Abstract

A system and a process are provided for evaluating subliminal pixel patterns and identifying trigger patterns, which are pixel patterns that trigger a response in subjects exposed to the pattern. Each pixel pattern is embedded in a digital video or a digital still image. Pixel patterns that are found to induce reactions in subjects are identified as trigger patterns and are flagged for re-testing. Re-tested trigger patterns that repeatably induce reactions are identified as positive trigger patterns and are studied further. Variations are made to a positive trigger pattern to determine whether small changes can affect how a subject responds when exposed to that positive trigger pattern. A positive trigger pattern is evaluated to determine whether it can induce an emotional, a physical, and/or a behavioral change in the subjects and, if so, the positive trigger pattern is applied to a real-world situation.

Core Innovation

The invention provides visual stimuli to trigger brain activity in a user by displaying one or more images that comprise one or more trigger patterns adapted to induce the brain activity. The trigger patterns are produced from test images comprising test patterns and are incorporated into one or more base images to form the one or more images for later display. The system includes a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform these operations using an electronic display.

During production of the trigger patterns, the processor displays test images to one or more viewers while monitoring physiological characteristics of the viewers. The processor determines, based at least in part on the monitoring, physiological changes in the viewers induced by the test patterns during the displaying of the test images. The processor selects one or more of the test patterns as the trigger patterns based at least in part on the determining of the physiological changes in the viewers.

After selecting the trigger patterns, the processor incorporates the selected trigger patterns into one or more base images to form one or more images. The resulting images comprise one or more trigger patterns and are displayable to a user using an electronic display. The trigger patterns in the resulting images are adapted to induce the brain activity in the user.

Claims Coverage

The partial content identifies two independent claims directed to a system and a method for generating and displaying trigger-pattern images adapted to induce brain activity.

The claims cover the sequence of displaying test images with test patterns, monitoring physiological characteristics, determining physiological changes induced by the test patterns, selecting trigger patterns based on those physiological changes, and incorporating the selected trigger patterns into base images for electronic-display presentation.
