Naxon BrainGym and Muse as a neurofeedback device

Naxon BrainGym: enhancing mental faculties and improving people's quality of life

We have thought Naxon BrainGym as a physical place, an environment designed to enhance mental faculties in every way and improve people’s quality of life. The site consists of 3 "stations" each with a screen and a portable EEG headband. The persons choose the station, put on the headband and begin to exercise their brain by interacting with the personal computer or Tablet, choosing the exercise they want to do. There is a Neurotechnology consultant on site who is in charge of ensuring that the stations work correctly and advising clients if necessary. Read the article.

Experience using Muse as a neurofeedback device

By reading the brain waves produced by the brain, the?Muse?can detect if the levels of attention and relaxation increase or decrease during a meditation session. Through a system of feedback based on different environmental or musical sounds, the device translates neuronal information into useful signals for the person. Read the article.

Meta Is Building AI That Can 'Hear' What You're Hearing by Studying Brainwaves. 169 healthy adults listened to stories and words read aloud while having various equipment (such electrodes stuck to their heads) monitor their brain activity. In an effort to uncover patterns, researchers then input the data into an AI model. Based on the electrical and magnetic activity in participants' brains, they wanted the algorithm to "hear" or ascertain what the participants were listening to. This AI software is currently only in its very early stage. Although Meta has no immediate intentions to turn this technology into a commercial product, it might be a first step toward reading a nonverbal person's thoughts to enable them to communicate more effectively. According to Jean Remi King, a research scientist at the Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) Lab, this is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from a variety of conditions that essentially impair communication, such as traumatic brain injury and anoxia.

Wearable devices could help predict seizures. Florida International University researchers from the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Services (KFSCIS) are working to make life safer for these patients by developing algorithms and wearable devices that help predict a seizure. The results of their work would allow epileptics to get to a safe place if a seizure is imminent ― or even take medication that could halt the attack before it occurs, said principal investigator Fahad Saeed, associate professor at KFSCIS.

Measuring concentration watching Tesla Armor Glass Demo.?We exposed several participants to different videos to measure concentration levels using?Naxon Emotions. In this?video?we show a real-time monitoring of a participant's brain waves and her exact level of concentration, while watching a video of Elon Musk in the Tesla Armor Glass Demo. The test was performed using EEG headbands like?Muse devices. See how you can measure and record in real time the state of concentration and alertness of a person.

How the brain generates rhythmic behavior. MIT neuroscientists have identified an oscillatory circuit that controls the rhythmic movement of mouse whiskers. “We have defined a mammalian oscillator molecularly, electrophysiologically, functionally, and mechanistically,” says Fan Wang, an MIT professor of brain and cognitive sciences and a member of MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research. “It’s very exciting to see a clearly defined circuit and mechanism of how rhythm is generated in a mammal.”

Development of a brain wave model based on the quantitative analysis of EEG and EEG biofeedback therapy in patients with panic attacks during the COVID-19 pandemic. An EEG can be a useful tool to monitor changes of psychotherapy and pharmacological therapy, too. In the QEEG study there was an observation of abnormalities in brainwave frequencies. EEG biofeedback training potentially influences patients to return to their pre-pandemic mental state, which has a positive effect on the return to full mental function. The EEG biofeedback method helps to reduce mood disorders among patients. Research team: Marta Kopańska, Danuta Ochojska, Wiktoria Mytych, Marcin W. Lis & A. Bana?-Z?bczyk
