Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for displaying and either inhibiting or promoting selected bioelectrical frequencies emitted by a living organism. The method includes the steps of detecting an analog bioelectrical signal, converting the signal to discrete digital signals representing corresponding frequencies and numerically analyzing the digital signals to determine the different bioelectrical frequencies emitted by the organism. Furthermore, a threshold amplitude associated with a selected digital signal can be established an auditory or visual signal can be sent to the organism to indicate whether the bioelectrical frequency under study is within or outside the threshold amplitude. With this information the organism can be taught to inhibit or facilitate the bioelectrical frequency. The apparatus comprises a pair of electrodes, an analog signal amplifier, an analog to digital converter, a selector to select a frequency of interest, a display monitor, and a computer to distinguish the digital signals as different frequencies, display the frequencies, and determine when the frequency is falling inside or outside a predetermined range. Also, a magnetic medium recording device is used to capture data. Finally, a lighting or sounding circuit is used to tell the organism whether the frequency under study is being inhibited or facilitated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assisting a user (10) to control a device (55) in response to a combination of electroencephalographic and electromyographic potentials created by the user (10). The user selects a number of reference frequencies in a range of from 0.5 Hz to 45 Hz defining a like number of control signals (figure 6). A digital lock-in amplifier (31, 32, figure 4) is used with a moving average time window filter to produce control signals which are presented to the user. Control system responsiveness is controlled by adjusting the lengths of the moving average time windows. A phase-locked loop (31, 34, figure 5) is closed around each control signal and is used to track the shifting frequencies of the control signals. The user (10) is able to sense and control changes in the magnitude and frequency of the control signals (figure 6) in the control of the device (55). By sensing the changes in the magnitude and frequency of the control signals, the user is able to learn a combination of mental and/or physical activities for which changes in the electroencephalographic and electromyographic biopotentials are correlated to control of the device.

Abstract: A method for treating an individual by use of electroencephalographic feedback includes selecting a reference site for determining a brain wave frequency of the individual and, using a device (10), entraining the brain wave frequency of the individual in one direction until a first predetermined stop condition occurs. The brain wave frequency is then entrained in the opposite direction until a second predetermined stop condition occurs. A method for assessing the flexibility of an individual with respect to treatment by electroencephalographic entrainment feedback includes selecting sites for determining brain wave frequencies of the individual, choosing one of the sites which has not been previously used for entrainment, entraining the brain wave frequency of the individual at the chosen site in one direction until a first predetermined stop condition occurs, and then repeating the steps beginning with choosing a site until all sites have been tested.

Abstract: A testing method and system for testing the mental performance capability of a human subject includes a digital computer work station (14) which presents a test to the subject (10), such as visumotor memory task. Simultaneously, a physiological sensing and amplification device (11) amplifies and analyzes the subject's brain waves, eye activity, scalp and facial muscle activity, heart activity, respiration and/or skin conductance. The subject's test scores and physiological activity are compared by the work station,with previously collected normative measurements for that subject to determine if the test was passed with a passing score, and, if so, whether the subject, in order to pass the test, exceeded a standard based upon the subject's normal mental effort in taking the same or similar testing.
