Abstract
The present application discloses and describes neurostimulation systems and methods that include, among other features, (i) neural stimulation through audio with dynamic modulation characteristics, (ii) audio content serving and creation based on modulation characteristics, (iii) extending audio tracks while avoiding audio discontinuities, and (iv) non-auditory neurostimulation and methods, including non-auditory neurostimulation for anesthesia recovery.
Claims20
Tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media comprising program instructions, wherein the program instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing system to perform functions comprising:
- segmenting an audio track into a plurality of audio segments, wherein the audio track has an original playback duration;
- determining similarities between individual audio segments of the plurality of audio segments;
- while the audio track is playing, extending playback of the audio track beyond the original playback duration in an ongoing manner by playing audio segments in a non-sequential order based at least in part on one or more similarities between audio segments, wherein extending playback of the audio track beyond the original playback duration comprises:
- while a first audio segment of the audio track is playing, crossfading from the first audio segment to a second audio segment of the audio track based at least in part on one or more similarities between the first audio segment and the second audio segment.
A method performed by a computing system, wherein the method comprises:
- segmenting an audio track into a plurality of audio segments, wherein the audio track has an original playback duration;
- determining similarities between individual audio segments of the plurality of audio segments;
- while the audio track is playing, extending playback of the audio track beyond the original playback duration in an ongoing manner by playing audio segments in a non-sequential order based at least in part on one or more similarities between audio segments, wherein extending playback of the audio track beyond the original playback duration comprises:
- while a first audio segment of the audio track is playing, crossfading from the first audio segment to a second audio segment of the audio track based at least in part on one or more similarities between the first audio segment and the second audio segment.
