Patent US10695570


Issued 2020-06-30

Prompting System And Method For Enhancing Learning With Neural Modulation

Systems and related methods for enhancing learning of an activity by a subject are described. A prompt for causing the subject to perform the activity is delivered repeatedly, in combination with a neural stimulus, with timing of delivery of prompts and neural stimuli controlled by electrical control circuitry. Neural stimuli are delivered with a transcutaneous neural stimulator located fitted in or on at least a portion of an ear of the subject. The system is implemented in connection with a personal computing device such as a smart phone or tablet computer.

3 Independent Claims

  • 1. A system for enhancing learning of an activity, comprising: a housing configured to fit in or on at least a portion of an ear of a subject; a neural stimulator located in or on the housing and configured to deliver a transcutaneous neural stimulus to a peripheral neural structure located at least in part in or on the ear of the subject; a prompting system configured to deliver at least one prompt for prompting the subject to repeatedly perform a specific activity to be learned, wherein the prompting system is located at least in part in the housing, is located at least in part on the housing, is configured as a wearable item, is configured for attachment to an instrument, is configured for attachment to an implement, is configured for attachment to an article of equipment, is configured for attachment to an article of clothing, is configured for mounting in an instrument, is configured for mounting on an instrument, is configured for mounting in an implement, is configured for mounting on an implement, is configured for mounting in an article of equipment, is configured for mounting on an article of equipment, is configured for mounting in an article of clothing, or is configured for a mounting on an article of clothing; and electrical control circuitry including stimulator control circuitry adapted to generate at least one stimulus control signal for controlling delivery of the transcutaneous neural stimulus to the peripheral neural structure with the neural stimulator; prompter control circuitry adapted to generate at least one prompt control signal for controlling delivery of the prompt by the prompting system; and timing control circuitry is configured to control a number of repetitions of the specific activity that the subject is prompted to perform by the at least one prompt and timing of delivery of the transcutaneous neural stimulus with respect to the at least one prompt.

  • 12. A method of enhancing learning, comprising: delivering, with a neural stimulator housed in a housing fitted in or on at least a portion of an ear of a subject, a transcutaneous neural stimulus to a peripheral neural structure located at least in part in or on the ear of a subject, wherein the neural stimulator is controlled by electrical control circuitry operably coupled to the neural stimulator; delivering, with a prompting system under control of the electrical control circuitry, at least one prompt to the subject for prompting the subject to repeatedly perform a specific activity to be learned, wherein the electrical control circuitry is operably coupled to the prompting system, and wherein the prompting system is located at least in part in the housing, is located at least in part on the housing, is configured as a wearable item, is configured for attachment to an instrument, is configured for attachment to an implement, is configured for attachment to an article of equipment, is configured for attachment to an article of clothing, is configured for mounting in an instrument, is configured for mounting on an instrument, is configured for mounting in an implement, is configured for mounting on an implement, is configured for mounting in an article of equipment, is configured for mounting on an article of equipment, is configured for mounting in an article of clothing, or is configured for a mounting on an article of clothing; controlling, with the electrical control circuitry a timing of delivery of the transcutaneous neural stimulus with respect to the at least one prompt; and a number of repetitions of the specific activity that the subject is prompted to perform by the at least one prompt.

  • 27. A computer program product, comprising: at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium bearing one or more instructions for generating, under control of electrical control circuitry, a least one stimulus control signal for controlling delivery of a transcutaneous neural stimulus to a peripheral neural structure located at least in part in or on an ear of a subject via a neural stimulator fitted in or on at least a portion of the ear of a subject; one or more instructions for delivering, via a prompting system under control of the electrical control circuitry, at least one prompt for prompting the subject to repeatedly perform a specific activity to be learned, wherein the prompting system is located at least in part in the housing, is located at least in part on the housing, is configured as a wearable item, is configured for attachment to an instrument, is configured for attachment to an implement, is configured for attachment to an article of equipment, is configured for attachment to an article of clothing, is configured for mounting in an instrument, is configured for mounting on an instrument, is configured for mounting in an implement, is configured for mounting on an implement, is configured for mounting in an article of equipment, is configured for mounting on an article of equipment, is configured for mounting in an article of clothing, or is configured for a mounting on an article of clothing; one or more instructions for controlling a timing of delivery of the transcutaneous neural stimulus with respect to the at least one prompt; and one or more instructions for controlling a number of repetitions of the specific activity that the subject is prompted to perform by the at least one prompt.
