Methods for physiological monitoring training, exercise and regulation
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- (a) taking fMRI activity measurements of at least one localized region of a brain of a subject who is inside a fMRI scanner;
(b) communicating a representation of said activity measurements to said subject using a computer executable logic; and
(c) training said subject while inside said fMRI scanner to use said representation of said activity measurements to control said activity, wherein said representation is communicated in the form of presenting a display of said subject'"'"'s level of success in modulating said activity in said brain to said subject.

Abstract
Computer executable software and device for guiding brain activity training comprising: logic which takes data corresponding to activity measurements of one or more internal voxels of a brain and determines one or more members of the group consisting of: a) what next stimulus to communicate to the subject, b) what next behavior to instruct the subject to perform, c) when a subject is to be exposed to a next stimulus, d) when the subject is to perform a next behavior, e) one or more activity metrics computed from the measured activity, f) a spatial pattern computed from the measured activity, g) a location of a region of interest computed from the measured activity, h) performance targets that a subject is to achieve computed from the measured activity, i) a performance measure of a subject'"'"'s success computed from the measured activity, j) a subject'"'"'s position relative to an activity measurement instrument; and logic for communicating information based on the determinations to the subject in substantially real time relative to when the activity is measured.

30. A method comprising:
-
(a) taking fMRI activity measurements of at least one localized region of a brain of a subject who is inside a fMRI scanner, wherein said fMRI activity measurement include real time motion correction; (b) communicating information about changes in said level of said activity to said subject using a computer executable logic; and (c) training said subject while inside said fMRI scanner to use said information about changes in said level of said activity to control said activity. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
