Patent US10130299


Issued 2018-11-20

Neurofeedback Eyeglasses

Thermal measurements of the forehead can be indicative of brain activity, and as such, may be useful for conducting brain-related treatments, such as neurofeedback. In one embodiment, a system for conducting a neurofeedback session includes an inward-facing head-mounted thermal camera (CAM) and a user interface. CAM takes thermal measurements of a region on the forehead (THF) of a user, and is located below the middle of the region. The user interface provides, based on THF, the neurofeedback session for the user. Optionally, a computer controls the neurofeedback session by providing the user feedback via the user interface. The computer may generate the feedback based on the similarity between a current THF pattern and a previous THF pattern of the user taken while the user was in a target state.

2 Independent Claims

  • 1. A system configured to provide a neurofeedback session, comprising: an inward-facing head-mounted thermal camera (CAM) configured to take thermal measurements of a region on the forehead (THF) of a user; wherein CAM is located below the middle of the region; and a user interface configured to provide, based on THF, a neurofeedback session for the user.

  • 21. A method for conducting a neurofeedback session, comprising: taking thermal measurements of a region on the forehead (THF) of a user using an inward-facing head-mounted thermal camera that is located below the middle of the region and less than 10 cm from the user's head; and taking measurements (mconf) indicative of at least one of the following confounding factors: touching the forehead, thermal radiation directed at the forehead, and direct airflow on the forehead; whereby a confounding factor causes a change in THF that is not due to brain activity; and conducting a neurofeedback session for the user based on THF and mconf.
