Device for measuring biomedical data of a test subject and method for stimulating the test subject using data processed in real time

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention provides a device and method for measuring biomedical data (such as brain activity) from a test subject in real time, and then immediately processing and using this data to stimulate the subject. The device includes a mechanism to electrically isolate and duplicate the measured data, enabling both secure data recording and real-time processing. Processed data can be fed back as sensory stimuli, such as via visual or auditory cues, to the subject to induce or measure responses.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Real-time neurofeedback therapy, where brainwave data is measured and immediately used to train patients (e.g., in ADHD, depression, or anxiety treatments).
• Closed-loop neuroscience experiments or brain-computer interface (BCI) research, where instant feedback to the subject is required based on their brain activity.
• Clinical monitoring and response testing during anesthesia or neurological exams, where immediate processing and feedback could improve safety or outcomes.
• Animal research for studying brain function using real-time stimulation based on neural data.
• Development of advanced medical devices or rehabilitation systems that adapt stimulation based on immediate physiological states.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Enables true real-time processing and feedback based on physiological signals, improving the precision of experiments or therapies.
• Ensures patient safety by providing electrical isolation between the measurement equipment and processing/feedback systems.
• Can be retrofitted or expanded onto existing biomedical measurement devices such as EEG or MEG.
• Allows versatile use of data both for long-term recording and immediate closed-loop applications.
• Supports advanced neurofeedback and closed-loop stimulation techniques that may enhance treatment efficiency or experimental control.

Patent Abstract

Provided is a device for measuring biomedical data from a testee, with a recording system for taking the data and a first hardware component for displaying the data. A device for electrical separation of the data is arranged in a connector line for transmitting the data from the recording system to the first hardware component for displaying the data. At least a duplication of the data for data processing purposes is thus guaranteed. The data processed in said manner are used for a method for real-time stimulation of a testee.
