SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING ATTENTION DISORDER, EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION, AND IMPULSIVE DYSREGULATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240245334 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING ATTENTION DISORDER, EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION, AND IMPULSIVE DYSREGULATION

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a method for diagnosing attention disorder by using audio stimulations and startle responses.

  • The method involves providing a continuous background noise to the user.
  • A first audio stimulation with a single sound in a known intensity is provided to the user to detect a startle response.
  • A second audio stimulation with two sounds, one in a higher intensity than the background noise, is provided to detect another startle response.
  • The diagnosis of an attention disorder is based on the inhibition between the two startle responses.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Diagnosing attention disorder based on startle responses to audio stimulations.
  • Using background noise and varying sound intensities to elicit startle responses.
  • Providing a non-invasive and objective method for diagnosing attention disorders.

Potential Applications:

This technology can be used in clinical settings for diagnosing attention disorders in individuals of all ages.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a more objective and standardized method for diagnosing attention disorders.
  • Eliminates the need for subjective assessments in diagnosing attention disorders.

Benefits:

  • Early detection and diagnosis of attention disorders.
  • Non-invasive and objective method for assessing attention disorders.
  • Standardized approach for diagnosing attention disorders.

Commercial Applications:

Potential commercial applications include medical devices for diagnosing attention disorders, software for analyzing startle responses, and tools for monitoring attention disorders in clinical settings.

Prior Art:

Readers can explore prior research on startle responses and attention disorders in psychology and neuroscience literature.

Frequently Updated Research:

Stay updated on the latest studies on startle responses and attention disorders in psychology and neuroscience journals.

Questions about Diagnosing Attention Disorder:

1. How does the method in this patent application differ from traditional methods of diagnosing attention disorders?

  - The method in this patent application uses audio stimulations and startle responses to diagnose attention disorders objectively, while traditional methods may rely on subjective assessments.

2. What are the potential implications of using startle responses for diagnosing attention disorders?

  - Using startle responses can provide a more standardized and reliable method for diagnosing attention disorders, leading to early detection and intervention.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for diagnosing attention disorder is disclosed. the method comprising: providing to a user a predetermined continuous background noise; providing to the user, a first audio stimulation comprising a single sound in a first known intensity; detecting a first startle response; providing to the user, a second audio stimulation comprising two sounds, a first sound in a second intensity and a second sound having the first intensity, wherein the second intensity is selected to be higher than the background noise in an amount that allows the first sound to be noticed by the user; detecting a second startle response; diagnosing an attention disorder is based on the inhibition between the second startle response and the first startle response and sending a signal comprising the diagnosis to an external computing device.
