Abstract

A wireless system of independent CPU pods for initiating, collecting, and optionally processing, absolute and/or relative response data of biological systems to stimulus and then using wireless means to transmit the data to a plurality of external communications (e.g. human interface device) via a bridge pod. The system is set up to perform a plurality of sequences of stimulus and then response measurement according to programming through the wireless network which can be changed on each CPU pod via re-programming at any time to create new configurations and metrics. The sequences may execute on each CPU pod(s) and CPU bridge pod (s) autonomously or the programing can create a plurality of different interrelated sequences depending on system objectives. A plurality of sensors and stimulate devices are connected or integrated to the CPU pods according to the purposes of the programmed stimulate response sequences. This system is beneficial for getting stimulus-response data for any biological activity in a relative of independant response manner making it quite general. Thus, interrelated reactions of any number of biological systems relative to each other can be measured, processed and communicated to any desired device for further processing or display. Thus, either individual performance or entire teams relative performance can be tracked to improve performance in a plurality of ways in a plurality of sports, military, etc. exercises.

Claims

1. A relative response system including reprogramming capability for autonomous or interrelated stimulus and sensor systems for measuring biological response data relative to either an absolute reference and/or relative to other biological response for collecting, and optionally processing, stimulus-response data of biological systems, comprising:

a wireless network, for providing data transmission between cpu pod(s) and cpu bridge pod(s) and also, when needed, a transmission path for software reprogramming of cpu pod(s) and cpu bridge pod(s);

an integrated wireless negotiation and microprocessor, power source, independently programmable and reprogrammable at any time cpu pod, for executing sequences of stimulus-response according to changeable programming either synchronously or asynchronously and with autonomous or interrelated behavior with other response sensors, other cpu pod(s) or other cpu bridge pod(s) and communicating on the wireless network;

a cpu bridge pod, for communication connection from wireless network to the external communication path as well as perform all functions that a cpu pod performs, wirelessly connected to said CPU pod;

an external communication path, for download and upload of programming and/or data between the cpu bridge pod and a plurality of external communications (e.g. network, computer, human, etc), electrically connected to said CPU bridge pod;

a stimulus response sequence, for software coded instructions for executing a plurality independent and/or interrelated stimulus-response actions for an individual biological system or a group of biological systems in order to measure a plurality of biological response data relative to an absolute reference and/or a reference of one response sensor relative to another;

a stimulate device, for stimulating any aspect of a biological system including anything a biological system can sense voluntarily or involuntarily, electrically connected to said CPU pod; and

a response sensor, for sensing any aspect of a biological system, electrically connected to said CPU pod.
