Abstract

A method of transplanting a desired emotional state from a donor to a recipient, comprising determining an emotional state of the donor, recording neural correlates of the emotional state of the donor who is in the desired emotional state; analyzing neural correlates of the emotional state of the donor to decode at least one of a temporal and a spatial pattern corresponding to the desirable emotional state; converting said at least one of a temporal and a spatial pattern corresponding to the desirable emotional state into a neurostimulation pattern; storing the neurostimulation pattern in the nonvolatile memory; retrieving the neurostimulation pattern from the nonvolatile memory; stimulating the recipients brain with at least one stimulus modulated with the neurostimulation pattern to induce the desired emotional state in the recipient.

Claims (35)

1. A method of neurostimulation, comprising:

receiving a plurality of signals, each respective signal representing an encephalographically-derived brainwave pattern of a donor associated with a respective time-varying brain state of the donor;

storing the plurality of the signals in conjunction with the respective time-varying brain state of the donor for each respective signal, over a range of the respective time-varying brain state of the donor;

analyzing the plurality of signals according to an eigenvector-based multivariate analysis, to define a reduced dimensionality time-varying brain state-dependent pattern associated with the respective time-varying brain state of the donor;

defining a neurostimulation pattern for a selected time-varying brain state of the donor dependent on a deconvolution of the reduced dimensionality pattern for the selected time-varying brain state of the donor; and

stimulating a recipient with the defined neurostimulation pattern to entrain the recipient's brain with the neurostimulation pattern.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respective time-varying brain state of the donor comprises an emotional state, further comprising determining the emotional state of the donor with a biometric sensor.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining an electroencephalographic pattern of the recipient's brain, and controlling a phase of the neurostimulation pattern dependent on the determined electroencephalographic pattern of the recipient's brain.

4. A method defining a neurostimulation pattern for a recipient dependent on an encephalographically derived brainwave pattern of a donor, comprising:

analyzing, with at least one automated processor, a time varying brain state-dependent brainwave pattern of the donor using an eigenvector-based multivariate analysis, to determine a reduced dimensionality brainwave pattern;

defining, with the at least one automated processor, the neurostimulation pattern for the recipient dependent on a deconvolution of the reduced dimensionality brainwave pattern; and

stimulating the recipient with the neurostimulation pattern using a central nervous system stimulator or peripheral nervous system stimulator, wherein the neurostimulation pattern is selectively dependent on the time varying brain state-dependent brainwave pattern of the donor.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the analyzing comprises performing at least one of a principal component analysis (PCA), an independent component analysis (ICA), a factor analysis (FA), a Fourier Transform, and a Laplace Transform.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein defining comprises adapting the neurostimulation pattern dependent on a frequency and a phase of a brainwave pattern of the recipient.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the defining comprises adapting the neurostimulation pattern dependent on a computational model of the recipient's brain.

8. A method neurostimulation, comprising:

recording a brainwave pattern derived from an encephalographic recorder, associated with an emotional state of a donor, and storing the recorded brainwave pattern having a first dimensionality and associated emotional state in a memory;

automatically analyzing the stored brainwave pattern associated with the emotional state of the donor using a multivariate analysis in a multivariate analysis process, to determine a reduced dimensionality pattern having a second dimensionality, the second dimensionality being less than the first dimensionality;

automatically defining a neurostimulation pattern dependent on the reduced dimensionality pattern; and

stimulating a target subject with a neurostimulator according to the neurostimulation pattern.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the multivariate analysis comprises an eigenvector-based multivariate analysis.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the eigenvector-based multivariate analysis is selected from the group consisting of a principal component analysis (PCA), an independent component analysis (ICA), a factor analysis (FA), a Fourier Transform, and a Laplace Transform.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the neurostimulation pattern is defined in a blind deconvolution process of the reduced dimensionality pattern.

12. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising producing the reduced dimensionality pattern using a Local Linear Eigenmaps (LLE) technique to approximate a low-dimensional manifold in a high-dimensional space having a dimensionality in excess of the second dimensionality, wherein the target subject is a human subject.

13. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising producing the reduced dimensionality pattern using a nonlinear dimensionality reduction technique.

14. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising reading an electroencephalographic pattern of the target subject, and synchronizing the neurostimulation pattern with the read electroencephalographic pattern.

15. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the memory comprises a database, the method further comprising storing a plurality of different brainwave patterns, each associated with a respective different emotional state of a donor in the database.

16. The method according to claim 8 , further determining the emotional state of the donor with a biometric sensor.

17. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising entraining a brain of the target subject with the neurostimulation pattern using a neurostimulator.

18. The method according to claim 17 , further comprising producing a visual output with the neurostimulator.

19. The method according to claim 17 , further comprising producing an auditory output with the neurostimulator.

20. The method according to claim 17 , further comprising producing a haptic or vibrational output with the neurostimulator.

21. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising modelling a brain of the target subject, and adapting the neurostimulation pattern in real time in accordance with the model of the brain of the target subject.

22. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising controlling the stimulation of the target subject with electroencephalographic waveform feedback from a brain of the target subject to adaptively optimize a waveform of the stimulation.

23. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising producing by the neurostimulator, an auditory stimulus comprising binaural beats, which entrain brainwaves of a brain of the target subject.
