Displaying and Manipulating Brain Function Data Including Enhanced Data Scrolling Functionality
First Claim
1. A method for enabling a user to review brain activity data, comprising the steps of:
- providing brain activity data comprising a plurality of temporal segments, each different temporal segment being defined as a unique annotation, thus providing a plurality of annotations;
enabling a user to request a visual review of the plurality of annotations; and
transforming the brain activity data corresponding to each annotation into a visual display presented to the user in response to the user request, such that a visual display for each different one of the plurality of annotations is sequentially generated and presented to the user, without requiring the user to execute a separate request to review a visual display for each of the plurality of annotations.

Abstract
A user is enabled to request a visual review of a plurality of subsets of aggregate brain activity data, and the data contained in each subset are transformed into a visual display presented to the user. Significantly, rather than requiring the user to separately request a visual display of each selected subset, a visual display for each different subset is automatically sequentially displayed, based upon a single user request. This sequential display is particularly useful where the data from each subset cannot be readily displayed simultaneously. Thus, if twenty subsets are selected by the user from the aggregate brain activity data, then twenty different visual displays will be selectively generated and sequentially displayed in response to a single user request. Such subsets can be defined by annotations, where such annotations are defined by a patient input, an automated review, or an expert review.

13. A computer-readable medium on which are stored machine readable and executable instructions, which when executed by a processor, implement a plurality of functions, including:
-
enabling a user to submit a single request to generate and present a visual display for each of a plurality of annotations, each annotation corresponding to a different temporal segment from a plurality of temporal segments of brain activity data; and transforming the brain activity data for the different temporal selections corresponding to each annotation into a visual display that is sequentially presented to a user in response to the single request to present a visual display for each of a plurality of annotations, such that the user does not need to execute a separate request to cause a visual display to be generated and presented for each annotation.

14. A system for enabling a clinician to review brain activity data, comprising:
-
a viewing device upon which a visual display of a plurality of annotations corresponding to the brain activity data can be displayed; a processor logically coupled to the viewing device; and a memory logically coupled to the processor, the memory storing data and machine readable and executable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause a plurality of functions to be carried out, including; enabling a user to submit a single request to generate and present a visual display for each of the plurality of annotations, each annotation corresponding to a different temporal segment from a plurality of temporal segments of the brain activity data; and transforming the brain activity data for the different temporal selections corresponding to the plurality of annotations into a visual display such that the plurality of annotations are sequentially presented to a user in response to the single request to present a visual display of the plurality of annotations, such that the user does not need to execute a separate request to cause a visual display to be generated and presented for each annotation.

15. A method for enabling a user to review selected brain activity data, comprising the steps of:
-
collecting brain activity data from a patient over an extended period of time, using a brain activity sensor; storing the brain activity data, wherein the brain activity data comprises a plurality of temporal segments; defining a plurality of annotations from the brain activity data, each annotation corresponding to a different temporal segment in the brain activity data; enabling a user to request that a visual display be generated and sequentially presented to the user for each of the plurality of annotations; and transforming the brain activity data for each different temporal segment corresponding to one of the plurality of annotations into a visual display, such that visual displays corresponding to the plurality of annotations are sequentially presented to a user in response to the user request, so that the user does not need to execute a separate request for the generation and presentation of the visual display for each annotation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
