Methods for user control of neurostimulation to modify a cognitive state
First Claim
1. A method of modifying a user'"'"'s cognitive state using a neurostimulator worn on the user'"'"'s body, the method comprising:
- allowing the user to select a waveform ensemble from a plurality of different waveform ensembles on a user device, wherein each waveform ensemble comprises a set of waveform parameters specifying current intensity, frequency, and duty cycle;
transmitting the selected waveform ensemble, an identifier of the selected waveform ensemble, or the set of waveform parameters corresponding to the selected waveform ensemble to the neurostimulator for application of the selected waveform ensemble by the neurostimulator worn on the user;
displaying on the user device, a representation of an intensity of the selected waveform ensemble over a duration of application of the selected waveform ensemble and a display of a user-adjusted intensity relative to the intensity of the selected waveform ensemble; and
allowing the user to adjust the intensity of the selected waveform ensemble with the user device during application of the selected waveform ensemble.

Abstract
Methods for allowing a user to control a neuromodulator to modify a cognitive state being experienced by the user. The user may select a waveform ensemble from a hand-held user device having an interface, and the user may adjust the perceived intensity of the applied waveform ensemble with the user device while the waveform ensemble is being applied. Also described are methods of managing communication between the hand-held user device (such as a smartphone or the like) and a wearable neurostimulator. Methods of displaying and visually tracking and controlling the applied waveform ensemble are also described herein.
