Title: APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DECODING SENSORY AND COGNITIVE INFORMATION FROM BRAIN ACTIVITY
Usefulness: APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DECODING SENSORY AND COGNITIVE INFORMATION FROM BRAIN ACTIVITY
Summary: Method for decoding and reconstructing a subjective perceptual or cognitive experience of a human subject during imagery and recall, to identify, classify or reconstruct brain activity stimulus or mental state during psychotherapy.. Can also be used as a biofeedback device during rehabilitation, for diagnozing perceptual dysfunction due to injury and disease in neurology application, and for decoding perceptual and cognitive experiences of animals e.g. drug sniffing dogs and guide dogs.
Novelty: Method for decoding and reconstructing subjective perceptual or cognitive experience of human subject, involves reconstructing stimuli related to brain activity data based on probability of correspondence between data and activity values
