Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gerät zu Stimulation von Probanden.The invention relates to a device for stimulation of subjects.

Derartige Geräte sind zu verschiedenen medizinischen oder therapeutischen Zwecken einsetzbar.Such devices can be used for various medical or therapeutic purposes.

Es sind verschiedene Geräte zur Stimulation bekannt, welche jedoch nicht gewährleisten, dass jeweils ein für das jeweilige Individuum optimales Ergebnis auch in Abhängigkeit von dessen Wünschen erzielt wird.Various devices are known for stimulation, which, however, do not ensure that an optimal result for each individual is achieved depending on his wishes.

Entsprechend besteht der Bedarf ein Gerät zu entwickeln, mittels dessen es möglich ist, eine für den jeweiligen Bedarf des Probanden optimale Wirkung zu erzielen, ohne dass der Proband aktiv tätig werden muss.Accordingly, there is a need to develop a device by means of which it is possible to achieve an optimum effect for the particular needs of the subject without the subject having to take active action.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Gerät mit einer Stimulationsvorrichtung, einem Messgerät zur Messung der Elektroimpulse im menschlichen Gehirn, einem Rechner, über den die Stimulationsvorrichtung in Abhängigkeit der Messwerte des Messgerätes ansteuerbar ist, gelöst. Des Weiteren wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren mit folgenden Schritten gelöst:

  • – Stimulation eines Probanden mittels der Stimulationsvorrichtung
  • – Messen der Gehirnstromaktivität mittels des EEG
  • – Auswerten der Messwerte des EEG
  • – Ansteuern der Stimulationsvorrichtung in Abhängigkeit der Messwerte des EEG.
This object is achieved by a device having a stimulation device, a measuring device for measuring the electrical impulses in the human brain, a computer, via which the stimulation device can be controlled as a function of the measured values of the measuring device. Furthermore, this task is solved by a method with the following steps:
  • - Stimulation of a subject by means of the stimulation device
  • - Measuring the brain current activity by means of the EEG
  • - Evaluation of the measured values of the EEG
  • - Activation of the stimulation device as a function of the measured values of the EEG.

Durch dieses Gerät und dieses Verfahren wird es möglich, die Stimulation am Probanden immer in einem optimierten Bereich durchzuführen, so dass dieser einem maximalem Reiz ausgesetzt ist.This device and method makes it possible to perform the stimulation on the subject always in an optimized range, so that it is exposed to a maximum stimulus.

Vorzugsweise ist die Stimulationsvorrichtung über einen Elektromotor oder einen Elektromagneten steuerbar, wodurch auf einfache Weise eine elektrische Ansteuerung erfolgen kann, so dass Herstell- und Montagekosten verringert werden.Preferably, the stimulation device is controllable via an electric motor or an electromagnet, whereby an electrical control can be carried out in a simple manner, so that manufacturing and assembly costs are reduced.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist die Stimulationsvorrichtung eine Wasserdüse, wobei über den Rechner eine oder mehrere der Komponenten Druck, Wärme, Strahlrichtung oder Impulszeiten regelbar sind. Diese Parameter können einfach über einen elektrischen Regelkreis eingestellt werden. Alternativ kann die Stimulationsvorrichtung elektrische Reizelektroden enthalten.In a preferred embodiment, the stimulation device is a water nozzle, wherein one or more of the components pressure, heat, beam direction or pulse times can be regulated via the computer. These parameters can easily be set via an electrical control circuit. Alternatively, the stimulation device may include electrical stimulation electrodes.

Des Weiteren ist es möglich, dass die Stimulationsvorrichtung ein bewegliches Kunststoff- oder Schaumstoffteil enthält, durch deren Bewegung die Stimulation erfolgt.Furthermore, it is possible that the stimulation device contains a movable plastic or foam part, by the movement of the stimulation takes place.

Denkbar ist auch, dass die Stimulationsvorrichtung visuelle Reize erzeugt. Ein solches Gerät ist besonders einfach aufzubauen, wobei der Rechner sowohl als Reizerzeuger als auch zur Auswertung genutzt werden kann.It is also conceivable that the stimulation device generates visual stimuli. Such a device is particularly simple to build, the computer can be used both as a stimulus generator and for evaluation.

Vorzugsweise ist das Messgerät ein Elektroenzephalogramm. Von diesem ist es bekannt, dass zuverlässige Werte der Hirnstromaktivität abrufbar sind. Insbesondere können durch das EEG aufgenommene Reize genau den Hirnteilen zugeordnet werden, die je nach Anwendung beansprucht werden sollen, wie beispielsweise das Belohnungszentrum des Gehirns.Preferably, the meter is an electroencephalogram. From this it is known that reliable values of the brain current activity are retrievable. In particular, stimuli recorded by the EEG can be accurately assigned to the brain parts that are to be claimed depending on the application, such as the reward center of the brain.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Elektroden des Elektroenzephalogramms in einem Videobrillenbügel oder einem Helm integriert sind. Videobrillen sind ebenso wie Helme im Bereich des Cyberraums bekannt, so dass der Proband keine zusätzlichen Bauteile benötigen würde.It is particularly preferred if the electrodes of the electroencephalogram are integrated in a video strap bracket or a helmet. Video glasses are known as well as helmets in the field of cyberspace, so that the subject would need no additional components.

Weiterhin wäre es möglich, auch den Rechner in den Helm oder den Videobrillenbügel zu integrieren, wodurch die Bauteileanzahl ebenfalls verringert würde.Furthermore, it would be possible to integrate the computer in the helmet or the Videobrillenbügel, whereby the number of components would also be reduced.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausbildung der Erfindung ist das Elektroenzephalogramm mit dem Rechner und/oder der Stimulationsvorrichtung über Kabel, Funk oder über elektromagnetische Wellen gekoppelt. Diese Formen der Übertragung sind erprobt und weisen eine hohe Lebensdauer auf.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the electroencephalogram is coupled to the computer and / or the stimulation device via cable, radio or electromagnetic waves. These forms of transmission have been tested and have a long service life.

In einer Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens werden zunächst im Rechner hinterlegte Muster als Kennfelder zur Stimulation abgefahren und darauf folgend wird die Stimulation mit dem Ergebnis fortgesetzt, welches die höchste Hirnstromaktivität in den relevanten Zonen erzeugt hat. Auf diese Weise wird ständig eine maximale Stimulation sichergestellt.In a further development of the method according to the invention, first patterns stored in the computer are traced as maps for stimulation, and subsequently the stimulation is continued with the result which has produced the highest brain current activity in the relevant zones. In this way, a maximum stimulation is constantly ensured.

In einer weiterführenden Ausführung werden vorab vom Probanden Parameter zur Auswertung der Ergebnisse der Messung des EEG festgelegt, indem Ziele der Stimulation festgelegt werden. Insbesondere können hierbei Pausen der Stimulation, Intervalle oder Gesamtstimulationszeiten festgelegt werden, wodurch die Stimulation entweder schnell oder besonders langsam durchgeführt würde.In a further execution, parameters for evaluating the results of the measurement of the EEG are determined in advance by the subject by setting targets of the stimulation. In particular, pauses of the stimulation, intervals or total stimulation times can be determined, whereby the stimulation would be carried out either quickly or particularly slowly.

Vorzugsweise werden hierzu die Muster mit maximaler, anschwellender oder abschwellender Hirnstromaktivität im Rechner gespeichert, und im Folgenden wiederholt abgefahren werden.For this purpose, the patterns with maximum, swelling or decaying brain current activity are preferably stored in the computer, and are traversed repeatedly in the following.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist kostengünstig herstellbar und kann einem großen Kundenkreis zugänglich gemacht werden. Auch rückgekoppelte Stimulationen zu anderen Probanden sind denkbar. Insbesondere können auf diese Weise Probanden mit Problemen in der Reizaufnahme behandelt werden.Such a device is inexpensive to produce and can be made available to a large circle of customers. Also fed back stimulation to other subjects are conceivable. In particular, in this way subjects can be treated with problems in the stimulus intake.

Dieses Gerät ist insbesondere geeignet zur Stimulation der erogenen Zonen beider Geschlechter, so dass die Gehirnpotentiale vor oder während eines Orgasmus abgegriffen und gespeichert und zur weiteren beziehungsweise folgenden Stimulation genutzt werden können. Dabei wird abgegriffen, in welcher Stellung oder bei welcher Stärke oder welchen Bewegungsmustern ein optimaler Reiz im Gehirn erzeugt wird.This device is particularly suitable for stimulating the erogenous zones of both sexes, so that the brain potentials can be tapped and stored before or during an orgasm and used for further or subsequent stimulation. It is tapped in which position or at which strength or which movement patterns an optimal stimulus is generated in the brain.
