Abstract

Provided are systems, methods, and devices for providing mediation of a traumatic brain injury. Systems may include an interface, processing devices, and a controller. The interface is configured to obtain measurements from a brain of a user with a traumatic brain injury. A first processing device is configured to generate multiple brain state parameters characterizing one or more features of a brain state of the user. A second processing device is configured to generate models of the brain of the user based on the plurality of brain state parameters and the plurality of measurements, and determine, using the models and training data comprising one or more mediation data points, a mediation procedure for reducing one or more symptoms of the traumatic brain injury. The mediation procedure is provided to one or more entities, and one or more control signals are generated by the controller based on the mediation procedure.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of brain state parameters includes deterministic and stochastic observers and estimators of one or more brain states.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of brain state parameters includes a learning estimator model configured to estimate effects of behavioral or functional responses.

14 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

generating diagnostic information based on the one or more models; and

transmitting a notification message including the diagnostic information to one or more entities.

15 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising performing, via an embedded prosthetic device implanted in the user, the electrical stimulation of the brain of the user based on the one or more control signals.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the embedded prosthetic device is communicatively coupled to the interface.

17 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising updating the control signals transmitted to the embedded prosthetic device based on updated measurements obtained by the interface after the electrical stimulation is performed on the brain of the user.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the embedded prosthetic device is activated by the controller in response to detection or identification of one or more of the plurality of brain state parameters.

19 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a computer, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

obtaining a plurality of measurements from a brain of a user, wherein the plurality of measurements are obtained by an interface with one or more electrodes positioned on a scalp of the user;

generating, via a processing device, a plurality of brain state parameters characterizing one or more features of at least one brain state of the user;

training, via the processing device, a neural network to generate one or more models of the brain of the user, wherein the neural network is trained using training data generated at least in part, from one or more mediation data points, the plurality of brain state parameters, and the plurality of measurements, wherein a procedure for therapeutic mediation is determined using at least the one or more models, the procedure for mediation configured to mitigate a cognitive condition or impairment;

generating, via a controller, one or more control signals to electrically stimulate the brain of the user to mitigate the cognitive condition or impairment, wherein the one or more control signals are generated based on the procedure for mediation; and

electrically stimulating the brain, with the one or more electrodes, based on the one or more control signals.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the one or more programs further comprise instructions for performing, via an embedded prosthetic device implanted in the user, the electrical stimulation the brain of the user based on the one or more control signals.
