Biosignetics Believes it Can Help in Terry Schiavo Case by Analyzing Brain Waves

March 26 2005 Biosignetics is a biomedical startup company located in Exeter New Hampshire httpwwwbsigneticscomnewshtm Just a year ago we had invented and introduced new research methodology to analyze biomedical signals including the brain waves It is currently patent pending says Dr V Polyshchuk of Biosignetics We can analyze dynamic biomedical signals such as brainwaves or heart sounds can extract a lot of useful information about patient medical conditions he added Company had been semifinalist of the prestigious Advanced Technology Program competition managed by NIST and funded by US Congress Recently company was featured in the New Hampshire Life Sciences Magazine and at wwwnhbiotechcom Its research was originated and inspired from work conducted in early and mid 90s for the benefits of helicopter health monitoring It was recently extended to study heart murmurs cardiac auscultation and cortical brain wave responces httpwwwbsigneticscomBrain20Printinghtm Biosignetics researchers were able to clearly differentiate agitated brain state from the calm brain state To conduct such an analysis EEC cortical brain waves must be collected and digitized EEC recordings are routinely collected from patients in many hospitals and outpatient neuro facilities Company researchers were also able to clearly differentiate baby cry sounds as baby agitation state is building up Recently another researcher had introduced a concept of brain fingerprinting It is based on the fact that brain immediately responds to visual images it sees with so called P300 waves Usually brain operates on the narrow band of frequencies between 5 to 15Hz We believe we may have the technology to objectively clearly and visually differentiate Terri Schiavo's state by analyzing her brainwaves indicated Dr V Kudriavtsev Even subtle changes in brain patterns can be detected using Brain Energy Signature methodology and brain pattern responces can also be quantified This in time may even lead to a primitive thought translator P300 brain wave patterns will change in response to positivenegative actions and we may be able to quantify these responses precisely Judge Greer and Michael Schiavo can use this new technology to estimate current Terry Schiavos brain status More research will be required in this area with respect to persistent vegetative state or minimal awareness state and company scientists are looking for neuroscientists to jointly collaborate in this research effort Other methods that may help to quantify Terris brain state may be based on Aspect Medical Systems Bispectral Index that is now used in anesthesia care httpwwwaspectmscomassetsDocumentspdfbibliography0850036ComprehensiveBISBibMarch04pdf
