9. An apparatus comprising:
-
a light source arranged to apply pulsed light to a user'"'"'s forehead; means for preventing light produced by the light source from impinging on the user'"'"'s eyes; and a fitting device detachably fittable onto the head of the user; wherein the fitting device is provided with an adjusting means for adjusting the frequency of light to be applied; and wherein the adjusting means for the frequency of pulsed light picks up a signal component in the range of α
wave and/or θ
wave among brain wave signals of the user from brain wave measuring electrodes and calculates a representative value of that signal component, and feeds back the representative value or any frequency near the same as a light applying signal.
