Abstract
A method analyzing event-related potentials (ERP), and their respective P300 brain wave responses of a subject to a repeatedly presented stimulus interspersed with non-significant stimuli. The method comprises providing a source of stimulation to the subject including personal knowledge and non-significant stimuli, detecting event related potentials of the subject, translating these potentials to P300 brain waves, and analyzing the P300 brain wave activity for personal knowledge detection. A computer is is utilized to interpret and analyze the responses for personal knowledge.
Claims3
A method of determining the cognitive response to personally meaningful information of a subject to a repeatedly presented significant personal knowledge stimulus or stimuli interspersed with nonsignificant stimuli comprising:
- (a) formulating a series of stimuli to be presented to the subject, said stimuli to include non-significant stimuli and possibly personally significant stimuli;
- (b) providing a source of stimulation to the subject, including said personal knowledge and said nonsignificant stimuli;
- (c) providing detection means for detecting event related potentials;
- (d) translating event related potentials to P300 brain waves;
- (e) obtaining P300 brain wave activity;
- and
- (f) analyzing said P300 brain wave activity for personal knowledge detection.
