Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for stimulating memory in a person suffering from cerebral degeneration, for example a patient suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
  • the invention more particularly aims to stimulate this memory by association of several information including the patient's sense of smell.
  • Olfactory memory is one of the deepest and most instinctive in humans. Consequently, for a patient suffering from Alzheimer's disease, for example, it may be beneficial to propose programs for reeducation of the faulty memory, notably involving the solicitation of the sense of smell.
  • the invention makes it possible to implement such a process.
  • the invention relates to a device for stimulating memory in a person suffering from cerebral degeneration, for example a patient suffering from Alzheimer's disease, characterized in that it comprises a selector-diffuser of predetermined odorous products and at the less a means of reproduction of information addressed to a sense other than smell and correlated with the odorous products of said selector-diffuser.
  • another means of reproducing information seeking the view, can be a reproducer of images, the images being correlated to the odorous products of the selector-diffuser.
  • Yet another means of reproducing information can be a reproducer of sounds, these sounds being correlated to said odorous products.
  • a personal computer or the like has a screen and a sound card. Therefore, it is advantageous to use such a personal computer and to program it to manage the transmission of said information correlated to the fragrance products of the selector-diffuser.
  • Such a computer can be easily programmed to manage the transmission of this information and to generate control commands of the selector-diffuser to cause the vaporization of a produces a predetermined odor at the same time as reproducing an image and / or a corresponding sound.
  • the selector-diffuser may consist of a plurality of solenoid valves respectively associated with tanks of specific odorous products, preferably in the liquid state.
  • a common compressed air source is connected to the inputs of all solenoid valves. Each output makes it possible to emit an aerosol jet of the selected odorant product when the corresponding solenoid valve is controlled.
  • the single figure is a schematic view of the constituent elements of the device according to the invention.
  • the device 11 for stimulating the memory comprises a conventional computer 13 comprising a central unit 14, a display screen 15 and a control keyboard 16.
  • the computer is equipped with a sound card and a A small speaker 18.
  • the device 11 also comprises a selector-diffuser of predetermined odorous products.
  • this selector-diffuser 20 comprises a plurality of solenoid valves 22a-22f .... respectively associated with tanks 23a-23f of specific odorous products.
  • the outputs of the electro-valves are provided with nozzles 25a-25f for selectively emitting aerosol jets of said product.
  • all the inputs of the solenoid valves are connected to a source of compressed air 30.
  • a control link 32 is established between an interface 33 and the computer 13.
  • the orders produced by the computer are transmitted to the interface .
  • Such an order is representative of a solenoid valve and makes it possible to correlate the visual and / or sound information that is produced simultaneously by the computer and a corresponding selected odor.
  • an operator can control the running of a whole program for broadcasting correlated information including, each time, an odor and an image and / or a sound.
  • the tanks 23a-23f are filled with odorous extracts each reconstituting a precise odor may recall a significant element of the active life of the patient.
  • the structure is preferably modular to be able to have a number of reservoirs and solenoid valves corresponding to the patient's rehabilitation program.
  • the generated odors recall, for example, trades, animals, places characteristic of childhood and active life of the patient. They are chosen, as well as the corresponding images and sounds, according to the patient's past, reconstituted by his relatives.
