Multi-sensory stimulation system with sound and light vibration synchronization

The invention relates to a multi-sensory stimulation system that synchronizes acousto-optic vibration, and particularly relates to a system that uses music amplitude to generate vibration, and simultaneously controls the color or flicker of light-emitting elements according to the size of sound waves.

With the increase of the elderly, Taiwan has gradually entered into an aging society. With the advent of the aging society, the problems caused by aging have become more and more important in recent years. In particular, people have paid more and more attention to healthy living, making "aging" Issues also seem particularly important. Everyone in the world is old, and biologists basically agree that the aging process begins from birth.

Biological aging is generally defined as the process of degrading certain physiological functions, such as fertility, with the increase of age, and then moving towards death. The aging process often brings a lot of pain and physical decline, leading to inconvenience in old age. Therefore, aging is an important factor in physiological changes and degradation.

Aged people often change their physical functions due to aging, especially the dementia or disability caused by the decline, which often affects psychological and social adaptation. The aging of the body functions of the silver-haired people is mainly the most obvious changes in breathing, digestion, urinary, cardiovascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal and sensory perception systems. The two major systems, the musculoskeletal system and the sensory perception system, will directly affect the daily life, actual behavior, and ability and range of activities of the silver-haired, and will also directly affect the ability of the silver-haired to receive external messages and reactions.

Therefore, science, medicine, and the industry are competing to design a variety of sensory stimulation training and treatment devices or methods. Multisensory stimulation training uses devices, instruments, and room layouts to allow users to experience vision, hearing, touch, and smell to achieve stimulation. Sensory effect. With the development of technology, various sensory stimulation treatments have been confirmed to have obvious benefits for the cognitive ability of the silver-haired, and can improve the problematic behavior and anxiety of the silver-haired, as well as enhance the ability of independence. The main stimulation method is to enhance the senses and physical responses of the silver-haired people through the stimulation of hearing, sight, touch and movement, and to maintain the sensitivity of the silver-haired people, promote the interaction between the silver-haired people and the external environment, and provide emotion and communication. opportunity. The more common stimulation method is usually the use of sound, such as music, including the combination of tones, music speed, rhythm, and music amplitude. Clinical studies have found that music can improve psychological problems such as anxiety, tension, and depression, and can reduce restless behavior. , Increase memory, relax muscles, lower blood pressure, ease heartbeat, stabilize breathing rate and reduce pain, is a safe, effective, less aggressive stimulation method. Before using music stimulation, you must first evaluate the user's personal information and background, the degree of acceptance of the music type, the history of the disease, the appropriate device and the appropriate environment, according to the user's needs. It is also necessary to consider the choice of sound type, such as the frequency and amplitude, and try to avoid using too high decibels to avoid damaging the user's senses. The old songs in the sound type are usually the most popular among the silver-haired. It can also be used in conjunction with other suitable stimuli, such as light to stimulate vision, improve response sensitivity, or use aerobic exercise with optical fibers to enable the silver-haired family to activate physical functions and promote blood circulation.

Following the above, the sensory stimulation training devices or methods designed by science, medicine, and industry usually use devices, instruments, and room layouts. For example, security institutions use different rooms to configure visual, listening, and touch stimulation equipment to form A relaxed and non-threatening environment; in this environment, users can experience different sensory stimuli, and relatively reduce their tension and stress, allowing them to explore freely; but the equipment used in the room as the main body is too large and expensive, and If it is a silver-haired family who cares at home, it is difficult to install the device in the home, which is an inconvenient situation; therefore, the sensory stimulation training device desperately needs a lighter and portable device design that can synchronize sound and light stimulation.
