Abstract

A group association system attempts to identify if an individual is “gifted” in any particular area. A group association system is based on brainwave response to stimulation is disclosed. The system including a brainwave stimuli device which provides stimuli to groups of highly skilled, general skilled, and a general population groups, as test stimuli for determination of group association. A brainwave collection device collects brainwaves of individuals, with the brainwave collection device storing collected brainwaves in a brainwave database. A brainwave processing device analyzes brainwaves received from the brainwave database. A brainwave analysis device uses analyst screens, artificial intelligence or machine learning to analyze the brainwaves create at least one signature development module for determination of similar brainwaves related to different individuals' responses to the same stimuli. In addition, at least one signature development module determines which individuals have the same or similar brainwave responses to the same test stimuli.

Claims (17)

1. A group association method comprising:

selecting highly skilled individuals from a highly skilled group of individuals;

selecting a plurality of test stimuli to be presented to each of the selected highly skilled individuals;

presenting the plurality of test stimuli to each of the selected highly skilled individuals and collecting highly skilled brainwave responses via a plurality of electrodes corresponding to each of the plurality of test stimuli presented to each of the highly skilled individuals;

analyzing the collected highly skilled brainwave responses for at least one of an amplitude value, a power value or a frequency value to identify a highly skilled brainwave response pattern for each of the highly skilled brainwave responses individuals, by comparing the at least one of the amplitude value, the power value or the frequency value between one of

different regions of a plurality of electrode sensor regions of the plurality of electrodes, or

electrode-pair channels of the plurality of electrodes;

developing at least one brainwave response signature from a plurality of similar identified highly skilled brainwave response patterns;

selecting general skilled individuals from a general skilled group of individuals;

presenting the plurality of test stimuli to each of the selected general skilled individuals and collecting general skilled brainwave responses corresponding to each of the plurality of test stimuli presented to each of the general skilled individuals;

analyzing the general skilled brainwave responses to identify at least one general skilled brainwave response pattern corresponding to at least one individual of the general skilled individuals;

comparing the general skilled brainwave pattern to the at least one brainwave response signature from the plurality of similar highly skilled brainwave response patterns;

identifying an individual from the selected general skilled individuals that have a high correlation of an identified general skilled brainwave pattern with the at least one brainwave response signature; and

providing an indication of the identified individual from the selected general skilled individuals.

2. The group association method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of test stimuli include at least some test stimuli of the plurality of test stimuli being non-learned stimuli presented to the individuals.

3. The group association method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of test stimuli include test stimuli of the plurality of test stimuli being both learned and non-learned stimuli presented to the individuals.

4. The group association method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of test stimuli include test stimuli of the plurality of test stimuli being non-learned stimuli presented to the individuals.
