Patent ID: 8374687

Claim:
A method for prioritizing an output of an image triage, comprising: displaying images to a user on a display screen; using one or more sensors to monitor a physical state or cognitive state of the user while displaying the images to the user; detecting an evoked response potential (ERP) in the user while displaying the images to the user; classifying the user as being in one of two distinct user states based on the monitored physical state or cognitive state of the user, the two distinct user states being an optimal user state or a suboptimal user state; and in a user sensitive prioritization system: assigning a first priority to a set of one or more of the images when the user is classified as being in the optimal user state and an ERP is detected; assigning a second priority to a set of one or more of the images when the user is classified as being in the suboptimal user state and an ERP is detected; and assigning a third priority to a set of one or more of the images when the user is classified as being in the optimal user state and an ERP is not detected.
