An apparatus used in a method for generating an ear electroencephalogram (EEG) signal from an ear of a patient includes: a housing; a first electrode provided on a first portion of the housing received within an ear canal of the ear, such that the first electrode is disposed against a first surface of the ear canal to generate a first ear canal signal; a second electrode provided on a second portion of the housing structured to be received within a concha of the ear when the first portion is received within the ear canal, such that the second electrode is disposed against a surface of concha to generate a concha signal; and electronic circuitry provided within the housing, the electronic circuitry being structured and configured to generate a first in ear signal after receiving the first ear canal signal and the concha signal.

Electrode configuration to record ear electroencephalogram (EEG) during sleep and wakefulness

The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for delivering sensory stimulation to a subject for facilitating sleep onset. The system comprises one or more sensors for generating output signals indicating one or more physiological parameters of a subject; a sensory stimulator for delivering sensory stimulation to the subject; and one or more physical processors configured to: determine an initial state of the subject based on the output signals from the sensor, the initial state corresponding to at least one physiological parameter of the subject; determine one or more stimulation parameters of sensory stimulation to be delivered to the subject by the sensory stimulator based on the initial state of the subject; and cause the sensory stimulator to deliver the sensory stimulation to the subject based on the determined one or more stimulation parameters.

Systems and methods for delivering sensory stimulation to facilitate sleep onset

The present disclosure pertains to a system for delivering sensory stimulation to a subject, the system comprising: sensors configured to generate output signals indicating physiological parameters of a subject; a sensory stimulator configured to deliver sensory stimulation to the subject; and processors configured to: determine one or more physiological parameters of the subject; determine a target physiological parameter based on the determined one or more physiological parameters; determine one or more stimulation parameters of sensory stimulation to be delivered to the subject based on the target physiological parameter and the determined one or more physiological parameters; and cause the sensory stimulator to deliver the sensory stimulation to the subject based on the determined one or more stimulation parameters.

Systems and methods for delivering sensory stimulation to facilitate recovery

This disclosure pertains to a system configured to control light exposure for circadian phase management and/or light deficient disorders of a subject. The system comprises a user interface, physiological sensors configured to generate output signals conveying physiological data of the subject, and a light control valve configured to block or reduce blue light ambient radiation reaching eyes of the subject. Processors are in communication with the user interface, the physiological sensors, the light control valve, and radiation generators. The processors cause the system to receive physiological goals of the subject, determine a light control plan based on the physiological goals, the physiological data, environmental data, and time data. The system operates the light control valve to block or reduce blue light ambient radiation based on the light control plan, and generate, using the one or more radiation generators, therapeutic light radiation based on the light control plan.

Controlling light exposure for circadian phase management

The present disclosure pertains to shortening sleep latency during the wake to sleep transition. Sensory stimulation is delivered to a subject by sensory stimulators during a sleep session, and a measure of wakefulness of the subject is determined. The sensory stimulators are controlled based on the measure of wakefulness of the subject. The sensory stimulators may be controlled to modulate an intensity of the sensory stimulation delivered to the subject. For example, the sensory stimulators may decrease the intensity of the sensory stimulation as the measure of wakefulness decreases. The system then determines that the measure of wakefulness has reached stable sleep. The sensory stimulators are controlled based on the determination that the measure of wakefulness has reached stable sleep. The sensory stimulators may decrease the intensity of the sensory stimulation at a faster rate once the measure of wakefulness reaches stable sleep.
