comprising:

capturing, using a camera, one or more head images depicting the head;
detecting, in the one or more head images, features of the head;
creating, using the detected features of the head, a model of the head;
computing, using the model of the head, intended positions of the electrodes on the head;
and
displaying, on a display, a representation of the electrodes as an overlay on an image of the head of the user.

3 more elements

A kit comprising:

a headset (100) for transcranial brain stimulation, the headset (100) comprising a circuit (200) comprising a first electrode (102A), a second electrode (102B);
and
a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program which is executable on an electronic device (150) having processing capabilities, wherein the program comprises program code portions which when executed on the electronic device (150) is configured to:
receive one or more head images depicting a head of a user of the headset (100);
detect, in the one or more head images, features of the head;
create, using the detected features of the head, a model of the head;
compute, using the model of the head, an intended headset position on the head;
and
display, on a display, a representation of the headset as an overlay on an image of the head of the user.
