Biosignetics Believes it Can Help in Terry Schiavo Case by Analyzing Brain Waves
Biosignetics is a new science of analyzing dynamic biometric signals. We can process Energy Signature patterns of Terri Schiavo’s cortical brain waves and to objectively gauge her brain signal responses. Our current research is focused on Brainwave Analysis, Heart Murmurs and Heart Sounds.
(PRWEB) March 26, 2005 -- Biosignetics is a biomedical startup company
located in Exeter, New Hampshire. http://www.bsignetics.com/news.htm
"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 semi-finalist 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 www.nhbiotech.com 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. http://www.bsignetics.com/Brain%20Printing.htm

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 positive-negative 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 Schiavo's 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 Terri's brain state may be based on Aspect
Medical Systems Bispectral Index that is now used in anesthesia care. http://www.aspectms.com/assets/Documents/pdf/bibliography/085-0036-ComprehensiveBISBibMarch04.pdf
