Non-Invasive Cognitive Device with Electromagnetic Disc Behind Ear
Summary
USPTO published patent application US20260091193A1 for a non-invasive cognitive device featuring a small electromagnetic disc positioned behind the user's right ear. The device pairs with a monitoring system and transmits electromagnetic signals with music directly to the brain to ease symptoms of dementia, depression, Alzheimer's, and anxiety. Inventors: Alicia Catbagan-Tapiador and Arlene Rivera.
What changed
The patent application describes a cognitive device comprising an electromagnetic disc attached to an anchor and positioned behind the user's right ear, paired to a monitoring system. The device sends electromagnetic signals with music to the right temporal lobe, which communicates to the left temporal lobe and then to the medulla oblongata to calm uncontrolled behavior associated with dementia, depression, Alzheimer's, and anxiety. The monitoring system allows nurses or caregivers to track which music positively or negatively affects the user's mental state.
This publication represents the initial public disclosure of the patent application. No compliance action is required from healthcare providers or medical device manufacturers. However, companies developing similar neurostimulation or cognitive enhancement devices should review this application to assess potential prior art implications and freedom-to-operate considerations for their own product development.

Abstract
A non-invasive cognitive device is disclosed, which produces an electrical stimulation which mimics the strength of energy produced in the brain. The non-invasive cognitive device comprises a small electromagnetic disc and monitoring system that transmits signals to the brain. The disc is attached to an anchor and positioned behind a user's right ear. The disc, which is paired to a monitoring system, sends electromagnetic signals with music directly to a user's brain. Nurses or caregivers can monitor which music positively or negatively affects the user's state of mind. Specifically, users transmit electrical stimulation and music to the right temporal lobe which is then communicated to the left temporal lobe. This is then transmitted to the medulla oblongata to ease or calm down the uncontrolled behavior associated with dementia, depression, Alzheimer's, anxiety, etc.
