Pervasive Biocybernetic Adaptation
The system seamlessly integrates into real-life environments, including homes, cars, or cockpits for pilots. This enables users to train within their daily routines as they move through various work and leisure settings. The technology provides continuous physiological feedback, motivating users to regulate their cognitive and emotional states, with rewards being reflected in the environment. For instance, a driver or pilot can monitor alertness and see changes in their dashboard once a desired state is reached. The system comprises three key components: Talisman: Biofeedback sensors worn on the user's body. Artifacts: Receivers placed in the environment to receive biofeedback signals from the talisman. Software elements that facilitate changes in the operation and appearance of the environment. A pattern comparator stores physiological pattern templates and calculates the proximity of the user's current physiological activity to desirable or undesirable patterns. The reward calculator uses this data to determine when and what rewards are introduced or removed from the user's experience, both qualitatively and quantitatively. As of now, the system has a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3, indicating it is a concept with proof-of-concept analysis.
