Standardized Individual Pain Assessment Tool
A pipeline for utilizing facial, motor, and cardiac signals to measure an individual’s pain threshold
Invention Summary:
Self‐reporting of a person’s subjective level of pain is highly variable. This is due to individual differences in the way human beings experience pain. At present, no objective physiological scale of pain exists...

Dynamic Neurodevelopmental-Growth Chart of Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems
Method for data acquisition and assessments of neuromotor control development using brief video recordings.
Invention Summary:
Diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders relies on clinical tests that depend on observation of a set of behavioral benchmarks that are then mapped to a scale. These scales are not standardized for anatomical...

Novel Quantitative & Objective Analytical Tool for Detecting Neurodevelopmental Delays in Infants
Invention Summary:
Neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. autism) are on the rise. They are the byproduct of a lengthy maturation process that starts at conception and manifests disarray with high certainty during infancy, when dysfunction of the child’s nervous systems becomes apparent to the naked eye. By three years of age, observational diagnoses...

Novel Quantitative Analytical Tool for Assessing Neurological Functions in Human Subjects
Tracking statistical signals from both mental and physical activities
Invention Summary:
Cognitive Neuroscience research uses cortical-related activity to infer various functional and anatomical aspects of the brain. However, this is done in a rather disembodied way, discounting the feedback from bodily biorhythms. In contrast, fields like Behavioral...

A Novel Method for Diagnosing and Monitoring Brain Trauma Patients
A schematic illustrating brain trauma
Invention Summary:
Brain trauma encompasses both traumatic brain injury — an external penetrating or non-penetrating force to the skull that results in brain damage and swelling — and trauma associated with disease states such as brain tumors, stroke, seizures, and infections. Initial brain trauma...
