Bio-feedback process and device for affecting the human psyche
First Claim
1. A biofeedback process for producing acoustic and/or optical signals for relaxation purposes comprising:
- electrically measuring eye movements of a person to obtain measured values by detecting action potentials in an eye and/or nose root area by sensors;
transferring the measured values to an evaluation system having information allotted to the measured values;
producing control signals for a stimulation system on the basis of the detected measured values and the information allotted to the measured values and stored in the evaluation system;
substantially continuously producing acoustic and/or optical signals from the stimulation system, in dependence on the control signals; and
delivering the produced acoustic and/or optical signals so that they are detected by at least one perceptive sense of the person.

Abstract
A bio-feedback process for affecting the human psyche and a device for implementing it comprises measuring eye movements, physiological parameters of eye muscles and/or nose root muscles of a person sensors. The measurements are transmitted to an evaluation system, which, by means of the measurements made in the immediate vicinity of the eyes and information stored in the evaluation system, assesses the psychological condition of the person. Depending on the data measured, the person is then stimulated by a stimulation system with relaxing or tensing stimuli. It is thus possible to relax or stimulate a person'"'"'s psyche in a targeted manner, whereby the person'"'"'s psychological condition can be easily and accurately measured in the immediate vicinity of the eye.

12. A device for implementing a biofeedback process producing acoustic and/or optical signals for relaxation purposes comprising:
-
sensors that detect measured values by electrically measuring eye movements of a person, wherein the sensors detect action potentials in the eye and/or nose root area; an evaluation system to which the measured values detected by the sensors are transferred, and the evaluation system has a control signal producer that produces control signals on the basis of the measured values and data which is allotted to the measured values and stored in the evaluation system; a stimulation system that substantially continuously generates acoustic and/or optical signals in dependence on the control signals; and a transporter that sends the generated acoustic and/or optical signals to the person. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
