Abstract

An artificially intelligent dual real-time monitoring and measurement device that includes stimulating, recording, transdermal pharmacological delivery electrodes, a differential amplifier, A/D converter, digital filtering, digital signal processor and software for measurement, display and storage of analog data in a personal digital computer monitoring device; the portable biofeedback monitor, can accurately monitor the onset of chemical and/or physical irritation and has visual, audible and vibratory alerts, windows compatible menu driven software, 25 biofeedback displays including bar graphs, power spectra analysis, wave form display and multi-color strobe lights. The most novel attribute of the RT/BIOCAPSIONS biofeedback monitor is that it can be used as a tool to counter terrorism. My invention represents a positive solution to alleviate panic over the threat of biological-chemical-physical terrorism while at the same time offering a mass early medical surveillance & intervention strategy to address the urgent national need for biochemical counter-terrorism strategies. This invention performs determinations and displays expressions of Human BIOCAPSIONS receptive fields and biosensors, analog feature node expression, pattern constant processing, pattern-directed retrieval, connectivity, matching, recognition, variability, classification, pattern-directed modulation, pattern-directed interfacing, stimulus-equivalence reconciliation, bio-feature detection and association and any and all embodiments within the scope of the invention.
