Methods and systems for determining, monitoring, and analyzing personalized response variables using brain wave frequency data and interactive multimedia display
A computer-implemented method for monitoring one or more response variables in response to a media segment using brain wave frequency data includes displaying a media segment to a user. The media segment includes one or more embedded flags to flag one or more positions of the media segment. The method further includes acquiring brain wave frequency data of the user, acquiring amplitude data of the acquired brain wave frequency data in one or more frequency bands; and determining one or more response variables in response to the acquired amplitude data of the acquired brain wave frequency data correlating to flagged positions of the media segment.
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring one or more response variables in response to a media segment using brain wave frequency data of a user, comprising:
providing a brain wave system configured to display media segments and determine response variables, wherein said system comprises a look up table with correlations between brain wave frequency data and one or more response variables;
displaying a media segment to the user using the system, wherein the media segment includes one or more embedded flags to flag one or more positions of the media segment, and wherein the one or more embedded flags are associated with expected brain wave frequency data;
acquiring brain wave frequency data of the user;
acquiring amplitude data of the acquired brain wave frequency data in one or more frequency bands; and
determining the one or more response variables using the system, based on the acquired amplitude data of the acquired brain wave frequency data wherein the determining step comprises:
comparing the acquired amplitude data of the acquired brain wave frequency data to the look up table of brain wave frequency data that contains correlations to one or more response variables;
correlating the acquired amplitude data of the acquired brain wave frequency data to the one or more response variables on the look table;
correlating the one or more response variables to flagged positions of the media segment; and
displaying the one or more response variables to the user on a graphical user interface of the system.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the one or more response variables comprises acquiring values of one or more response variables corresponding to the acquired amplitude data in the lookup table.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the lookup table comprises: brain wave frequency data in one or more of alpha, beta, theta, delta, gamma, or mu frequency bands, or any combinations thereof; and corresponding values for the one or more response variables correlating to the brain wave frequency data in one or more of alpha, beta, theta, delta, gamma, or mu frequency bands, or any combinations thereof.
4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising adjusting the one or more response variables in the lookup table to re-calibrate the lookup table with an input of the user.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the one or more response variables in real time.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying in real time the acquired amplitude data of the acquired brain wave frequency data in one or more frequency bands using one or more brain wave frequency gauges.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising displaying the acquired amplitude data correlating to the one or more positions of the one or more embedded flags of the media segment using the one or more brain wave frequency gauges.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the acquired amplitude data of the acquired brain wave frequency data in time-correlation with the displaying of the media segment.
