Description
Titel: Gerät zurn selbsttätigen Wecken einer schla-Title: Device for the automatic awakening of a sleepy
fenden Person im Anschluß an einen Traum. person following a dream.
Anwendungsgebiet: J)ie Erfindung betrifft ein Gerät zum selbsttätigen Wecken einer schlafenden Person im Anschluß an einen Traum.Field of application: The invention relates to a device for automatic Awakening a sleeping person following a dream.
Zweck: Für psychotherapeutische Zwecke und als Hilfe zur Selbsterkenntnis und zur Erforschung unbewußter seelischer Vorgänge ist die Erinnerung an Träume wichtig und notwendig. Jeder Mensch träumt zwar drei- bis sechsmal in der Nacht, jedoch ist das Erinnerungsvermögen an Trawninhalte großen Schwankungen unterworfen. Die beste Möglichkeit, sich an einen Traum zu erinnern, besteht darin, in unmittelbarem Anschluß an einen Traum geweckt zu werden und dessen Inhalt sofort festzuhalten.Purpose: For psychotherapeutic purposes and as an aid to self-awareness and to research unconscious mental processes is the memory of dreams important and necessary. Everyone dreams three to six times a night, however, the ability to remember trawn contents is subject to great fluctuations. The best way to remember a dream is to do it immediately To be awakened following a dream and to record its content immediately.
stand der Technik: Im Jahre 1952 wurde entdeckt, daß sich die Augen einer schlafenden Person während des Träumens bewegen. Diese Phase der schnellen Augenbewegungen (Rapid Eye Movement = REM) wird als hEM-Phase bezeichnet (Zeitschrift "Science", Jahrgang 1953, Band 118, Seiten 273 bis 274; Zeitschrift "Journal of Experimental Psychology", Jahrgang 195, Band 53, Seiten 339 bis 346). Die Augen bewegen sich während eines raumes jedoch nicht gleichmäßig, vielmehr wechseln sich Salven von Augenbewegungen von weigen Sekunden Dauer mit Swischenzeiten des Augenstillstandes ab (N. Birbaumer, Physiologische Psychologie, Berlin Heidelberg New York 1975, Seiten 91 bis 115). Dies gab den Anlaß, in Schlaflaboratorien die Augenaktivitäten einer schlafenden Person mit Hilfe des Elektrooculogramms (EOG) zu registrieren und ihren näheren Zusammenhang mit Traum- und Schlafprozessen zu erforschen. Dabei wurde ds Erinnerungsvermögen an einen Traum abhängig vom zeitlichen Abstand des Aufwachens vm Ende der Traumphase untersucht. Je kürzer dieser Abstand ist, desto größer ist die Erinnerung an den vorangegangenen ?raun (U. J.state of the art: In 1952 it was discovered that the eyes of a sleeping person while dreaming. This phase of the fast Eye movements (Rapid Eye Movement = REM) is known as the hEM phase (Zeitschrift "Science", 1953 year, volume 118, pages 273 to 274; Journal of Experimental Psychology ", Volume 195, Volume 53, Pages 339 to 346). The eyes However, they do not move evenly throughout a room, rather they alternate Salvos of eye movements lasting a few seconds with periods of eye standstill from (N. Birbaumer, Physiological Psychology, Berlin Heidelberg New York 1975, pp 91 to 115). This gave rise to eye activities in sleep laboratories to register sleeping person with the help of the electrooculogram (EOG) and their closer To explore the connection with dream and sleep processes. This was ds memory of a dream depending on the time interval between waking up from the end of the dream phase examined. The shorter this distance, the greater the memory of the previous? raun (U. J.

Kritik: Dabei sind aufwendige Schlaflaboratorien nötig, in denen die Augenbewegungen meist mit Hilfe von Polygraphen auf Papier registriert werden, die ein wachender Versuchsleiter ständig beobachten muß, um nach Abschluß der REM-Phase die schlafende Person zu wecken.Criticism: Elaborate sleep laboratories are necessary in which the Eye movements are usually recorded on paper with the help of polygraphs a watchful experimenter has to keep an eye on after the REM phase has been completed to wake the sleeping person.
Aufgabe: Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das selbsttätige Wecken einer schlafenden Person im Anschluß an einen Traum mit einfachen Mitteln zu ermöglichen.Task: The invention is based on the task of the automatic Awakening a sleeping person after a dream by simple means to enable.
Lösung: Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß mindestens zwei Elektroden im Augebereich der schlafenden Persion befestigt sind und über Zuleitungen nn einem elektronischen Steuergerät liegen, innerhalb dessen die Spannungen, die durch die Augenbewegungen während der REM-Phase hervorgerufen werden, verstärkt und dergestalt ausgewertet werden, daß sie nach Überschreiten eines Schwellwertes und nachfolgendem Absinken unterhalb eines vorgegebenen Wertes sowie Ausbleiben einen weiteren Spannungsanstiegen während e vorgegebenen Zeitintervalls zur Auslösung eines Wecksignals ftihren.Solution: This object is achieved according to the invention in that at least two electrodes are attached in the eye area of the sleeping persion and via leads nn an electronic control unit, within which the voltages that caused by eye movements during the REM phase and are evaluated in such a way that they are after a threshold value has been exceeded and subsequent dropping below a specified value as well as failing to occur a further increase in voltage during a specified time interval for triggering a wake-up signal.
Erzielbare Vorteile: Die mit der E findung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß jeder an ihren rUräumen interessierten Person die Möglichkeit gegeben ist, ohne großen app rativen Aufwand und ohne wachende Hilfsperson, nur mit Hilfe eines transportablen und handlichten Gerätes, sich an ihre Träume zu erinnern, um diese insbesondere für psychotherapeutische Zwecke zu nutzen Beschreibung eines Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in Ausführungsbei- der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenspiels: den näher beschrieben, Mindestens zwei Elektroden 1 werden im Augenbereich der Person auf der Haut befestigt, hier in der Zeichnung beispielhaft unterhalb der Augen. Es wären aber auch andere Stellen, z. B. neben oder iiber den Augen mögsich. Die Elektroden leiten von der Hautoberfläche Potentialdifferenzen ab, die durch Augenbewegungen hervorgerufen werden, und ) eiten sie über Zuleitungen 2 einem elektronischen Steuergerät 3 zu. In diesem werden die abgeleiteten Spannungen verstärkt und ausgewertet. Wenn die Spannung zunächst einen Schwellwert für die Dauer einer vorgegebenen Zeit überschreitet, danach unter einen vorgegebenen Wert wieder absinkt, evtl. erneut den Schwellwert übersteigt, endlich ein erneuter Spannungsanstieg während eines vorgegebenen Zeitintervalls ausbleibt, wird ein Wecksignal ausgelöst.Achievable advantages: The advantages achieved with the invention exist especially in the fact that everyone interested in their premises has the opportunity is given, without much app rative effort and without a watchful helper, only with the help of a portable and handy device to remember your dreams, in order to use them especially for psychotherapeutic purposes Description of a An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail in the following game: At least two electrodes 1 are attached to the skin in the eye area of the person, here in the drawing as an example below the eyes. But there would also be other places, e.g. B. next to or above the Eyes possible. The electrodes conduct potential differences from the skin surface caused by eye movements, and) eit them via leads 2 to an electronic control unit 3. In this are the derived voltages amplified and evaluated. When the voltage first reaches a threshold for the Duration exceeds a specified time, then falls below a specified value falls again, possibly again exceeds the threshold value, finally a renewed increase in voltage If there is no signal during a specified time interval, an alarm signal is triggered.
