Abstract

The invention is an apparatus and method that measures expanded frequencies of electromagnetic activity in a user'"'"'s brain and heart. The apparatus includes a computer, a display screen, a software program for rapid measurement and digital display of the users electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies above about 500 Hz, a plurality of EEG sensors and an EKG sensor that are connected to the computer.

Claims

1. An apparatus for measuring electromagnetic activity in a user'"'"'s brain and heart comprising:

a computer;

a display screen;

a software program for rapid measurement and digital display of the user'"'"'s electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies above about 500 Hz;

a plurality of EEG sensors;

an EKG sensor; and

said plurality of EEG sensors and said EKG sensor connected to said computer.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising an integrated carrying case for storing said EEG sensors and said EKG sensor.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising an all-in one carrying case for said computer and said sensors.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a headset having said plurality of EEG sensors disposed on said headset.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the user'"'"'s electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies are measured and displayed between about 500 and about 1000 Hz.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said apparatus is portable.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said computer comprises a laptop.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said computer comprises a tablet.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said plurality of EEG sensors and said EKG sensor are connected to said computer via a peripheral USB device.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said plurality of EEG sensors and said EKG sensor are connected to said computer wirelessly.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said software program continuously measures the user'"'"'s electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies for biofeedback.

12. A method for measuring electromagnetic activity in a user'"'"'s brain and heart comprising:

placing a plurality of EEG sensors on a user'"'"'s head;

placing an EKG sensor on the user'"'"'s chest;

transmitting a plurality of EEG signals to a computer server;

transmitting an EKG signal to the computer server;

measuring the user'"'"'s electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies above about 500 Hz; and

displaying the user'"'"'s electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies on a display screen.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the measuring of the user'"'"'s electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies above about 500 Hz is performed in real-time.

14. The method of claim 12 further comprising integrating the heart electromagnetic signal with the brain electromagnetic signal.

15. The method of claim 12 further comprising detecting an abnormal pattern in either the heart electromagnetic signal or the brain electromagnetic signal.

16. The method of claim 12 wherein the EEG signals and the EKG signal is transmitted to a computer.

17. The method of claim 12 wherein the EEG signals and the EKG signal is transmitted over the Internet to the computer server.

18. The method of claim 12 further comprising tracking the user'"'"'s electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies above about 500 Hz.

19. The method of claim 12 wherein the user'"'"'s electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies are measured between about 500 and about 1000 Hz.

20. The method of claim 12 comprising continuously measuring the user'"'"'s electromagnetic brain and heart frequencies above about 500 Hz for providing biofeedback.
