Abstract

A system for representing brain activities in the form of visual patterns has been described. The system comprises a signal frequency modulator (frequenzer) and a resonating chamber. The signal frequenzer receives a signal corresponding to a brain activity and generates an audio signal corresponding to the received signal. The resonating chamber receives the audio signal and generates a visual pattern corresponding to the received audio signal. The visual pattern may be recorded by using a camera and displayed on a display device.

Claims

1. A system for representing brain activities in the form of visual patterns, the system comprising:

a a signal frequency modulator (frequenzer), the signal frequenzer receiving a signal corresponding to a brain activity and generating an audio signal corresponding to the received signal; and

b a resonating chamber, the resonating chamber generating a visual pattern corresponding to the audio signal.

2. The system of claim 1 further comprising a signal capturing module, the signal capturing module capturing the signal corresponding to the brain activity.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the signal capturing module is an Electroencephalogram (EEG).

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the resonating chamber comprises:

a loudspeaker, the loudspeaker comprising;

a diaphragm; and

a magnet, the magnet inducing the diaphragm to vibrate in response to the audio signal;

a bowl, the bowl being filled with a liquid; and

a first cold-light-electrode, the first cold-light-electrode emitting light,

wherein the first cold-light-electrode is placed between the diaphragm and the bowl.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the loudspeaker further comprises one or more siphons, the one or more siphons forcing the air through the resonating chamber at atmospheric pressure.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the resonating chamber further comprises a styrofoam plate, the styrofoam plate providing a base for the bowl.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein the resonating chamber further comprises a black fabric plate, the black fabric plate containing the light within the resonating chamber.

8. The system of claim 4, wherein the first cold-light-electrode is a fluorescent lamp.

9. The system of claim 1 further comprising a camera, the camera recording the visual pattern.

10. The system of claim 9 further comprising a light box, wherein the camera is placed in the light box.

a a diffusor plate;

b a second cold-light electrode, the second cold-light-electrode emitting light; and

c a tube, the tube transferring the visual pattern from the bowl to the camera.

13. The system of claim 9 further comprises a display device, the display device displaying the recorded visual pattern.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the resonating chamber comprises:

a magnetic coil;

a bowl, the bowl being filled with a liquid, wherein the magnetic coil induces the bowl to vibrate in response to the audio signal; and

a third cold-light-electrode, the third cold-light-electrode emitting light,

wherein the third cold-light-electrode is placed above the bowl.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the third cold-light electrode is a plurality of LEDs.

16. The system of claim 1 further comprising an amplifier, the amplifier amplifying the audio signal.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the light box further comprises a cover plate.

17. A system for representing brain activities in the form of visual patterns, the system comprising:

a. a signal capturing module, the signal capturing module capturing a signal corresponding to a brain activity;

b. a signal frequenzer, the signal frequenzer receiving the signal corresponding to the brain activity and generating an audio signal corresponding to the received signal;

c. a resonating chamber, the resonating chamber generating a visual pattern corresponding to the audio signal; and

d. a camera, the camera recording the visual pattern.

18. A method for representing brain activities in the form of visual patterns, the method comprising:

a. receiving a signal corresponding to a brain activity;

b. generating an audio signal corresponding to the received signal; and

C. generating a visual pattern corresponding to the audio signal.

19. The method of claim 18 further comprising recording the visual pattern.

20. The method of claim 19 further comprising displaying the recorded visual pattern.

21. A method for representing brain activities in the form of visual patterns, the method comprising:

a. capturing a signal corresponding to a brain activity;

b. generating an audio signal corresponding to the captured signal;

c. generating a visual pattern corresponding to the audio signal; and

d. recording the visual pattern.
