Abstract

A device comprised of one component that emits pulsing light patterns across the entire human visual field and a second component that monitors physiological activity and regulates the first component. The device is composed of glasses with dense light array emitting sources across the entire visual field of both eyes. This array may emit any of the possible combinations and permutations from the domains of (but not limited to), wave frequency, intensity, color, coherence, phase and type including sinusoidal, square, or saw tooth waves. By driving these possible combinations, different areas of the brain can be stimulated. Since various areas of the brain control CNS (Central Nervous System) functions, the secondary CNS monitoring component can be coupled with these various brain regions to enhance response to training. The data that the device detectors collect will provide recommendations for natural and pharmaceutical agents to enhance the function of the device.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein the input values consist of inputs from the EEG, skin conductance and heart rate/pulse, and

wherein the light pulse rate combination or permutation is determined by combining the frequency, amplitude, coherence and phase of the input values into a light pulse protocol,
