Electromagnetic beam detection system
First Claim
1. A system for detecting an electromagnetic beam comprising:
- an enclosure configured to facilitate visual access for an eye of a body and containing a detecting device comprising at least one electrode configured to produce an output corresponding to an electromagnetic field produced by the body and emanating from the eye of the body;
wherein the detecting device is a non-contacting electrode, wherein the non-contacting electrode detects the electromagnetic field without making substantial contact with a surface of the body;
a processing device configured to receive the output from the detecting device; and
a communication device configured to provide feedback communication corresponding to the output from the detecting device.

Abstract
The present invention provides for a Line of Sight (LOS) electromagnetic beam (EM) detection system configured with an enclosure, a detection device, a processing device, a storage device, and a communication device. The enclosure may or may not be electromagnetically shielded from the surrounding environment. The enclosure may contain one or more detection devices and one or more portals configured for a user to look through. The detection devices may be a non-contacting, active-dry electroencephalogram (EEG) electrode or a high input impedance EEG electrode. The processing device may be a specifically programmed general purpose computer. The communication device may be auditory and/or visual. The storage device may store signals from the detection device for later analysis and statistical manipulation. In some embodiments, the LOS detection system may be used as a switch responding to interaction with a LOS beam emanating from an ocular cavity.
