Background technology
The present invention relates to be used for determining and improving the apparatus and method of people's current time emotional state.
Many people live through and stop them to realize repress one's emotion (limitingemotion) of individual's life goal.These repress one's emotion may be the result who experiences with the relevant accumulation based on the target of people's brains or other reason.The daily experience that represses one's emotion becomes and is accepted as the normal condition of people's brains, setback and ever-increasing abandoning that this causes the people to experience can not realizing target.Repress one's emotion and feel true in people's nervous system, this has influenced the life how people cross them.Because certain environmental stimulus and experiencing when repressing one's emotion, the people just reacts as the people.React and also may cause the inhibition behavior.
People's brains can be described to the set of idea, and it serves as huge storage device, is similar to the hard disk drive in the computer.Brains is stored people's experience, and remembers the form playback experience in the past of (emotion-laced memory) when the people thinks deeply the experience in past with the emotion band.Brains also is attached to current experience based on being attached to the similar emotion of experiencing in the past with emotion.
Usually, when idea or memory were made us not wanting or felt uncomfortable, the people formed gradually by they are extruded the mental habit that suppresses to remember from current consciousness awareness (conscious awareness).This causes these ideas to be stored in the brains and has become so-called subconscious brains.These ideas are accumulated in subconscious brains, and when they reached remarkable quantity at any special kind apoplexy due to endogenous wind or around any special problem, they just became so-called emotion.These be the people randomly or the emotion that when suitable environmental triggers is called out them in people's the experience, is experienced in daily life.
Accumulation and the long-standing pattern that is stored in the idea in people's the subconscious brains are called as program.EP (end of program) represses one's emotion in producing among the people.Program comes from attachment or detests.Attachment is maintenance certain people, place, thing and the experience hope near us.If separating people and the thing of being reluctant to leave, attachment just experiences the emotion misery.Detest is to keep certain people, place, thing and experience to leave our hope.Fear is exactly common detest.Detesting makes the people just experience the emotion misery when people has the situation of detest to it when being exposed to.
The process of oneself or nonproductive poll of having developed is improved people's emotional state lastingly.A version in these processes is by Lester Levenson exploitation, and he has made the audio frequency of writing and writing down of the discovery that describes many relevant these themes in detail and has given a lecture.Another version in these processes is by Lawrence Crane exploitation, and is called as " The Release Technique (loosening skill) ".
Loosening the skill process relates to and is called as the psychological process of loosening.Loosen is such psychological process: allow the inhibition idea leave, and regardless of pattern that experiences and the emotion that causes this moment.This process is inevitable with the people being brought cause interferential in the nervous system to repress one's emotion or emotion is worried experiences.This process wizard individual makes nervous system normalization or loosens emotion, on the interferential reason that the individual is concentrated on discovered.A kind of being called as in the process wizard " Attachments and Aversions (attachment and detest) ".
Freely be that this inhibition idea has become the undesired emotion of making us that experiences as the part of people's ongoing lived experience from the permanent liberation of inhibition idea.Re-use the process of loosening by one, up to no longer include suppress idea and be stored in consequent the repressing one's emotion of in the subconscious brains and in nervous system, no longer experiencing them till, gain freedom.Freely be the liberation fully of subconscious brains.Existence (being ness) be exactly people experience without limits, repress one's emotion or the natural native mode of the restriction discovered.Incrementally make their emotion disturb the people who descends to experience the uniformity that increases gradually, happy or happy sensation.
The Release Technique is by following instruction goal setting: require their target of User Recognition, create mission statements, in visible position they are write down periodically to remind their target to themselves, inspection represses one's emotion and discharges them.Loosen the emotion that the skill guiding it should be noted that them, they can recognize when they reacted with box lunch, discharge this reactivity then, this allows the individual obtaining more controls on to their influence that life had on their emotion and in their emotion.
Suppress idea and emotion though these process wizards people loosen, these processes have no idea to allow the people verify objectively that loosening represses one's emotion to feel what similarly is.Do not have such checking, people may think that they loosen, and in fact they also repress one's emotion adhering to.
May be that in many cases, this process depends on the people and discerns the relevant special idea that represses one's emotion that need loosen with the people by another problem that these processes cause.Again, owing to there is not the method for measuring relaxation level objectively, produced and repressed one's emotion so have no idea to allow the people discern which special idea objectively.
It is schematic rather than exclusiveness that the previous example of prior art and relative restriction are intended to.When reading description and research accompanying drawing, other restriction of prior art will become obvious to those skilled in the art.

The specific embodiment
Figure 1 illustrates system 30 in conjunction with current discussion.Example system 30 comprises sensor device 32, and it is connected to user 34, is used for from the electrical activity sensing of user's prefrontal lobe and isolates the signal of being concerned about.The signal of being concerned about have electrical activity or be concerned about the measurable properties of signal, it relates to user 34 current time emotional state (PTES).PTES refers to the emotional state of user in preset time.For example, if the user is thinking deeply the something that causes the user emotion worries, then compare when emotion to the user has something of calm influence with thinking deeply as the user, PTES is different.In another example, when user sensation during, compare during so with the relaxation state felt as the user about those ideas about the repressing one's emotion of idea, PTES is different.Because be concerned about relation between signal and the PTES, system 30 can be by measuring electrical activity and with the signal and the isolated level of determining the PTES that user 34 experiences of other signal of telecommunication in user's brain be concerned about.
In present example, sensor device 32 comprises the sensor electrode 36 that is positioned at first and is positioned at second reference electrode 38.Place in spaced relation for first and second, keep close mutually simultaneously.Described point preferably is within each other about 8 inches, and described in an example point is separated by about 4 inches.In present example, sensor electrode 36 is positioned on the skin of user's forehead, and reference electrode 38 then is connected to user's ear.Reference electrode can also be attached to user's forehead, and it can comprise reference electrode is placed on user's the ear.
Electrical activity in the prefrontal lobe of sensor electrode 36 sensing user, and electronic module 40 is with the signal be concerned about and existence and isolated by detected other electrical activity of sensor electrode.Electronic module 40 comprises wireless transmitter 46 (Fig. 6), and it sends the signal of being concerned about via Radio Link 50 to wireless receiver 48.Wireless receiver 48 receives the signal of being concerned about from electronic module 40 in Fig. 1, and be connected to the port 52 of computer 54, or having other device of processor, it has port connector 53, is used for sending the signal of being concerned about from wireless receiver 48 to computer 54.Electronic module 40 comprises LED 55 (Fig. 6), and wireless receiver 48 comprises LED 57, when to wireless transmitter and wireless receiver power supply, its two all illuminate.
In present example, on the computer screen 58 of computer 54, in gauge table 56 (Fig. 1 and 2), show the level of the PTES that derives from the signal of being concerned about.In this example, the screen 58 of computer 54 and demonstration gauge table 56 serves as indicator.The level-of-detail that can adjust gauge table 56 is to be fit to the user.Observing gauge table 56 allows user 34 to determine their PTES level in any special time in objective mode.The objective feedback that obtains from gauge table 56 is used to guide the user to improve their PTES, and determines the level of the PTES relevant with special memory or idea, and described special memory or idea can be brought in user 34 the brains when the user is subjected to certain stimulation.Gauge table 56 comprises indicator 60, and it vertically moves the PTES level of numbering bar 62 with the indication user up and down.Gauge table 56 also comprises minimum level indicator 64, the minimum level of the PTES that its indication reaches during user 34 on certain period or therein is subjected to session from the stimulation of media article 66.Gauge table 56 can also comprise maximum, minimum and the average level that the user loosens during session.Can also transmit the level of PTES to user voice, and in this example, computer and speaker serve as indicator.Can also indicate this level to the user by they are printed on the paper.
In another example, relating to the different relaxation levels that the identical media data is reacted can be stored on the storage device at any time.These different relaxation levels can adjacently show, with notify the user he or she in the progress of loosening aspect the negative emotions relevant with media article.
In system 30, media article 66 is used to make user 34 to be upset, and this stimulation is designed to be used in family 34 and brings and relevant special idea or the emotion of high-level PTES among the user.In present example, media article 66 comprises audio data, and it is play on speaker 68 by computer 54.Media article 66 and gauge table 56 are integrated into computer program 70, and it moves on computer 54, and shows on computer screen 58.In this example, use the button 72 control media articles 66 on the screen.Computer program 70 also has: other menu button 74 is used for the steering program function; And indicator 76, the bonding strength of its indication Radio Link 50.Program 70 is typically stored in the memorizer of computer 54, and this or another storage device can also comprise the data base, is used to store self-report daily record and self observation progress.
In some instances, program 70 may be from user 34 response or other input.Under these and other environment, user 34 can use any one or a plurality of suitable periphery or input equipment such as keyboard 78, mouse 80 and/or mike 82 mutual with program 70.For example, mouse 80 can be used for one of selector button 72 with control media article 66.
In an example, the media article 66 that relates to " The Release Technique " brings user 34 to repress one's emotion or the worried PTES that experiences type of emotion, and this causes the interference in user's the nervous system.This process guides user 34 to make nervous system normalization then or loosens emotion, on the interferential reason that the user is concentrated on discovered.When the level of determining PTES or the relaxation level in this example were under the preset threshold value, this process was just finished.
Relevant with relaxation level PTES be concerned about that signal is E.E.G or the electrical activity in user's brain prefrontal lobe in the 4-12Hz scope.The characteristic frequency of these electrical activities is in α and θ wave band.The activity of α wave band is in 8 to 12Hz scopes, and the activity of θ wave band then is in 4 to 7Hz scopes.Linear relationship between the amplitude of α and θ wave band is the indication of relaxation level.When user 34 is in non-relaxation state following time, activity mainly is in the θ wave band, and the α wave band is reduced; And being in relaxation state following time as user 34, activity mainly is in the α wave band, and the energy in the θ wave band is reduced.
When user 34 loosens emotion,, be retained in all in brain, being lowered of idea in the subconscious brains along with from brains, incrementally loosening interference.A large amount of ideas in the subconscious brains cause so-called unhappy or melancholy sensation, and this is the interference in the nervous system.A small amount of idea in the subconscious brains causes so-called happiness or happy sensation, and this causes normalization or lacks interference in the nervous system.
Figure 3 illustrates the exemplary method 84 of utilizing one or more oneselfs or nonproductive poll process.Method 84 is from beginning 86 beginnings, and this method moves to step 88 thus.In step 88, idea or theme that the emotion that program 70 is used the stimulation in the media articles 66 to guide user 34 to bring to cause among the PTES is disturbed as repressed one's emotion.In present example, media article 66 relates to problem or the statement by speaker 68 directed towards user 34.In this and other example, computer can be inserted into the statement about target or problem of user's input in the media article 66.For example, user 34 can use keyboard 78 to import mission statements, and computer can generate voice, and these voice are inserted into mission statements in the media article.In another example, the user can use mike 82 to import mission statements, and computer can be inserted into mission statements in the media article.
Attempts loosening simultaneously repressing one's emotion by observing gauge table 56, user 34 can be associated with loosening of repressing one's emotion feeling.Repeat this process and add strong correlation, feel as what so that the user knows to loosen, and the relaxation training by increasing, can use or not use gauge table 56 to loosen effectively.Circulation merit part (loop feature) allows the user to click on button to enter the circulation session, in this circulation session, repeats the part of practising of loosening continuously.The level of user's PTES is indicated to the user, and during these circulation sessions, automatically write down this level, be used for looking back after a while.The immediate mode that represses one's emotion and leave that the circulation session provides the guiding user allow the encirclement special idea relevant with special subject.The circulation session does not require that the user does anything between repeating, and this repeats to allow them to keep that low idea is active wishes state or relaxation state.The circulation session can be included in and be used for guiding the user to improve any process of their PTES.
In an example, program 70 is used the method 120 of Fig. 5, and it comprises the enquirement pattern that is known as " advantages/disadvantages ".In this method, media file is asked user 34 several relevant problems of advantages/disadvantages with " certain theme " successively, and this causes the user to experience negative emotions.Use in input equipment such as keyboard 78, mouse 80 and/or the mike 82, the user can be input to the word or expression of " certain theme " in the computer, and this allows computer that word or expression is inserted in the problem.System 30 can also have file destination, and this file destination has and the user's that shows together about the enquirement pattern of target and about the user's of target relaxation level data mission statements.As an example, the user has the problem relevant with control, such as fearing late airline operation.In this example, the user can import and be similar to " fearing late flight " conduct " certain theme ".
Can alternately relevant serial problem with merits and demerits, by the lowland is stable as far as possible, that is have loosening of maximum up to the state that loosens or other PTES.Method 120 shown in Fig. 5 is from beginning 122 beginnings, advance to step 124 thus, in step 124, program 70 ask user 34 " feel to be subjected to certain subject matter restricted for me what advantages/disadvantages arranged? " program 70 is waited for then by the feedback from the user one of in the input equipment.
Program advances to step 126 then, in step 126, program 70 ask user 34 " security that brings the approval of wanting, the control of wanting or wants? " program 70 waits for that user 34 responds from input equipment, and decipher the user with the sensation in which respond all like " sense of control ".Method 120 advances to step 128 then, in step 128, in this example by ask " you can allow the sort of sense of control of wanting leave? ", program 70 is putd question to the user based on the response that step 128 is provided.In this, method 120 advances to step 130, and in step 130, the signal that sensor device 32 is determined to be concerned about is to determine user 34 relaxation level.Monitor relaxation level, and when making relaxation level be stabilized in its minimum point, media file stops to play.During this time, method 120 advances to step 132, and session is finished.When session was finished, user 34 will feel about the free sense of certain theme.If stay certain undesired emotion remnants, then can repeat this identical process, till the complete freedom of user's realization about this problem.
Said method is the example of " polarity is loosened ", and in described " polarity is loosened ", the guiding avisandum is about the front of certain theme or specific question and negative, up to brains till abandoning aspect the negative emotions that idea generates.Exist other polarity Relaxation Methods to reach other notion and the method for hanging down the idea frequency as " liking/dislike " and help user, they can also be with sensor device as using for the sensor device 32 for the purpose of this description.
Based on the data type and the byte number that send, program 70 is the version of detected electrons module 40 potentially.This information is used for: depend on the availability of merit part at electronic module 40, switch on and off the various merit parts in the program 70.
Use the computer of some type and when using the Radio Link of some type, the incompatibility between wireless receiver 48 and the computer 54 may take place.This incompatibility between the open host controller interface (OHCI) of computer 54 and universal host machine control unit interface (UHCI) chip in the wireless receiver 48 has caused the fault of communication.Program 70 has the sign that detects this specific incompatibility and it is reported to user's ability.Detection scheme is sought the single response from the detection (ping) " P " of wireless receiver 48, and ignores all the following responses to surveying.Program 70 shows mode warning user then, and suggestion is handled incompatibility.
Other accountant, it can comprise the accountant (not shown) based on processor, can use with playing media data 66 and demonstration or indication PTES with sensor device 32.Use the wireless receiver that separates 48 in integrated wireless receiver rather than the insertion computer port, these devices can be connected to sensor device 32.These devices are more portable than computer 54, and the permission user is run through daytime or monitor the PTES level night, allows the user more promptly to liberate subconscious brains.These accountants can comprise the video camera with recorder, are used for data storage and are sent to receptor, look back reactive incident is stored in the time that is used on the storage device after a while.These accountants can also upload to the intensity of reactive incident, these incidents and/or the audio-video record of these incidents in the computer 54, in computer 54, Attachments and Aversions process or other process can be used in the reactivity that reduces or eliminates enduringly about these incidents.
An example of sensor device 32 has been shown in Fig. 6 and 7.Sensor device 32 comprises sensor electrode 36, reference electrode 38 and electronic module 40.Electronic module 40 amplifies 1,000 to 100,000 times with the signal of being concerned about, meanwhile guarantees not amplify the 60Hz noise at any point.Electronic module 40 is isolated with signal and the undesirable electrical activity be concerned about.
In present example, reference electrode 38 is connected to anchor clamps 148, and these anchor clamps 148 are used for reference electrode 38 is attached to user 34 ear 150.Sensor electrode 36 comprises snap-fastener or other spring-loaded device, is used for sensor electrode 36 is attached to headband 42.Headband 42 also comprises pocket, is used for electronic module 40 is contained in the position of user's temples.Headband 42 is examples that are used to keep the elastic cord of sensor electrode and/or electronic module 40, can also use the elastic cord of other type that identical function is provided, and comprises a part that makes elastic cord form medicated cap.
The skin that the erecting device of other type except elastic cord also can be used in towards the user keeps sensor device.Keep the retentivity of sensor electrode can be in 1 to 4 ounce scope towards user's skin.Retentivity for example can be 1.5 ounces.
Another example of erecting device relates to the framework that is similar to spectacle-frame, and this framework keeps sensor electrode towards user's skin.Framework can also be used to support electronic module 40.User 34 wears framework in the mode that the ear and the bridge of the nose by the user support, wherein sensor electrode 36 contact users' skin.
Power supply is connected to other parts in the module 40 by switch 156.Power supply 158 can comprise timing circuit, and this timing circuit makes electronic module 40 be powered certain hour before electric power is disconnected.This feature is left by accident for user 34 and is made the situation of electronic module 40 anastomosing electric power preserve electric power.Electric power 146 is for measuring by local reference, and arrive any with reference to connecting, because sensor circuit 32 use Radio Links 50 of external ground system.
With sensor electrode 36 and user's contact skin ground be placed on will sensing or the measurement brain in the some place of electrical activity.Reference electrode 38 and contact skin ground are placed on the some place of the some small distance that leaves the placement sensor electrode.In present example, this distance is 4 inches, although this distance can be up to about 8 inches.Long length may be added noise to system, because the distance between the amplitude of noise and electronic module and the reference electrode is proportional.Place electronic module 40 to such an extent that approach reference electrode 38.This is in the electromagnetic environment identical with reference electrode 38 electronic module 40, and electronic module 40 capacitively and by mutual inductance is connected to reference electrode 38.Reference electrode 38 and amplifier 168 are coupled in the noise circumstance together, and sensor electrode 36 leaves the signal that the short range measurement of reference electrode is concerned about, to reduce or eliminate the influence of noise to sensor device 32.Reference electrode 38 usefulness leads 166 are connected to the 0V in the power supply 158.
Electrical activity in the sensor electrode 36 sensing user brains, and generate relative voltage signal 160, this voltage signal 160 are the current potentials at the electrical activity at the some place of sensor electrode 36 contact user skins with respect to local reference potential 144.Voltage signal 160 is sent to electronic module 40 from electrode 36 via lead 162. Lead 162 and 166 is connected to electrode 36 and 38 in the mode that does not have welding on conductive surface 152 and 154.Lead 162 is short and practical, and is approximately 3 inches long in present example.When using sensor device 32, make lead 162 leave user's 34 1 segment distances, so that lead 162 does not couple a signal to user 34 or from user's 34 coupled signals.In present example, lead 162 is kept leaving user 34 approximate 1/2 " distance.Except the lead 162 and 166 that extends between module 40 and electrode 36 and 38, there is not the extension of other line, optical fiber or other type to extend, because the structure of these types is tending towards picking up electronic noise from electronic module 40.
Amplifier 168 (Fig. 8 and 11) receives the voltage signal 160 of self-electrode 36 and from the electric power 146 of power supply 158.Single-ended amplifier 168 generates and voltage signal 160 proportional output signals 174.Output signal 174 comprises the signal of being concerned about.In present example, voltage signal 160 is supplied to resistor 170 via lead 162, this resistor 170 is connected to the non-inverting input of the lower powered operational amplifier 172 of high impedance.Output signal 174 is used as the feedback that arrives the inverting input of operational amplifiers 172 by resistor 176 that is connected in parallel and capacitor 178.The inverting input of operational amplifier 172 also is connected to reference voltage 144 by resistor 180.
The output lead 184 that amplifier 168 usefulness are transported output signal 174 is connected to three grades of sensor filters 182.Electrical activity or voltage signal 160 amplified by in the level 168 and 182 each, and undesirable signal such as 60Hz and above those signals are then by each decay in these grades.Three grades of sensor filters have three level 206a, 206b and 206c, each all has identical design so that the bandpass filtering function to be provided, this bandpass filtering function allow 1.2 and 12Hz between signal pass through with 5 gain, the signal that is lower than and be higher than these frequencies is then decayed.The bandpass filtering function allows the signal in α and the θ wave band to pass through, and the harmonic wave of noise such as 60Hz and 60Hz is then decayed.Three grades of skews that sensor filter 182 is removed in the signal that is caused by biasing in the parts and skew.In three grades each all is connected to source voltage 146 and reference voltage 144.In three grades each generates output signal 186a, 186b and 186c respectively on output lead 188a, 186b and 188c.
In Fig. 9 and 11, in the first order 206a of three grades of sensor filters 182, output signal 174 is fed to the non-inverting input of first order operational amplifier 190a by resistor 192a and capacitor 194a.Capacitor 196a and another resistor 198a are connected between non-inverting input and the reference voltage 144.The inverting input that is connected to operational amplifier 190a by the resistor 200a that is connected in parallel and capacitor 202a from the feedback of the output signal 186a of the first order.The inverting input of operational amplifier 190a also is connected to reference voltage 144 by resistor 204a.

By the tuning body energy that increases of the interactive electronic of brains
Author: Ray Caamano, Lawrence Crane and Cesar Toscano
Background:
Well-known for many years is that brains has been played the part of the key player in the emotion that any individual experienced.Many people feel the interior in sense of restriction when attempting to pursue one's goal or only be life.The daily experience that represses one's emotion becomes and is accepted as the normal condition that exists, and does not reach individual goal or hope and cause the experience of setback and us can not have our desirable the sort of ever-increasing abandoning.It is true that in fact these sensations or emotion make that these are limited in our nervous system sensation, and we tend to our lived experience is become the mirror image that these repress one's emotion.
The lecture of the audio frequency of writing and writing down of Lester Levenson described in detail about this theme many discoveries---this causes the generation of the process of oneself or nonproductive poll, anyone can both improve people's emotional state enduringly with it.
He is called it " The Sedona Method ".Afterwards, Lawrence Crane had created its version, was called as " The Release Technique ".
Below be new skill method, this skill method can freely guide the individual towards lasting from experiencing these obstacles that repress one's emotion.
At first, in order to pass on this skill method, the common understanding of some word and notion will be necessary to realize.
Brains: as Lester Levenson described it, brains was the total collection of our idea.It is actually huge storage device, just as the hard disk drive in the computer.It stores the everything that we once lived through, and at any time when we think deeply the experience in these past or our current experience and are similar to these a kind of somethings in experiencing in the past, with the experience in the past of resetting of the form of emotion band memory.
Suppress: such mental habit: will make us not wanting or feel that uncomfortable idea squeezes the backstage of our awareness, so that in current consciousness awareness, do not experience them.This causes these ideas to be stored in the brains and has become so-called subconscious brains.When these ideas in being stored in subconscious brains reach remarkable quantity at any special kind apoplexy due to endogenous wind or around any special problem, they just become so-called emotion, experience in daily life randomly or when suitable environmental triggers is called out them in our experience.
Program: the long-standing pattern of idea, wherein great majority are subconscious, end to produce among the individual to repress one's emotion.Program is formed by (attachment) or (detest), and it is defined as follows:
Attachment: keeps close our hope of certain people, place, thing and experience.If will making we and the thing of being reluctant to leave separate, attachment just experiences the emotion misery.
Detest: our hope is left in people, place, thing and the experience that keeps certain.Fear is exactly common detest.If detest will make we us to experience us the situation that it has detest is just experienced the emotion misery.
React: the experience that represses one's emotion among the individual, it also may be owing to certain environmental stimulus causes the inhibition behavior.
Loosen: the psychological process that allows the inhibition idea, the idea pattern that this moment experience and the emotion that causes leave.Inevitable the bringing with the guiding individual of this process causes interferential in the nervous system to repress one's emotion or emotion is worried experiences, and the guiding individual makes nervous system normalization or loosen emotion, on the interferential reason that the individual is concentrated on discovered.
For the restriction of difficulty more, can use the process that is known as " Attachments and Aversions ".After a while this process will be described in further detail.
What in fact take place during loosening is: along with incrementally loosen interference from brains, reduce the idea frequency in brain.The prefrontal lobe district that just in time is positioned at the brain under the forehead becomes more active.High idea frequency causes so-called unhappy or melancholy sensation, and this is the interference in the nervous system.Low idea frequency causes so-called happiness or happy sensation, and this causes normalization or lacks interference in the nervous system.Can measure this level of activation by the overhead new biometric pick off of wearing of EmSense Corporation exploitation based on EEG.
Free: as to re-use the process of loosening by one, up to no longer include suppress idea and be stored in consequent the repressing one's emotion of in the subconscious brains and in nervous system, no longer experiencing them till, and from suppressing the permanent liberation of idea, this inhibition idea has become the undesired emotion of making us that experiences as the part of people's ongoing lived experience.Freely be the liberation fully of subconscious brains.
Existence: existence be described to we without limits, repress one's emotion or by the experience of the natural native mode of the restriction discovered.People may think if emotion no longer exists the individual will be imperceptible what.The experience that the interferential frequency of people's emotion is descended causes the uniformity that increases gradually, happy or happy sensation.This result obviously can be to the huge value of any skill method afford that can bring this.It below is description to the skill that just is intended to be engaged in this.
Make this skill become possibility by the wireless pick off that loosens of biometric by EmSense Corporation exploitation.Use is worn overhead this pick off, personal computer and is integrated in the computer or is inserted into the USB of computer or the receptor in other input port, software part comprises certain interactive merit part, comprise the demonstration of " loosening " level of live and time in the past, and be designed to guide individual by loosening the main body of the listening of process/content viewable data.
