Patent US10143842


Issued 2018-12-04

Method And System For Providing Electrical Stimulation To A User

A method for providing electrical stimulation to a user as a user performs a set of tasks during a time window, the method comprising: providing an electrical stimulation treatment, characterized by a stimulation parameter and a set of portions, to a brain region of the user in association with the time window; for each task of the set of tasks: receiving a signal stream characterizing a neurological state of the user; from the signal stream, identifying a neurological signature characterizing the neurological state associated with the task; and modulating the electrical stimulation treatment provided to the brain region of the user based upon the neurological signature, wherein modulating comprises delivering a portion of the set of portions of the electrical stimulation treatment to the brain region of the user, while maintaining an aggregate amount of the stimulation parameter of the treatment provided during the time window below a maximum limit.

2 Independent Claims

  • 1. A method for providing electrical stimulation to a user, as the user undergoes a set of events pertaining to neurological activity of the user within a time window, the method comprising: providing an electrical stimulation device at a surface of a head region of the user; and with the electrical stimulation device, providing an electrical stimulation session, characterized by a set of portions, to a brain region of the user in association with the time window, wherein providing the electrical stimulation session comprises: delivering a first portion of the set of portions of the electrical stimulation session to the brain region of the user in association with a first event of the set of events; receiving, at a biosignal detection device, a signal stream characterizing a neurological state of the user; detecting a second event, the second event comprising an entry of the user to a stressed state based on the signal stream; and delivering a second portion of the set of portions of the electrical stimulation session to the brain region of the user upon detecting the second event.

  • 5. A method for providing electrical stimulation to a user comprising: providing an electrical stimulation device at a head region of a user; guiding the user in performing a task at a mobile computing device associated with the user; determining a neurological state of the user associated with the performance of the task by the user, wherein determining the neurological state comprises determining an emotional state of the user; at an electrical stimulation device, providing an electrical stimulation treatment to a brain region of the user; and modulating the electrical stimulation treatment provided to the user based upon the neurological state, thereby modifying the emotional state of the user.
