Methods for physiological monitoring, training, exercise and regulation
First Claim
1. A computer assisted method comprising:
- measuring activity of one or more internal voxels of a brain;
employing computer executable logic that takes the measured brain activity and determines one or more members of the group consisting of;
a) what next stimulus to communicate to the subject, b) what next behavior to instruct the subject to perform, c) when a subject is to be exposed to a next stimulus, d) when the subject is to perform a next behavior, e) one or more activity metrics computed from the measured activity, f) a spatial pattern computed from the measured activity, g) a location of a region of interest computed from the measured activity, h) performance targets that a subject is to achieve computed from the measured activity, i) a performance measure of a subject'"'"'s success computed from the measured activity, j) a subject'"'"'s position relative to an activity measurement instrument; and
communicating information based on the determinations to the subject in substantially real time relative to when the activity is measured.

25. A method comprising:
-
(a) measuring activity of one or more internal voxels of a brain;
(b) communicating instructions to a subject derived from that measured activity in substantially real time relative to when the behavior is performed; and
(c) having the subject perform a behavior in response to receiving the instructions.

31. Computer executable software, the software comprising:
-
logic for taking activity measurements of one or more localized brain regions as a behavior is performed; and
logic for communicating information to the subject based on the measured brain activity in substantially real time relative to when the behavior is performed;
wherein the logic takes new activity measurements as they are received and communicates new information based on the new activity measurements.
