Patent for EEG Analysis using ICA, sLORETA, Source Localization
Summary
The USPTO has published a new patent application detailing systems and methods for analyzing electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The application, filed by Thomas Collura and Agostino Roseace, describes techniques including independent component analysis (ICA), frequency-domain averaging, sLORETA, and source localization for deconstructing EEG rhythms into individual sources and patterns.
What changed
This document is a published patent application from the USPTO for a novel system and method for analyzing electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The application, US20260083385A1, specifically details the use of independent component analysis (ICA), frequency-domain averaging, standardized Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (sLORETA), and source localization to deconvolve EEG rhythms into individual sources and patterns. The inventors claim the ability to capture the morphology of "events" produced by brain sources and analyze their patterns over time, offering insights into wave morphology and the precise timing of brain events.
As this is a patent application, it does not impose direct regulatory obligations or compliance deadlines on entities. However, it signifies potential future technological advancements in medical diagnostics and analysis. Companies involved in developing or utilizing EEG analysis tools, medical device manufacturers, and healthcare providers in the neurology or neuroscience fields should be aware of this patent filing as it may impact future product development, intellectual property landscapes, and diagnostic methodologies. No immediate actions are required from a compliance perspective, but monitoring patent filings in this area is advisable for strategic planning.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAMS
Application US20260083385A1 Kind: A1 Mar 26, 2026
Inventors
Thomas Collura, Agostino Roseace
Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for analyzing and evaluating electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, comprising built-in independent component analysis (ICA), frequency-domain averaging, standardized Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (sLORETA), and source localization to deconvolve EEG rhythms into individual sources and patterns. The disclosed systems and methods capture the morphology of one “event” being produced by that brain source and analyze the pattern of “events” over time. The detection and isolation of singular events and the association of the events to the particular times that they occur can allow insight into the morphology of the waves, and the exact timing of the brain events, including effects that change across time.
