Abstract

PURPOSE:To restore the balance of mind and body and to draw out potentiality by grasping an earlobe by electrodes from the inside and outside thereof by the attracting actions of magnets to electrically and mechanically fix said electrodes. CONSTITUTION:Magnets of 1,300 gauss are arranged in electrode parts 2 supporting electrodes 1 and a connection cord 3 is connected to the electrode parts to be finally connected to the main body of a bio-feedback apparatus. As a result, the electrode parts can be mechanically and electrically fixed to an earlobe so as to hold the same therebetween by the actions of the magnets mounted in the electrode parts 2 and not only function merely monitoring a brain wave but also function relieving the stiffness of the shoulders and asthenopia are developed and the balance of main and body can be restored and potentiality can be drawn out.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Applicability] The present invention relates to a biofeedback device that is used to detect alpha waves in brain waves, restore mental and physical balance, and bring out latent abilities.

[Prior Art] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the prior art described above, the biofeedback device only had a function of monitoring brain waves in the fist.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The biofeedback device of the present invention is a biofeedback device that collects brain waves by attaching electrodes to the head and earlobes. It is characterized by being inserted through clothing and electrically and mechanically fixed to the earlobe.

[Operation] The biofeedback device configured as described above has the following effects:
Due to the action of the magnet contained in the electrode part fixed to the earlobe, the fist not only has the function of monitoring brain waves, but also has the function of relieving stiff shoulders and eye strain, and as a result, easing irritation and mental fatigue. Therefore, compared to conventional biofeedback devices, it is more effective in restoring mental and physical balance and bringing out latent abilities.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on Examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[Example] FIG. 1 shows an external view of an electrode attached to the earlobe of the biofeedback device of the present invention. 1 is an electrode that contacts the earlobe. Reference numeral 2 denotes an electrode part that supports the electrode, and a 1300 Gauss magnet is placed inside. 3 is a connection cord, which is connected to the electrode section for the head and finally to the main body of the biofeedback device.

4 is a cord that mechanically and electrically connects the pair of electrode parts.

For reference, Figure 2 shows an external view of an electrode attached to the earlobe of a conventional biofeedback device.

In the biofeedback device of the present invention, by the action of the magnet built into the second electrode part, the electrode part can be fixed mechanically and electrically with the earlobe sandwiched therebetween. (Previously, this was the action of a spring.

As mentioned above, the biofeedback device of the present invention not only has the function of monitoring brain waves in the brain by the action of the magnet included in the electrode part, but also relieves stiff shoulders and eye strain, and as a result, it has the ability to Compared to feedback devices, it was more effective in restoring mental and physical balance and bringing out latent abilities. (Table 1) Table 1 Brain waves were measured for 10 minutes while the same subjects listened to the same music in the same Nori Fresh capsule.

Table 1 shows the time during which alpha waves were detected within 10 minutes.

The data in Table 1 are average values obtained from 10 experiments. As can be seen from Table 1, compared to conventional biofeedback devices, the biofeedback device of the present invention produces more α-waves (which are emitted when the balance of mind and body is restored), and is effective for biofeedback training. The effect was great.

[Effects of the Invention] The biofeedback device of the present invention is a biofeedback device that collects brain waves by attaching electrodes to the head and earlobes. Because it is electrically and mechanically fixed to the earlobe, it has greater effects than conventional biofeedback devices, such as restoring mental and physical balance and bringing out one's potential.
