Patent No. 4777937 Mood altering device

 

Patent No. 4777937  Mood altering device (Rush, et al.,Oct 18, 1988)

Abstract

The invention features a method and apparatus for altering the mood of an individual. A facial mask is provided that excludes external stimuli while providing visual and auditory stimulation designed to influence the brain wave pattern. The visual stimulus introduces a continuous, uniform light of a particular color. The light stimulus is designed to produce an effect known as ganzfeld, wherein there occurs a complete loss of visual sensation.

Notes:

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention differs from the aforementioned patented relaxation device in U.S. Pat. No. 4,315,502, in that the light stimulation is continuous instead of pulsating. The continuous light is desired to product ganzfeld, a visual "blanking out", which in turn affects the brain waves. While both light and sound are simultaneously introduced, the rhythmic pink noise is not synchronously coupled to the light generator, i.e., the two stimulative effects are independent of each other.

The invention features a method and apparatus for altering the mood of an individual.

The individual is simultaneously subjected to light and sound stimulation, which affects the brain waves and induces a feeling of relaxation.

The light stimulation is introduced to the sight of the individual in a face mask that excludes external light stimulation.

The introduced light is of a substantially continuous and uniform color, which is designed to produce a condition or effect known as ganzfeld, wherein there is a loss of visual sensation.

A rhythmic pink noise is simultaneously introduced to the hearing of the subject. The pink noise is a monotonous sound simulative of flowing water. The combined effect of both the light and sound stimulation reduces stress and provides a state of relaxation.

The light is produced by an electroluminescent light generator and has a glowing appearance.

The light color can be selected to enhance a particular mood. For example, blue or green is most useful for inducing relaxation.

It is an object of this invention to provide an improved mood altering method and device.

It is another object of the invention to provide an apparatus that provides visual stimulation for inducing a ganzfeld effect.

Although such novel feature or features believed to be characteristic of the invention are pointed out in the claims, the invention and the manner in which it may be carried out, may be further understood by reference to the description following and the accompanying drawing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It is also understood the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might fall therebetween.
