Determining Mental States Based on Biometric Data, US Patent 12602112 B2
Summary
The USPTO granted patent 12602112B2 to Neurable Inc. covering an apparatus, methods, and computer program for determining mental states of a user based on biometric data. The technology includes a set of headphones with electrodes that detect neural signals, an analytics engine that preprocesses data and extracts features, and machine learning models that generate outputs corresponding to the user's mental state or facial gestures. The patent contains 20 claims.
What changed
The USPTO granted patent 12602112B2 to Neurable Inc. for an analytics engine that receives neural signal data from electrodes on headphones worn by a user, preprocesses the data, extracts features, and feeds them into one or more machine learning models to determine the user's current mental state or facial gesture type. The determined output is sent to a computing device to perform an action. The patent covers 20 claims and CPC classifications spanning neural signal detection (A61B 5/165, A61B 5/291, A61B 5/296), health informatics (G16H 50/20), and security (G06F 21/32).
Manufacturers developing biometric wearable devices, healthcare providers implementing mental state monitoring systems, and technology companies working on neural interface or AI-based human state detection should review the patent scope to assess potential infringement exposure. The patent grants Neurable exclusive rights to this technology in the United States, establishing clear IP boundaries in the emerging neurotechnology and health informatics sector.

Abstract
Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an Analytics Engine that receives one more signal files that include neural signal data of a user based on voltages detected by one or more electrodes on a set of headphones worn by a user. The Analytics Engine preprocesses the data, extracts features from the received data, and feeds the extracted features into one or more machine learning models to generate determined output that corresponds to at least one of a current mental state of the user and a type of facial gesture performed by the user. The Analytics Engine sends the determined output to a computing device to perform an action based on the determined output.
