Neurocognitive ability EEG measurement method and system: Key Neurotech Patent #8

– Illustrative image from U.S. Patent No. 6,434,419 Today we are sharing a 2002 patent assigned to Sam Technology, Inc. U.S. Patent No. 6,434,419: Neurocognitive ability EEG measurement method and system Assignee(s): Sam Technology, Inc. Inventor(s): Alan S. Gevins, Michael E. Smith Technology Category: EEG Issue Date: August 13, 2002 SharpBrains’ Take: The ‘419 patent describes systems with the objective of measuring cognitive ability through EEG signal detection and analysis, such that capabilities can be objectively measured in a manner that does not suffer from drawbacks associated with other cognitive assessment testing approaches that may present prejudicial assessments due to cultural biases and specific knowledge areas associated with the test subject. Moreover, the ‘419 patent recites an objective of measuring cognitive ability as it relates to external factors that may affect cognitive performance for better or worse, for example with cognitive performance after sleep deprivation. The significant EEG research data collected on the impact of cognitive performance under various mental states, such as drunkenness shown in the illustrative image above, and independent claim scope covering the inventive concept relating to objective cognitive testing, are amongst the factors making the ‘419 patent a key non-invasive neurotechnology patent. Abstract: An efficient, objective testing method and system for evaluating mental acuity and changes in mental acuity is ...
