    摘要: The present devices and methods are configured to utilize ultra-low frequency non-vibratory tactile stimuli for the regulation of physiological processes. In one embodiment, an apparatus configured to generate and apply mechanical stimuli to skin of a user for regulating a physiological process includes a housing having a first surface for placement against the skin and an electro-mechanical actuator disposed within the housing and configured to generate and apply the mechanical stimuli to the skin. The mechanical stimuli comprise ultra-low frequency stimuli that have a frequency between about 2 Hz (two stimuli per second) to about 0.1 Hz (one stimulus every 10 seconds). The mechanical stimuli have sufficient energy so as to engage skin sensory receptors that are configured to convey signals to the nervous system where the stimuli are at least one of consciously perceived and subliminally perceived.

    摘要: An apparatus that promotes patient relaxation, reduces patient stress, and/or expedites patient recovery, in a health care facility or home-based convalescent environment. The apparatus includes a substantially glare-free visual display device with one or more open, natural, serene and, preferably, savanna-like landscape pictures. Such pictures, including large size high resolution photo-realistic images, are displayed by means of a substantially glare-free display device, such as a flexible panel of fabric material positioned near a hospital bed or a like item of furniture, in close proximity to the patient so as to give the patient the perception of being in a natural and biophilic setting. In certain embodiments of the invention, the biophilic picture is removably attached to a movable wall, partition or hospital curtain structure which forms at least part of an enclosure substantially around at least part of the hospital bed. Such embodiments are designed to meet all relevant health care codes and standards in regard to fire retardancy and hygiene. The patient's experience of viewing the biophilic visual image may be enhanced by augmenting the visual installation with the playing of audio recordings of substantially natural sounds and/or providing a means to broadcast appropriate natural aromatic scents into the patient's immediate environment.

    摘要: Aspects of the present invention relate to a multi-sensory manipulation system. The multi-sensory manipulation system is useable to train one or more senses through the manipulation of one or more sensory inputs as perceived by a user. The multi-sensory system may be used train a variety of senses, such as vision, hearing, olfactory, taste, touch, and the like. Consequently, the multi-sensory system may be comprised of a first sensory vitiation device that vitiates a sensory input for the first sense. The multi-sensory system may be comprised of a first sensory vitiation driver that generates vitiations instructions useable by the first sensory vitiation device. The multi-sensory system may also be comprised of a controller to coordinate one or more sensory drivers and/or one or more sensory vitiation devices to allow for the training of one or more senses through the manipulation of multiple sensory inputs.
