Embodiment Construction

[0032] Description of preferred embodiments

[0033] Referring to Fig. 1, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hair band 10 for detecting the signal sent by the individual's body, such as the individual's head, includes an elastic band member 12, a frontal lobe (or forehead) sensor unit 24 and a For ear sensor units 20, 22 (sensor unit 20 is drawn in dashed lines). The frontal lobe sensor unit 24 is securely attached to the medial surface 13 of the strap member 12 by Lexel, as described below. The ear sensor units 20, 22 are firmly attached to the inner side surface 13 of the strap member 12 as described below. Additionally, both the frontal lobe sensor unit 24 (as shown) and the ear sensor units 20, 22 may be removably attached to the strap member 12, such as with hook and loop type fasteners 14. The webbing member 12 is constructed of any suitable longitudinally stretchable elastic woven material.

[0034] The frontal lobe sensor unit 24 and...

Abstract

A method for determining an individual's intensity of focused attention, comprising the steps of: obtaining a representative frontal lobe brainwave signal from at least one first sensor in an electrically connective relation to the individual's frontal lobe; obtaining a representative reference signal from at least one second sensor in an electrically connective relation to a more electrically-neutral location; subtracting the representative reference signal from the representative frontal lobe brainwave signal to produce a difference frontal lobe brainwave signal, and processing the difference frontal lobe brainwave signal to produce an Attention Indicator signal indicative of the individual's intensity of focused attention, where the Attention Indicator signal is inversely proportional to any mathematical transformation of an amplitude measure of the difference frontal lobe brainwave signal; inputting the Attention Indicator signal to a device; and, repeating these steps, as desired. The mathematical transformation can relate to amplitude, power or any linear, logarithmic or exponential transformation thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention relates to methods of measuring a person's level of concentration, concentration and / or interest by measuring at least one signal that emanates from the person's body, such as from the person's head, and generally from the frontal lobe of the brain. The measurement of the signal is realized. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for determining the degree of concentration of an individual by measuring at least one signal emanating from the individual's body, wherein the signal emanating from the body is also processed and used as a An attention indicator is integrated into a computer program, such as a video game, thereby providing additional input signals. Still more specifically, the present invention relates to a new method of detecting a user's single-pointed focus of attention, interest and / or attention. Background technique [0002] The brain produces electrical signals with a frequency of at le...
