Method for amplifying abnormal pattern signal in observed brain activity of a subject for diagnosis or treatment

A method for amplifying abnormal pattern signals in brainwaves or other brain related signals of a subject for diagnosis or treatment purposes comprising steps of:

• acquiring at least one brain wave or other brain related signal with at least one sensor from a subject;
• applying a transform to the at least one brain wave or other brain related signal with a processor to obtain at least two coefficients from the brain wave or other brain related signal;
• aligning those coefficients with electronics or a processor corresponding with at least one abnormal pattern signal;
• combining the aligned coefficients corresponding with the at least one abnormal pattern signal with electronics or the processor;
• comparing the aligned and combined coefficients with a predetermined threshold using electronics or the processor;
• outputting a signal or data corresponding to the comparison between the aligned and combined coefficients and the threshold to a monitor or a printer;
• using the outputted comparison between the aligned and combined coefficients and the threshold to identify an abnormality in the subject's at least one brain wave or other brain related signal;
• and
• diagnosing and/or treating, by a care provider or clinician, abnormal brain activity of the subject based at least in part on the identified abnormal pattern signal.

A method for amplifying abnormal pattern signals in brainwaves or other brain related signals of a subject for diagnosis or treatment purposes comprising steps of:

• acquiring at least one brain wave or other brain related signal with at least one sensor from a subject;
• applying a redundant time-frequency transform to the at least one brain wave or other brain related signal with a processor to obtain at least two coefficients from the brain wave or other brain related signal;
• aligning those coefficients with electronics or the processor corresponding with at least one abnormal pattern signal;
• combining the aligned coefficients with electronics or the processor corresponding with the at least one abnormal pattern signal;
• applying a filter or an integrator with electronics or the processor to the aligned and combined coefficients;
• outputting a signal or data corresponding to the aligned and combined coefficients to a monitor or a printer;
• using the outputted aligned and combined coefficients corresponding with the at least one abnormal pattern signal to identify the subject's abnormal pattern signal from the at least one brain wave or other brain related signal;
• and
• diagnosing and/or treating, by a care provider or clinician, abnormal brain activity of the subject based at least in part on the identified abnormal pattern signal.
