Abstract

A space is set substantially in a tropical rain forest type environment to activate human'"'"'s essential brain region and realize an environment suitable for the human'"'"'s brain by arranging a device for setting the tropical rain forest type environment based on characteristics of activating human'"'"'s essential brain region responsive to tropical rain forest type environment information, in the space such as urban space, housing space or other living space. The tropical rain forest type environmental information has higher density and higher complexity than those of urban space type environmental information, and includes at least one of auditory information, visual information, and super perceptual information of aerial vibration. The tropical rain forest type environmental information is comfortable for the human with no excessive stress, and is environmental information for effectively functioning on prevention and treatment of diseases due to stress by realizing the environment comfortable for the human'"'"'s brain.

Claims

1. A method for environmental setting including a step of arranging a device for setting a tropical rain forest type environment based on characteristics of activating human being'"'"'s essential brain region in response to tropical rain forest type environment information, in a predetermined space including at least one of urban space, housing space and living space, to set the space substantially in the tropical rain forest type environment, thereby activating the human being'"'"'s essential brain region to realize an environment suitable for the human being'"'"'s brain.

2. The method for environmental setting as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the tropical rain forest type environmental information has higher density and higher complexity than those of urban space type environmental information.

3. The method for environmental setting as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the tropical rain forest type environment information includes at least one of auditory information, visual information and super perceptual information of aerial vibration.

4. The method for environmental setting as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the tropical rain forest type environmental information is super perceptual information which is sensory information consisting of perceptible information and information exceeding a perceptual limit.

5. The method for environmental setting as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the means for setting plays back the tropical rain forest type environmental information using at least one of a plurality of loudspeakers arranged by a matrix configuration method, and an apparatus for representing visual information.

6. The method for environmental setting as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the environment suitable for the human being'"'"'s brain is an environment, which is comfortable for human beings, and which has no excessive stress.

7. The method for environmental setting as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the tropical rain forest type environmental information is environmental information for effectively functioning on prevention and treatment of diseases due to stress by realizing the environment suitable for the human being'"'"'s brain.

13. The apparatus for environmental setting as claimed in claim 8,

wherein the environment suitable for the human being'"'"'s brain is an environment, which is comfortable for human beings, and which has no excessive stress.

14. The apparatus for environmental setting as claimed in claim 8,

wherein the tropical rain forest type environmental information is environmental information for effectively functioning on prevention and treatment of diseases due to stress by realizing the environment suitable for the human being'"'"'s brain.

15. Information for environmental setting including a step of arranging a device for setting a tropical rain forest type environment based on characteristics of activating human being'"'"'s essential brain region in response to tropical rain forest type environment information, in a predetermined space including at least one of urban space, housing space and living space, to set the space substantially in the tropical rain forest type environment, thereby activating the human being'"'"'s essential brain region to realize an environment suitable for the human being'"'"'s brain.
