Description

Field of the invention:

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation, which is particularly intended to accelerate the acquisition of skills and the development of muscle memory in athletes. Background of the invention:

[0002] Sports training often involves repeated practice to master a specific skill. This can be time-consuming and physically demanding. Traditional methods for improving skill acquisition and muscle memory rely on extensive practice and the natural adaptation of neural pathways. However, recent findings in neuroscience suggest that neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial ultrasound stimulation can significantly accelerate this process by directly influencing brain plasticity and neural synchronization. Ultrasound-based neuromodulation is considered a non-invasive, targeted approach that can modulate brain activity with high spatial precision, making it suitable for improving motor skills and muscle memory in athletes.

[0003] In the field of sports training and rehabilitation, there is growing interest in neuromodulation technologies to improve skill acquisition and muscle memory formation in athletes. Conventional training methods often rely on repetitive practice and physical exercises to develop motor skills and improve performance. However, these methods can be time-consuming and physically demanding, requiring long periods of practice to achieve the desired proficiency. Therefore, researchers and practitioners are seeking alternative approaches that can accelerate the learning process and optimize training effectiveness. Neuromodulation, which involves the targeted stimulation of specific brain regions to modulate neural activity, has emerged as a promising technique for improving motor learning and skill development.

[0004] One of the existing solutions in the field of neuromodulation is transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive method that applies a weak electrical current to the scalp to modulate neuronal excitability. Studies have shown that tDCS can enhance motor learning and skill acquisition by altering the cortical excitability of the motor cortex, a brain region critically involved in the planning and execution of voluntary movements. Although tDCS has shown some potential for improving motor skills, its effectiveness is limited by its low spatial resolution and lack of precise targeting capabilities. The electrical current generated by tDCS can spread over a wide area of ​​the brain, thus leading to inadvertent stimulation of non-targeted regions.This lack of specificity can lead to suboptimal modulation of the intended neural circuits, potentially reducing the overall effectiveness of the intervention. Furthermore, tDCS is limited by its inability to penetrate deeper brain regions such as the basal ganglia and cerebellum, which play an essential role in motor learning and coordination.

[0005] Another neuromodulation technique that has gained attention in recent years is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS uses a magnetic coil placed on the scalp to generate magnetic fields that induce electrical currents in the brain, thus stimulating cortical neurons. TMS is used to modulate brain activity in various applications, including motor rehabilitation, depression treatment, and cognitive enhancement. In athletic training, TMS has been investigated as a means of enhancing motor learning and skill acquisition by targeting the motor cortex and other brain regions involved in movement control. Like tDCS, TMS is limited by its limited spatial resolution and inability to precisely target deeper brain structures.The magnetic fields generated by TMS are primarily limited to superficial cortical layers, making it difficult to effectively stimulate deeper neural circuits. Furthermore, TMS can be uncomfortable for some individuals, as the rapid magnetic pulses can cause muscle contractions and scalp discomfort, limiting its usability in sports training situations where prolonged application is required.

[0006] Along with tDCS and TMS, transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) has emerged as a new neuromodulation approach with the potential to overcome some of the limitations of existing techniques. TUS uses focused ultrasound waves to modulate neural activity in specific brain regions. This is a non-invasive method with high spatial resolution and the ability to penetrate deeper brain structures. Unlike electrical or magnetic stimulation methods, TUS can be precisely focused on small areas of the brain, enabling targeted modulation of neural circuits involved in motor control and learning. This capability makes TUS particularly well-suited for applications in athletic training, where precise stimulation of specific brain regions can enhance motor learning and muscle memory formation.Despite its potential benefits, TUS technology is still in its early stages of development and several challenges remain to be addressed.

[0007] One of the major challenges with TUS is the need for precise alignment and control of ultrasound waves to avoid inadvertent stimulation of untargeted brain regions. The complexity of the human brain, with its intricate network of neurons and neural circuits, requires a high degree of precision in the delivery of ultrasound waves to ensure the desired neuromodulation effects are achieved. Furthermore, the safety and long-term effects of repeated ultrasound stimulation on brain tissue are not yet fully understood, so further research is needed to establish optimal parameters for safe and effective use in sports training applications. Another limitation of existing TUS systems is the lack of real-time feedback mechanisms to monitor stimulation effects and adjust parameters accordingly.Most current TUS devices are based on preset stimulation protocols that may not account for individual variability in brain structure and function, potentially reducing the effectiveness of the intervention.

[0008] In addition to neuromodulation techniques, several other technologies have been explored to enhance skill acquisition and muscle memory formation in athletes. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems have been developed to provide immersive training environments that simulate real-world scenarios, allowing athletes to practice and refine their skills in a controlled environment. While VR and AR technologies offer valuable tools for cognitive and motor training, they primarily focus on enhancing the perceptual and cognitive aspects of skill acquisition rather than directly modulating the underlying neural circuits involved in motor control.Therefore, their effectiveness in accelerating the acquisition of complex motor skills may be limited compared to neuromodulation techniques that directly target the brain's motor pathways.

[0009] Given the above points, there remains a significant need for a solution that combines the precision, safety and efficacy of neuromodulation with real-time feedback and adaptive control to enhance skill acquisition and muscle memory formation in athletes. Summary of the invention:

[0010] The present invention relates to a transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation device designed to accelerate skill acquisition and muscle memory formation in athletes. The device comprises a head-mounted ultrasound emitter array, a control unit, a biofeedback sensor module, a real-time monitoring system, and a user interface. The ultrasound emitter array is designed to transmit focused ultrasound waves to specific cortical and subcortical brain regions associated with motor learning and coordination. The control unit dynamically adjusts the frequency, intensity, and focus of the ultrasound waves based on real-time feedback received from the biofeedback sensor module, which monitors the athlete's neural activity and physiological responses.The real-time monitoring system provides continuous data visualization and analysis, enabling precise modulation of neuromodulation parameters to optimize training results. The user interface allows the athlete or coach to set training goals, adjust settings, and review progress.

[0011] The primary objective of the invention is to provide a transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation device that enhances skill acquisition and muscle memory formation in athletes. This device aims to use ultrasound technology to non-invasively stimulate specific brain regions associated with motor learning and coordination, thus accelerating the natural learning processes associated with acquiring new skills. Another objective of the invention is to provide a precise and targeted neuromodulation approach by utilizing a head-mounted ultrasound transmitter array that delivers focused ultrasound waves to the motor cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia, and other key brain areas involved in motor control.This enables improved neural plasticity and synchronization, facilitating faster and more efficient skill development and retention of muscle memory.

[0012] Another objective of the invention is the integration of a control unit that can dynamically adjust ultrasound parameters in real time based on feedback from a biofeedback sensor module. The biofeedback sensor module, which includes EEG, fNIRS, and EMG sensors, continuously monitors the athlete's neural activity and physiological responses during training, providing data that allows the control unit to fine-tune the ultrasound stimulation to optimize neuromodulation results. In this way, the device not only improves training effectiveness but also ensures user safety and comfort by preventing overstimulation or unwanted side effects.

[0013] Furthermore, the invention provides a real-time monitoring system and user interface that are intuitive and user-friendly, allowing athletes and coaches to set training goals, select appropriate neuromodulation protocols, and effortlessly adjust ultrasound settings. This system enables real-time visualization and analysis of neural and physiological data, providing valuable insights into the athlete's performance and progress. The device also incorporates long-term data recording capabilities to track skill adaptation and improvement over time. Overall, the invention aims to create a synergistic tool that complements traditional training methods, significantly reducing the time and effort required for athletes to learn new skills and improving their overall performance.
