Learning-relaxation device
First Claim
1. A learning-relaxation device for stimulating the central nervous system and the brain waves of a human subject having left and right eyes and left and right ears comprising:
- light means providing pulsating light signals individually to the left and right eyes of the subject and for limiting at least peripheral vision in the left and right eyes,sound means operable independently of said light means and providing at least one pulsating sound signal individually to the left and right ears of the subject while blocking ambient sound to both left and right ears, andcontrol means for individually varying frequency and intensity of each of said pulsating signals and phase of one of said signals relative to the other of said signals.

Abstract
Disclosed is a device for relaxing, stimulating and/or driving brain wave form function in a human subject. The device comprises, in combination, an eye mask having independently controlled left and right eyepieces and a peripheral light array in each eyepiece, an audio headset having independently controlled left and right earpieces and a control panel which controls light and sound signals to the light arrays and earpieces, respectively. Various control functions allow simultaneous or alternating light and sound pulsations in the left and right light arrays and earpieces, as well as selective phasing between light and sound pulsations.

10. A learning and relaxation device for stimulating the central nervous system and the brain waves of a human subject having left and right eyes and left and right ears comprising:
-
an eye covering eye mask having left and right eyepieces; each eyepiece including a peripheral light array which is electrically connected for individual control of light intensity and off-on switching; an audio headset having left and right earpieces which independently supply sound signals to the left and right ears, and a control panel connected to both said eye mask and said headset, said control panel including a plurality of sources of sound signals, means for selecting at least one of said sound signals, a variable volume control for said sound signals, a generator of light signals, means for varying the intensity of said light signals, pulsation means for pulsating said light and sound signals, switching means for selectively synchronizing and alternating the light and sound signals to said light arrays and earpieces in and out of phase with each other. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A learning-relaxation device for stimulating the central nervous system and the brain waves of a human subject having left and right eyes and left and right ears comprising:
-
light means for providing pulsating light signals independently to the left and right eyes of the subject and for limiting at least peripheral vision in the left and right eyes, sound means for providing at least one pulsating sound signal independently to the left and right ears of the subject while blocking ambient sound to both left and right ears, and control means for individually controlling frequency and intensity for each of said pulsating light and sound signals, said control means including selective means for selectively stimulating through the eyes and ears all, by light and sound inputs in phase but alternating from left to right by cross stimulation, by light and sound inputs out of phase but with left and right light inputs and left and right sound inputs synchronized by alternate stimulation, or by light and sound inputs out of phase and each alternating from left to right by cross and alternate stimulations light and sound stimulated areas of the brain.
