Devices, systems and methods to modify memory and/or cognitive function by delivering a sensory stimulus paired with learned material at opportune physiological periods during sleep. Described herein are systems, methods and devices to enhance a user's cognitive function in memorization and learning. A machine (e.g., a system or device) may be used to identify opportune periods of the sleep cycle and to deliver a stimulus during specific phases of the sleep cycle to facilitate or interrupt memory consolidation. The machine may record ambient sensory inputs during awake acquisition or reinforcement/relearning and replay all or an extracted form of the ambient sensory stimuli during a specified portion of the user's sleep. A stimulus may be delivered to a user to affect brain activity during sleep to modulate the phase of a user's sleep, quality of sleep, and/or quality or intensity of brain rhythms during a particular phase of sleep.

The invention relates to a graphics processing unit based matrix transpose optimization method. The method includes: converting an R-line S-column input matrix into a one-dimensional array, allocating storage spaces and copying data; setting a two-dimensional index space; computing global identifiers, workgroup identifiers and local identifies of work items; partitioning the matrix, and corresponding matrix partitions to workgroups; applying for local memories in the workgroups, copying the data into the local memories and synchronously waiting for completion of data copying; computing column and line indexes of the transposed data in a global memory; computing locations of output data in the global memory and local memories; assigning the data of the local memories to the one-dimensional array in the global memory to realize conflict-free memory consolidation access; and copying the one-dimensional array to the memories to form an S-line R-column superposed matrix. By the method, parallel computation of consolidation access and matrix transpose is realized, and execution efficiency of programs is improved.

The invention provides a learning scene processing method and device, and the method comprises the steps: displaying a learning scene interface which comprises a plurality of virtual objects, and enabling the position relationship and size of the virtual objects in the learning scene interface to simulate the layout of a real scene; receiving a selection operation on the learning scene interface,determining a virtual object selected by the selection operation in the learning scene interface, and determining the virtual object as a target object; and obtaining learning resources of the targetobject, and displaying a learning interface corresponding to the learning resources. Due to the fact that the learning scene simulates the layout of a real scene, the combination of learning and the scene is achieved, the association between learning and the scene is enhanced, learning gamification and memory consolidation can be achieved at the same time, learning interest is stimulated, and thelearning effect is improved. Especially for learning of English words of children, real scenes, gamification learning and teaching through lively activities, the learning effect of the English words can be improved for the children.

The invention discloses a method and a terminal for assisting users in new word consolidation before and after reading. The method for assisting users in new word consolidation before and after reading includes that the terminal receives input signals for starting text reading or stopping text reading, acquires new word storage information from a new word storage database of a local memory, determines whether starting a new word consolidation function according to the new word storage information, starts the new word consolidation function and provides a new word learning interface when needing to start the new word consolidation function, wherein the new word storage information comprises new words to be consolidated; the terminal acquires corresponding new word learning data from a new word learning database and displays on a new word learning interface. A user can select to learn and consolidate the new words inquired when reading before and after reading so as to assist the user in deepening the memory and improve the word recognition and learning efficiency of the user.

Described is a system to accelerate memory consolidation using a steerable transcranial intervention. During operation, the system generates a unique transcranial and steerable stimulation tag to associate with memory of a task or event. Once the tag is generated, the system activates a plurality of electrodes (e.g., as few as four) to apply the unique transcranial stimulation tag during the occurrence of the event or task to be consolidated.

Described is a system for decoding and validating memory consolidation. During operation, the system receives electroencephalographic (EEG) data while a subject is performing a specific task. Nuisance signals are then removed from the EEG data, resulting in a nuisance free signal. Skill feature vectors are generated from the nuisance free signal using time-invariant feature extraction. A skill classifier can then be trained for the specific task based on the skill feature vectors to generate a subject specific model regarding a memory replay for the specific task. Finally, electrodes in a neural cap are activated based on the memory replay.

Impairments in memory consolidation are treated with an amphetamine compound. In one embodiment, the method includes administering an l-amphetamine compound. In another embodiment, the method includes administering an l-methamphetamine compound. The method can include determining memory consolidation before, during and/or after administering the amphetamine compound.
