Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum stimulieren eines Menschens während einer Musikdarbietung, einer Therapie, einer Rekreation, eines Lerntrainings od. dgl., sowie eine Vorrichtung hierfür.The invention relates to a method for stimulating a During a music performance, therapy, a recreation, learning training or the like, as well as a Device for this.
Es ist bekannt, einen Zuhörer durch Musik zu stimulieren und ihn beispielsweise auch in Trance zu versetzen. Es ist auch bekannt, daß diese Musik beispielsweise von einem Computer gesteuert wird. Diese Musik kann nicht nur zur Unterhaltung dienen, sondern auch der Therapie oder Rekreation. Auch bestimmte Sprachlernsysteme arbeiten mit Musik, wobei der Zuhörer vorher über die Musik in eine bessere Lage versetzt wird, den zu lernenden Stoff aufzunehmen.It is known to stimulate a listener through music and put him in a trance, for example. It is also known that this music, for example, from a Computer is controlled. This music can not only be used for Serve entertainment, but also therapy or Recreation. Certain language learning systems also work with Music, with the listener beforehand regarding the music in a better position is placed, the material to be learned to record.
Bekannt sind auch Lichtorgeleffekte zum stimulieren des Menschen, wobei bestimmt Audiosignale auf ihr Frequenz spektrum hin analysiert und zu Lichtsignalen verarbeitet werden.Light organ effects for stimulating the are also known People, being determined by audio signals on their frequency spectrum analyzed and processed into light signals become.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Stimulation des Menschen zu verbessern und vor allem stimulierende Therapien und Rekreationen intensiver zugestalten.The present invention is based on the object Improve human stimulation and above all stimulating therapies and recreations more intense to design.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, daß auf zumindest ein geschlossenes Auge stroboskopähnlich Lichtimpulse aufge bracht werden.To solve this problem, that leads to at least one closed eye stroboscope-like light impulses be brought.
Der Vorteil ist, daß auf der Netzhaut des Zuhörers geometrische, meist farbige Muster entstehen, die sich entsprechend den Lichtimpulsen ändern. Die Änderung soll bevorzugt synchron mit der Änderung der Musik geschehen, allerdings werden die entsprechenden Steuersignale für die Lichtimpulse unabhängig von der Musik getriggert, was unterschiedlich zu dem bekannten Lichtorgeleffekt ist.The advantage is that on the retina of the listener Geometric, mostly colored patterns emerge that stand out change according to the light impulses. The change is supposed to preferably happen in sync with the change in music, however, the corresponding control signals for the Light impulses triggered whatever the music is different from the known light organ effect.
Somit wird bei dem vorliegenden Verfahren im bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel die Behandlung des Menschen mit Audiosignalen und Lichtimpulsen gekoppelt. Allerdings soll vom Erfindungsgedanken auch das alleinige Aufbringen der Lichtimpulse auf ein geschlossenes Auge umfaßt sein.Thus, the present method is preferred Embodiment treatment of people with Audio signals and light pulses coupled. However, should from the idea of the invention also the sole application of the Light impulses on a closed eye should be included.
Die Steuerimpulse für die Lichtimpulse werden in einem Audio-Player codiert. Hierzu bietet sich jedes Gerät an, welches mit einem Tonträger arbeitet, der von einem Audio- Master kopiert ist. Heute dürfte dies vor allem ein CD- Player sein, welcher mit einer Compakt-Disc, einer Digital- Compakt-Cassette od. dgl. arbeitet. Diese Tonträger sind dann extra codiert, um den synesthetischen Effekt genießen zu können. Die Steuerimpulse für ein nachfolgendes Interface sind entweder auf der digitalen Ebene (z. B. Subcode) oder im unhörbaren Audiobereich (19.2 KHz) codiert.The control impulses for the light impulses are in one Encoded audio player. Every device is suitable for this, which works with a sound carrier, which is from an audio Master is copied. Today, this is likely to be a CD Be a player with a compact disc, a digital Compact cassette or the like works. These are sound carriers then specially coded to enjoy the synesthetic effect to be able to. The control pulses for a subsequent one Interface are either at the digital level (e.g. Subcode) or in the inaudible audio range (19.2 KHz) coded.
Dieses erfindungsgemäße Interface wird bei der vorliegenden Erfindung als Audiostrobe-Interface bezeichnet, da sowohl Audiosignale vom Player weitergeleitet als auch stroboskopähnlich Lichtimpulse erzeugt. Hierzu decodiert das Audiostrobe-Interface die Steuerimpulse aus dem Audio- Master und triggert damit beispielsweise eine spezielle Brille mit Leuchtdioden für die Augen des Zuhörers und leitet gleichzeitig Audiosignale an einen Stereokopfhörer. Die Audiosignale können allerdings auch direkt vom Audio- Player kommen und werden dann lediglich durch das Interface durchgeschleift. Als Brille kann auch eine solche mit Flüssigkristallen od. dgl. verwendet werden.This interface according to the invention is in the present Invention called the audio strobe interface because both Audio signals relayed from the player as well Strobe-like light pulses generated. Decoded for this the audio strobe interface the control impulses from the audio Master and thus triggers a special one, for example Glasses with LEDs for the eyes of the listener and simultaneously sends audio signals to stereo headphones. However, the audio signals can also be sent directly from the audio Players come and are only through the interface looped through. You can also wear glasses like this Liquid crystals or the like can be used.
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil liegt darin, daß die entsprechenden Steuersignale für das Audiostrobe-Interface schon auf dem Tonträger codiert sind, so daß die Lichtimpulse unabhängig von der Musik getriggert werden. Es ist somit möglich, gezielt gewünschte Audiosignale und davon unabhängig gewünschte Lichtimpulse zu erzeugen, d. h., daß sowohl die Musik als auch das Licht kompensiert wird.A major advantage is that the corresponding control signals for the audio strobe interface are already encoded on the sound carrier, so that the Light pulses can be triggered regardless of the music. It is thus possible to target desired audio signals and independently generate desired light pulses, d. H., that both the music and the light are compensated.
Die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der vorliegenden Erfindung liegen zum einen in der normalen Musikunterhaltung, wobei sie privat oder in Gruppen, beispielsweise in Diskotheken, geschehen kann. In Diskotheken werden dann anstelle von Brillen mit Leuchtdioden Blitzstroboskope getriggert.The applications of the present invention are on the one hand in normal music entertainment, whereby them privately or in groups, for example in discos, can happen. In discos then instead of Glasses with light emitting diodes triggered by flashing stroboscopes.
Bevorzugt wird aber die Anwendung bei einer Therapie als preisgünstige Mind-Maschine zur optisch-akkustischen Stimulation, beispielsweise bei der Therapie von Drogenabhängigen, von migräneanfälligen Menschen und bei einer Trance-Induktion. Ferner wird die neue Methode angewandt bei der Rekreation, d. h. bei der Tiefenentspannung beispielsweise in Hotels und Saunas und bei Lernkursen, wie beispielsweise Sprachkursen, Mentaltraining, Streßmanagement usw . . However, use in therapy is preferred as Inexpensive mind machine for optical-acoustic Stimulation, for example in the therapy of Drug addicts, migraine-prone people and at a trance induction. Furthermore, the new method applied in recreation, d. H. in the Deep relaxation, for example in hotels and saunas and in learning courses, such as language courses, Mental training, stress management etc. .
Weitere Vorteile Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele sowie anhand der Zeichnung; diese zeigt in ihrer einzigen Figur eine blockschaltbildliche Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Stimulieren eines Menschen während einer Musikdarbietung od. dgl.Further advantages Features and details of the invention result from the following description more preferred Exemplary embodiments and with reference to the drawing; these shows in its single figure a block diagram Representation of an inventive device for Stimulating a person during a music performance or the like

Bevorzugt kann dieser Audio-Player mit einem digitalen Tonträger arbeiten, beispielsweise mit einer Compakt-Disc, einer Digital- Compakt-Cassette od. dgl. Auf diesem Tonträger befinden sich Informationen von einem Audio-Master, welche Steuerimpulse an ein Interface 2 aussenden. Dieses Interface wird im folgenden als Audiostrobe-Interface bezeichnet, da die Steuerimpulse in dem Interface decodiert und in Audiosignale sowie Lichtimpulse umgesetzt werden, welche denjenigen Lichtimpulse aus einer Stroboskoplampe ähneln. Hierbei triggert das Audiostrobe-Interface im bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel eine spezielle Brille 3, mit nicht näher gezeigten Leuchtdioden und leitet das Audiosignal an einen Stereokopfhörer 4.A device according to the invention for stimulating a human being during a music performance, therapy, recreation, learning training or the like has an audio player 1 , which can be, for example, a digital audio tape, a CD player or the like . This audio player can preferably work with a digital sound carrier, for example with a compact disc, a digital compact cassette or the like. This sound carrier contains information from an audio master which send control pulses to an interface 2 . This interface is referred to below as the audio strobe interface, since the control pulses in the interface are decoded and converted into audio signals and light pulses which are similar to those light pulses from a stroboscopic lamp. In the preferred exemplary embodiment, the audio strobe interface triggers special glasses 3 with light-emitting diodes (not shown in more detail) and forwards the audio signal to a stereo headphone 4 .
