Brain-based processing skill enhancement
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for enhancing a skill of an individual, comprising:
- determining a baseline performance level of the individual;
presenting first complex stimuli to the individual;
measuring the individual'"'"'s reactions to the first stimuli and determining a second performance level;
presenting second complex stimuli that may be the same or different from the first complex stimuli based upon the individual'"'"'s reactions.

Abstract
Skill enhancement tool for assessing and improving an individual'"'"'s performance in multiple domains including processing of complex audio, visual and tactile perceptual inputs, operation of complex controls via manipulation, enacting complex motor sequences and complex cognitive tasks. The invention presents complex stimuli to an individual, monitors his or her reactions to the stimuli, and, in response to the user'"'"'s reactions, changes the future stimuli to be presented in such a way as to alter the user'"'"'s brain entrainment patterns to elicit improvement.

25. A method for enhancing skills of a first group of subjects, comprising:
-
determining baseline performance levels of the subjects;
presenting first complex stimuli to the subjects;
measuring the subjects reactions to the first stimuli;
ranking the subjects based upon performance level achieved, determining second stimuli that were used by those subjects who achieved highest performance levels;
applying the second stimuli to subjects. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)

28. A method for enhancing skills of a first group of subjects, comprising:
-
determining baseline performance levels of the subjects;
presenting first complex stimuli to the subjects;
measuring the subjects reactions to the first stimuli;
ranking the subjects based on the number of trials needed to needed to achieve some (predetermined) criterion performance level, based upon performance level achieved, determining second stimuli that were used by those subjects who achieved the predetermined performance level with the fewest number of trials needed;
applying the second stimuli to subjects. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)

31. A method for enhancing skills of a first group of subjects, comprising:
-
determining baseline performance levels of the subjects;
presenting multiple stimuli the subjects;
measuring the subjects reactions to the multiple stimuli;
ranking the stimuli based on the number of times each stimulus occurred immediately before an improvement was measured;
determining further stimuli based on the ranking of stimuli that most often induced enhanced performance;
applying the identified further stimuli to subjects. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A method for rank ordering subjects, comprising:
-
presenting multiple stimuli to a first group of subjects;
measuring the subjects reactions to the multiple stimuli;
ranking the stimuli based on the number of times each stimulus occurred immediately before an improvement was measured;
determining identified stimuli based on the ranking of stimuli that most often induced enhanced performance;
testing the performance of a second group of subjects using the identified stimuli; and
ranking the subjects based on their respective performances. - View Dependent Claims (37)

38. A method for rank ordering subjects comprising:
-
subjecting multiple subjects to stimuli and testing their respective performance;
identifying a fixed sequential set of stimuli which resulted in the best performance;
presenting the fixed, sequential set of stimuli to subjects to be ranked; and
ranking the subjects according to the fewest trials required before achieving a criterion performance level. - View Dependent Claims (39)
