Abstract

The present invention relates to a brain activation device for stimulating the brain by vibrating the brain function.

The human brain only uses about 3% of its life, leaving 97% of the time to death. Developing this sleeping brain is important for promoting health and creativity. Recently, there has been great achievements in brain research, such as confirming that the human brain can be activated by giving constant stimulation to the brain. In particular, it has been clarified by the study of cerebral physiology that the electrical vibrations in the human brain show rhythmic and beautiful waveforms, or α waves, with a frequency of 10 ± 2 Hz. In this state, the human brain is activated, intuition, creativity is more likely to appear, concentration and memory are improved. After all, a person must be in control of the α wave so that his brain power such as originality and imagination can be exercised. In the past, as a method of brain activation, the state of α wave dominance can be generated by mental training such as meditation, but this method is not easy for anyone to achieve. To this end, various devices developed for this purpose have attempted to achieve brain activation through hearing, vision, and electromagnetic stimulation during human five sense stimulation, but there are problems such as low efficiency and inconvenience in use.

According to the vibration generating principle of attaching a biasing weight to a rotating shaft of a micro motor, the present invention stimulates the brain in an inactive state by making the brain into an α-wave dominant state with skin sensation stimulation of each brain region. It relates to a brain activation device that can increase the memory and learning ability by activating the brain function. This device is characterized by easy use and high efficiency. In particular, it will be an invention of the new concept of purifying the brain by applying the energy exchange between the living organisms that supply the brain by inserting seeds, which can be called total aggregates of living organisms. After all, the present invention has the purpose of utilizing the vibrational stimulation and the life effect of the seed, which is a living body, to activate the brain, that is, to have rich inspiration and creativity, and to obtain the effect of doubling the learning (work) efficiency.

Description

Brain activation apparatus using a vibration stimulation method

The present invention relates to a brain activation device, by controlling the vibration principle of the micromotor and the rotational time of the motor to adjust the frequency of vibration to α wave level and to stimulate the brain using a vibration generating motor attached to the band The vibration stimulating effect is combined with the principle of seed therapy, which is an aggregate of living organisms, and relates to a device for stimulating and activating the brain in an inactive state by amplifying the positive effects of the vibrating itself and seeds.

The principle of seed therapy can be found in the literature of the orthodontic and herbaceous species, as is the case of disease treatment using seeds (headache, head weight, blood pressure, heat and facial relaxation). It has a principle of replenishment that exchanges the wages of our bodies and the bodies of our bodies to receive the infinite vitality of seeds in our bodies and allow the seeds to absorb and eliminate the bad energy of our bodies. Therefore, seeds with life in the band of the present invention, in particular, mungbean medicinal beans known to be good for the brain based on past literature, rats, buckwheat, morning glory seeds, aussie, etc. By grafting, the human brain is cleared like Myung-Kyung index, which activates brain function, increases learning (work) ability and memory beyond effort.

Looking at the prior art in the field related to the present invention. The United States includes Brain Synchronizer (Developed Research Research Circuit), IQ Inner Quest (developed by Dr. WA Robinson), and Esprit (developed by Dr. Robert Austin), and Germany developed by Mind Activator (Bittner). ) 'And' Theta (developed by Dr. Karl Heinz Gelsen). Near Japan, there are Paramemory (development of Dr. Park's Ph.D.) and Alpha Coil (Dr. Hashimotogen Development), and Korea's MC Square (Development of Light and Sound Research Institute) and Super IQ (Dr. Heesun Park) ) ' Dual Esprit, IQ Inner Quest, Brain Synchizer, Mind Activator, Theta, and MC Square products all work together to stimulate the ear's hearing, the eye's vision, or both. In other words, by stimulating the ear's hearing with music or sound of a certain frequency, it activates the brain's memory center or by intermittently illuminating the light of a certain color (frequency) to the eye to achieve the brain's activation. The disadvantage of the specific frequency and color devices as described above is that the sound or light waves specific to hearing or vision are very weak in energy. Therefore, the stimulation to the brain is minimal. In addition, it is known that the user's result is that the power of stimulation of the brain is weak and easily habitualized and its effect is weakened as it is used. Rather than stimulating the entire brain, there is a problem of stimulating only some of the brain related to the senses, such as vision or hearing.

Moreover, if the intensity of sound and light is high, the hearing or vision is excessively stimulated, and the brain is excited and the safety state is broken. Another problem is that other information from the outside is blocked in terms of blocking ears. They can't open their eyes by covering their eyes and firing strong light.

Therefore, reading becomes impossible and there is a drawback that only a short time is maintained when a device is removed even after prolonged stimulation. These devices are somewhat effective in the regulation of physical relaxation sleep, but there are some problems in maximizing learning ability. Another device, Paramemory, sends sounds with different frequencies to the right and left ears, synthesizing in the brain's center and perceived as a roaring cry. By focusing on the technical theory that resonance occurs and the right brain is activated. This also has problems similar to those mentioned above. The α coil and super IQ have almost the same principle, and in detail, by applying a coil around the head to generate a special pulsed electromagnetic field, It maintains a voltage at the same frequency as the pulsed electromagnetic field inside the brain to make it resonate with the α wave and induce it into a state where the α wave is likely to occur. This activates the brain cells and results in a mentally stable unification state. However, this device sometimes shows severe headache symptoms depending on the user, and in actual use, it is used with great expectation at the beginning of purchase, but unlike the expectation, the difference is insignificant or rarely felt and often disappointed. So, after a while, there are problems that are mostly withered and are not used as expectations.

Recently, many students are suffering from physical, mental and psychological pressure and stress such as ill health, loss of self-confidence and anxiety due to unilateral entrance examination, environmental pollution and intake of instant food in middle and high school. In the generalized situation, it is absolutely necessary to remove and solve it.

Therefore, the present invention can adjust the brain wave of human brain to α wave level by stimulating the human brain with micro-vibration, which can activate brain function efficiently in a short time and improve memory and learning (work) ability. Aims to that technical challenge. It also includes activating brain functions by amplifying the effects of seeds with infinite vitality into microvibrations.

According to FIG. 1 , the brain activation device includes a headband (B) on which a vibration generating motor (V) and a seed (S) are mounted, a connector (C), a function key (F), and an on / off switch for controlling the function of the apparatus.

Figure 2 shows in more detail the conceptual diagram of Figure 1 , the apparatus of the present invention is a power supply unit (①) for supplying power to the circuit and the micro-motor for vibration, and vibration intensity setting unit for setting the vibration intensity of each brain region differently (②), the microcomputer part (③) that receives the vibration intensity setting value and performs the signal processing to control the rotation of the micromotor to each brain region, and the signal which can drive the motor by receiving the output signal of the microcomputer. It consists of an amplification part ④ for amplifying and driving a motor, and a vibration generating motor part ⑤ for providing fine vibration to four parts of the brain (frontal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe (left) and temporal lobe (right)).

A circuit diagram and an operation control function can be represented as shown in FIG. Control principle of the brain vibrators is set as a number in the range 0-9 by using a digital switch of Figure 3 ⑥. That is, the vibration intensity is controlled in 10 steps. The set number is input to the microcomputer 7 in FIG. 3 to convert this value to 0 to 90%. This percentage value determines the time to rotate the micromotor. The brain oscillator rotates the micromotor 0.2 to 20 times per second. At this time, the rotational time of the micromotor is controlled by controlling the rotation time of the micromotor once. Therefore, the vibration intensity can be controlled by controlling the average rotational speed of the micromotor per second. 4 shows a signal for driving the micromotor.

And a control using a square wave pulse of the same 0.2~20Hz in FIG. At this time, by controlling the micromotor driving time 으로 by controlling the micromotor driving time 으로 by the pulse width of the square wave, that is, the micromotor driving time ⑬ as a percentage of the one-cycle time 의 of the square wave, the micromotor rotation time is controlled by controlling the micromotor rotation speed. do.

⑧ in Fig. 3 by the driving of Figure 3 amplifies the micro-motor control signal output from the microcomputer of the ⑦ ⑨ drives the vibrating micro-motor. The micromotor of Fig. 3 is driven by ⑨, the maximum rotational speed per minute is 6500 (revolutions per minute: RPM), the required voltage is 1.0 V, the consumption current is 60 mA and the power consumption is a low power consumption motor of 60 mW. .

According to the state of human consciousness, the EEG classifies the types of EEG into four types: α, β, θ and ∂ waves. Human brain waves are measured by electroencephalogram (EEG), which is measured in microvolts and frequency per second. The lower the frequency, the lower the subconscious mind, the inner mind, is directed to the unconscious. In particular, in the state of consciousness of the human who reaches the α wave, the confused mind is positive, relaxed and stable, and the stress is reduced. As a result, the capacity and concentration of the mind is increased, and naturally, the confidence and memory are significantly improved. The intermediate alpha wavelength is very suitable for improving learning efficiency and relieving stress.

Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention and its effects are shown by EEG measurement and effectiveness evaluation method. EEG experiments according to the present invention open eyes 3 minutes measurement of the reference EEG (total 180 data based on 1 EEG data per second), 3 minutes of eye stimulation brain experiment by the invention (experimental experiments with 7.5Hz vibration), after stimulation EEG was opened for 3 minutes. The measurement equipment was measured by using EB measurement equipment of IBVA. Figures before and after the experiment of the measurement results represent the EEG change of the first student as shown in Fig . 5 and 6 , the results show that the EEG is more stable after the stimulation than the reference EEG. For reference, the interpretation of the EEG pictures in FIGS . 5 and 6 is as follows.

① Coordinates slanted to the right indicate the measurement time, and the time from the start of measurement is displayed from top to front.

② Coordinates on the left side show the frequency of EEG, and the upper part is near 0Hz and the front part is near 40Hz.

③ The α wave is displayed in red in the range of 8-12 Hz and if the amplitude of red is large in the up and down direction, it indicates that the α wave signal is coming out.

④ In the range of β-wave around 12-40 Hz, the signal strength is strong in order of blue, green, yellow, and pink.

⑤ θ and ∂ waves are also displayed.

In addition, as a result of the measurement of 10 university students, the increase rate of the total brain waves (β-high, β-low, α, θ, ∂ waves) α wave in each time period increased by 17.7% and 1.77% on average. It is shown in Table 2. The increase of α wave above average 1% shows significant difference at 95% confidence level by statistical test results. Moreover, despite the short three-minute vibrational stimulation with the eyes open, which is quite different from the conventionally developed devices, the effect of increasing the α wave is, as the relevant experts in the field are familiar with, proves effective scientific evidence of the superiority of the present invention. It will be material.

<Table 2> Status of α Wave Increase (Unit%)

In addition, the results of the survey of 30 people using the device are shown in Table 3.

<Table 3> Survey Results

In Table 3, the validity (%) was obtained by setting the formula: Effectiveness = Very Effect + Slight Effect + Normal) * 100 / Total. As a result, the effectiveness was more than 63.3%. It can be seen that the improvement is 80%. On the other hand, because it does not stimulate through the eyes or ears, it is possible to learn a foreign language through reading or earphones, as well as the usage is very simple, light and compact, so it is easy to carry.

Moreover, because of its convenient portability, it can be used anytime and anywhere. Power consumption is low, frequency control, time control and vibration intensity can be conveniently controlled. It has excellent effects such as no side effects or harm. Like some electronic medical devices, the wave energy that actually stimulates the brain is weak because it stimulates the skin in a very minute vibration manner instead of directly passing the current through the human body. In particular, the brain stimulus is also the epicenter of vibration by the brain regions of the left and right brains, and the simultaneous or sequential stimulation has the important function that enables the whole brain development through simultaneous development of the left and right brains. As a short time of less than about 3 minutes is applied, it can be said to be a big feature of the present invention in terms of securing sufficient spare time as well as excellence in effect compared with the time required for related related products (several ten minutes). .
