Patent No. 6128527

Apparatus and method of analyzing electrical brain activity (Howard, III, et al., Oct 3, 2000)

Abstract

An apparatus and method for mapping a patient's brain includes analyzing the waveform of electrical action potentials generated in the patient's brain to determine whether the waveforms match one or more predetermined waveforms. A system embodying the invention includes waveform discriminator circuitry capable of comparing the waveform of a sensed electrical action potential to predetermined waveforms. A system embodying the invention may also include a user interface for selecting a waveform and a transducer for generating a user recognizable signal when a waveform of a sensed electrical action potential matches a selected waveform.

Notes: 

Apparatus and method of analyzing electrical brain activity. Filed December 1997, granted October 2000. Fairly self-explanatory. Does mention electromagnetic communication between implanted microelectrode and receiver. Also goes into brain mapping, or if you prefer brain activity mapping. Uses microelectrodes in or on brain as opposed to earlier skin electrodes. Everything listed could also be done with remote neural monitoring.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is an apparatus and method for analyzing electrical action potentials in a patient's brain based on the waveforms of the sensed electrical action potentials. In a system or method embodying the invention, the waveforms of sensed electrical action potentials in the patient's brain are compared to one or more predetermined waveforms to determine whether the sensed electrical action potentials match or are substantially similar to the predetermined waveforms. An apparatus or method embodying the invention allows a neurosurgeon to determine whether a particular electrical action potential corresponds to a motor activity or sensory function with greater accuracy and precision. Thus, apparatus and methods embodying the invention allow a neurosurgeon to better map different portions of a patient's brain.

Additional advantages, objects, and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following, or may be learned from practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained as particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

-----------------------------------------

The foregoing embodiments are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims. Many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

Patent No. 6506148 Nervous system manipulation by EM Fields from monitors

Patent No. 6506148 Nervous system manipulation by EM Fields from monitors (Loos, Jan 14, 2003)    Abstract Physiological effects have been observed in a human subject in response to stimulation of the skin with weak electromagnetic fields that are pulsed with certain frequencies near 1/2 Hz or 2.4 Hz, such as to excite a sensory resonance. Many computer monitors and TV tubes, when displaying pulsed images, emit pulsed electromagnetic fields of sufficient amplitudes to cause such excitation. It is therefore possible to manipulate the nervous system of a subject by pulsing images displayed on a nearby computer monitor or TV set. For the latter, the image pulsing may be imbedded in the program material, or it may be overlaid by modulating a video stream, either as an RF signal or as a video signal. The image displayed on a computer monitor may be pulsed effectively by a simple computer program. For certain monitors, pulsed elec...

Patent No. 5159703 Silent subliminal presentation system

Image
 Patent No. 5159703 Silent subliminal presentation system (Lowery, Oct 27, 1992) Abstract A silent communications system in which nonaural carriers, in the very low or very high audio frequency range or in the adjacent ultrasonic frequency spectrum, are amplitude or frequency modulated with the desired intelligence and propagated acoustically or vibrationally, for inducement into the brain, typically through the use of loudspeakers, earphones or piezoelectric transducers. The modulated carriers may be transmitted directly in real time or may be conveniently recorded and stored on mechanical, magnetic or optical media for delayed or repeated transmission to the listener.

1931  Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland , Utah , and Panama , and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients. 1932 The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated. 1935 The Pellagra Incident.

Patent No. 6017302 Subliminal acoustic manipulation of nervous system

Image
Patent No. 6017302 Subliminal acoustic manipulation of nervous system (Loos, Jan 25, 2000)      Abstract In human subjects, sensory resonances can be excited by subliminal atmospheric acoustic pulses that are tuned to the resonance frequency. The 1/2 Hz sensory resonance affects the autonomic nervous system and may cause relaxation, drowsiness, or sexual excitement, depending on the precise acoustic frequency near 1/2 Hz used. The effects of the 2.5 Hz resonance include slowing of certain cortical processes, sleepiness, and disorientation. For these effects to occur, the acoustic intensity must lie in a certain deeply subliminal range. Suitable apparatus consists of a portable battery-powered source of weak subaudio acoustic radiation. The method and apparatus can be used by the general public as an aid to relaxation, sleep, or sexual arousal, and clinically for the control and perhaps treatment of insomnia, tremors, epil...

Patent No. 6536440 Method and system for generating sensory data onto the human neural cortex

  Patent No. 6536440 Assignee: Sony Corporation (Tokyo, JP); Sony Electronics, Inc. (Park Ridge, NJ) Method and system for generating sensory data onto the human neural cortex (Dawson, Mar 25, 2003) Abstract A non-invasive system and process for projecting sensory data onto the human neural cortex is provided. The system includes a primary transducer array and a secondary transducer array. The primary transducer array acts as a coherent signal source, and the secondary transducer array acts as a controllable diffraction pattern that focuses energy onto the neural cortex in a desired pattern. In addition, the pattern of energy is constructed such that each portion projected into the neural cortex may be individually pulsed at low frequency. This low frequency pulsing is formed by controlling the phase differences between the emitted energy of the elements of primary and secondary transducer arrays. Notes:   Method ...
