Abstract

A learning device, including an induced gravitational force accelerator and decelerator exerciser with adjustable seats for stressing the cells of the body characterized by support for supporting the body and a reciprocally movable apparatus connected with the support for moving the support and the body reciprocally vertically to effect an accelerational and gravitational force stress on the cell above the effect of 1 G, and educational message apparatus for introducing a learning message, either audibly or visibly, or both to the person whose body is being stressed, the video being susceptible to being turned on to flash the message when the gravitational force exceeds 1.0 G on the body cells such that learning occurs at an increased rate and with increased retention.

Claims

1. A learning device for accelerated learning by a person comprising:

a. an induced gravitational force accelerator/decelerator mechanism for stressing the cells of the person'"'"'s body, comprising;

i. support means for supporting the body in a predetermined position under increased gravitational force and adapted to be moved reciprocally in a vertical direction for providing increased and decreased accelerational and gravitational force on the cells;

ii. reciprocal means for moving said support means and body reciprocally such that increased and decreased accelerational and gravitational forces are exerted on said support means and cells of the body sufficiently to stress the cells above 1G, the force due to the earth'"'"'s gravitional field, during a portion of the movement;

b. an audio means for presenting an educational message in audio form audibly discernable by the person;

c. a visual display means for presenting an educational message in visual form visually discernable by the person; and

d. means for energizing said visual display means at least when the gravitational force from the body cells, including the brain cells is greater than 1G.

2. The learning device of claim 1 wherein said support means includes an adjustable seat means for sustaining the persons body in a desired position between sitting and reclining.

3. A learning device for accelerated learning by a person comprising:

a. an induced gravitational force accelerator/decelerator for stressing the cells of a person'"'"'s body, including the brain cells, consisting essentially of;

i. support means for supporting the body in a predetermined position under increased gravitational force and adapted to be moved reciprocally in a vertical direction for providing increased and decreased gravitational force on the cells, including the brain cells,

ii. reciprocal means for moving said support means and body thereon reciprocally such that increased and decreased gravitational forces are exerted on said support means and body sufficiently to stress the cells by subjecting them to accelerational and gravitational forces greater than 1G during at least a portion of the movement;

b. a visual display means for presenting an educational message in visual form visibly discernable by the person; and

c. means for energizing said visual display means at least when the gravitational force on the body cells, including the brain cells, is greater than 1G.

4. The learning device of claim 3 wherein said support means includes an adjustable seat means for sustaining the person'"'"'s body in a desired position between sitting and reclining.

5. The learning device of claim 3 wherein said visual display means includes a computer means and a visual display board connected therewith.
