Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a control device for a learning machine that transmits visual learning information and/or auditory learning information.

[Conventional technology]

Learning devices that convey visual or auditory learning information are known.

Learners do not always have sufficient internal preparation and sufficient capacity to accept and retain information. Particularly in an awake state (β-state, an awake state based on cerebral physiology), sufficient learning ability is not always guaranteed. On the other hand, a relaxing state (α- state, a relaxing state based on cerebral physiology)
, the learning ability is significantly greater.

From the above-mentioned viewpoint, there is also known a learning device configured to detect whether the learner is in the α-state or the β-state and operate the learning device when the learner is in the α-state.

However, conventional methods only detect whether or not the learner is in the α-state, and there is nothing that can actively help the learner reach the α-state.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that learners
To provide a control device that not only switches on the learning device when in the - state, but also allows the learner to easily reach the α-state.

[Means for solving problems]

The above-mentioned problems include a transducer that converts pulse resistance, skin resistance, and blood pressure based on internal tension and rhythm into electrical analog signals; and a switching unit disposed after the detector that switches on the learning instrument when the digital signal is input, and a switching unit disposed after the converter that switches on the learning instrument when the analog signal is input. The problem is solved by a control device that is configured to provide a biological feedback effect by providing a signal generator that provides an output signal to a lamp or a speaker in response to this analog signal.

[Operation and effect of the invention]

This controller takes advantage of the fact that better learning ability and attention are obtained in the α-state. The α-state can be determined, for example, by the pulse rate, the respiratory rate or the electrical currents emanating from the brain cortex, where the respiratory rate drops to an average of 7 breaths per minute in the α-state. Utilizing this fact, it is possible to catch the α-state. Also, from a cerebral physiological point of view, the current emitted from the cerebral cortex is 1 in the α-state.
8 to 13 pulses per second, and 13 to 30 pulses in the β-state, can also be used.

In order to make it easier for the learner to enter the α-state, an analog signal of the number of breaths per unit time is instructed visually and/or audibly.This creates a biological feedback effect, which allows the learner to easily Moreover, the α-state can be reached reliably. It is possible to provide a visual and auditory indication of the analog signal in which the learning device that is to transmit the learning information is switched on in parallel with the transmission of the learning information, and this has a great effect.

Other preferred embodiments of the invention are set out in the embodiment section of the appended claims.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below using the drawings.

A converter designated by reference numeral 5 in FIG. 1 converts the student's breathing rate per unit time into a corresponding electrical analog signal Ua and outputs it. The transducer measures the temperature of your breath; when you exhale, it comes into contact with air that has been warmed inside your body, and when you breathe in, it comes into contact with air that is at room temperature. The analog signal Ua fluctuates depending on the strength and rhythm of breathing, and is supplied to the detector 6. This detector 6 determines whether the α-state is reached. Here the detector provides a digital output signal Uda to the switching unit 8,
This switching unit 8 turns on/off a learning device 9 that transmits learning information visually and/or aurally, for example, through a speaker 10 or the like.

At the same time, an analog signal can be fed to a signal generator 11, which controls the lamp 12 or/and the loudspeaker 13 with its rhythm.

FIG. 2 illustrates the construction of the detector 6 according to FIG. The analog signal Ua is supplied to a Schmitt trigger 14, and a pulse waveform is created from the analog signal. This pulse is dual counter 1
6. The output of the counter is connected to AND gate 17. The output of AND gate 17 is connected to the D-input of D flip-flop 18, the output signal of which corresponds to digital signal Uda.

Furthermore, a monoflop 15 is provided, the output of which is connected to the asynchronous reset input of the counter 16 and to the clock input of the D flip-flop 18. Monoflop 15 periodically outputs one pulse per second. This pulse causes D flip
The value at the D-input of flop 18 is loaded into the flip-flop, and at the same time counter 16 returns to a new counter cycle. The counter is α
- Considering the respiration rate of the human body in the state and counting 7 pulses per minute, each output 2 ⁰ , 2 ¹ , 2 ² is “1”
This becomes the output. When the α-state is reached, the AND gate outputs "1", and the output signal of the D flip-flop corresponds to the digital signal and always outputs "1".
