US Patent Issued to University of Washington on June 16 for "Systems and methods based on deep reinforcement learning and planning for shaping neural activity, rewiring neural circuits, augmenting neural function and/or restoring neural function" (Washington Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,654,014, issued on June 16, was assigned to University of Washington (Seattle).

"Systems and methods based on deep reinforcement learning and planning for shaping neural activity, rewiring neural circuits, augmenting neural function and/or restoring neural function" was invented by Rajesh P.N. Rao (Seattle).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Restoring and/or augmenting neural function may be achieved in some examples by receiving signals associated with a first region of a nervous system, and generating a stimulation pattern based on the signals associated with the first region of the nervous system and a first artificial network. The stimula...
