First Claim
1. A device comprising control means operable, in use, to monitor a recorded message being played to a human subject, and actuator means being operable in use to respond to an activation signal within said message to provide a perceptible stimulation to the human subject wherein the control means is further individually operable, at least selectively by the human subject, to activate the actuator means at a predetermined point or points in the message independently of the activation signal within said message.

Abstract
A device is housed in a housing in the general form of a wrist watch. A vibrator within the device can be manually actuated to provide tactile stimulation to the wearer. The device also incorporates a store for storing an audible message available to the wearer, through a headphone socket, loudspeaker or the like, when play back is initiated by a control. During play back, a link device monitors the message being reproduced, and causes activation of the vibrator at appropriate points within the message, as required for effective behaviour modification.
