Abstract

A method for behavior modification and memory enhancement utilizing a central processing unit, comprising compiling a symbolic profile of a subject participant, interpreting the subject participant'"'"'s stored symbolic constructs, instructing the subject participant using virtual reality means, evaluating and recording physiological parameters of the participant and delivering symbolic containers to the participant; and delivering symbolic prescriptions to the subject participant for behavior modification and memory enhancement. The methodology allows for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs by isolating symbolic quests embodied within multiple multimedia virtual reality events, and delivering the multimedia virtual reality events to a user by artificial intelligence and multi-media means, applying the symbolic constructs to the user. Apparatuses for behavior modification and memory enhancement, comprising devices for evaluating and constructing a symbolic profile of a subject participant, interpretative apparatus, virtual reality instruction apparatus for instructing the participant in behavior and memory modification, apparatus for evaluating and recording physiologic parameters of the subject participant and delivering symbolic containers to the participant and delivery apparatus for delivering symbolic prescriptions to the participant are included.

Claims

1. An apparatus for behavior modification and memory enhancement, comprising:

means for evaluating and constructing a symbolic profile of a subject participant;

means for interpreting said subject participants stored symbolic constructs;

virtual reality instruction means for instructing the participant in behavior and memory modification;

means for evaluating and recording physiologic parameters of the subject participant and delivering symbolic containers to the participant; and

means for delivery of symbolic prescriptions to said participant.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said symbolic prescriptions are delivered to said participant via the internet.

3. A method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs, comprising:

isolating symbolic quests embodied within multiple multimedia virtual reality events;

delivering said multimedia virtual reality events to a user by artificial intelligence and multi-media means;

applying said symbolic constructs to said user.

4. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 3, wherein said symbolic constructs are embodied within symbolic containers.

5. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 4, wherein said symbolic containers are contained within said multiple multimedia virtual reality events.

6. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 3, wherein said multiple multimedia virtual reality events are cued by biologial sensor signals.

7. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 3, wherein said multiple multimedia virtual reality events are linear sequences.

8. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 3, wherein said multiple multimedia virtual reality events are non-linear sequences.

9. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 7, wherein said linear sequences comprise life event scenarios.

10. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 3, wherein said symbolic quests are configured and delivered in a planned and arranged symbolic quest.

11. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 3, wherein said symbolic quests are configured and delivered in a randomly arranged symbolic quest.

12. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 3, wherein further including the step of retreivieng and measuring data from biological signal sensors.

13. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 3, wherein said symbolic constructs are associated symbolic constructs.

14. The method for accessing and recognition of stored memory symbolic constructs of claim 3, wherein said symbolic constructs are non-associated symbolic constructs.
