Functional brain imaging for detecting and assessing deception and concealed recognition, and cognitive/emotional response to information
InactiveUS20050154290A1Reduce the valueLower Reliability RequirementsData processing applicationsAnalysis using nuclear magnetic resonanceTarget populationFunctional Brain Imaging
This invention provides method and system for measuring changes in the brain activity of an individual by functional brain imaging methods for investigative purposes, e.g., detecting and assessing whether an individual is being truthful or deceptive, and / or whether an individual has a prior knowledge of a certain face or object. The invention combines recent progress in medical brain imaging, computing and neuroscience to produce an accurate and objective method of detection of deception and concealed prior knowledge based on an automated analysis of the direct measurements of brain activity. Applying the paradigm developed from the deception model, and applying it to an individual viewing media information (e.g., audiovisual messages or movies, or announcements), the data is used to interpret the effect of the information on that individual. This permits the effective manipulation of the content of the media segments to achieve maximal desired impact in target populations or on specific individuals.

Process and system for targeting of content to segmented customer base
A method and system for targeted in-store advertising content is disclosed. In order to improve the success of advertising content on a group of customers, the present invention monitors and records items as they are purchased from the store. These records generate data that is used to categorize customers into defined segments. Segments are matched to pre-defined profiles, which describe certain demographic characteristics common to customers in a particular segment. Advertisers can create advertising campaigns directed to these profiles, and when a certain number of matching segments appear within a certain amount of time within the store, the present invention will display the matching media content. The present invention tracks segment frequency, and applies a weighted T-distribution analysis to determine the likelihood of certain frequencies of segments appearing at a certain time. The present invention also tracks the number of times certain media content has been displayed within a certain amount of time to prevent content overexposure. Use of the present invention's data will help advertisers by introducing a pay for performance model where advertisers pay to deliver content to their target demographic, and by providing information on whether or not an advertising campaign was successful.

Β-turn peptidomimetic cyclic compounds
InactiveUS6881719B2Easy to manageReduce deliveryOrganic active ingredientsTetrapeptide ingredientsDiseaseNeurotrophin Receptor p75
Proteolytically stable small molecule β-turn peptidomimetic compounds have been identified as agonists or antagonists of neurotrophin receptors, such as TrkA. A compound of particular interest binds the immunoglobulin-like C2 region of the extracellular domain of TrkA, competes the binding of another TrkA ligand, affords selective trophic protection to TrkA-expressing cell lines and neuronal primary cultures, and induces the differentiation of primary neuronal cultures. The small β-turn peptidomimetic compounds of the invention can activate a tyrosine kinase neurotrophin receptor that normally binds a relatively large protein ligand. Such compounds that bind the extracellular domain of Trk receptors are useful pharmacological agents to address disorders where Trk receptors play a role, by targeting populations selectively.

The questionnaire processing part uses a combination of weighted statistical methodologies to arrive at a rule-based decision on whether the question would serve as a good wedge variable. Optionally, the rule based decision is then compared to an expert's opinion and the weights and threshold parameters of the weighted statistical combination are adjusted accordingly to more accurately match the expert's decision. The identified wedge variables are used for effectively segregating the target population into groups of homogenous individuals. The typing tool part selectively generates an abbreviated set of questions from the predetermined set of questionnaire questions for profiling an individual respondent to at least one of the segments.
