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...

Techniques for Measuring Atypical Neurodevelopment in Neonates Based on Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Tests
­​ Comparison of ABR signatures from neonates who showed typical (blue) or delayed and narrow, atypical (red) later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Invention Summary: Neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy and autism are primarily diagnosed through identification of key behaviors and symptoms. To do this, features...

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...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids
The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...

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...
