Figure 1 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of an brain wave induction device according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the brain wave induction device 10 according to one embodiment includes stimulation modules 100 that are set to output stimulation to induce the generation of brain waves from the user and controls the stimulation modules 100. It may include a control unit 200 to do this.

Electroencephalogram is a recording of electrical signals generated by nerve activity within the brain. As different brain regions are activated depending on the activity state of the human body, brain waves in a specific frequency range are generated. Types of brain waves can be classified according to these frequency regions, and brain waves can be detected to check health status or, conversely, specific brain waves can be induced to induce the body into a desired state.

For example, delta waves (1 to 4 Hz) are brain waves that mainly occur during sleep, and can help relieve stress and treat trauma through induction of delta waves. Theta waves (4 to 8 Hz) are brain waves that occur in a state of drowsiness or light sleep, and the induction of theta waves can alleviate symptoms of anxiety or control stress.

Alpha waves (8 to 13 Hz) are brain waves that occur in a relatively relaxed state among the brain's arousal states, and are especially noticeable when the eyes are closed, so they are closely related to the visual area. Alpha waves have a significant impact not only on cognitive abilities such as memory and learning ability, but also on the control of physical states such as the nervous system, gastrointestinal system, and respiratory system, and effects such as a meditation state can be achieved through the induction of alpha waves. Beta waves (13 to 30 Hz) are brain waves that occur prominently during daily cognitive or thinking activities during the brain's arousal state, and the effects of strengthening concentration and thinking ability can be obtained through the induction of beta waves.

Gamma waves (over 30 Hz) are brain waves that occur in states of tension, excitement, or high concentration. When gamma waves increase, cognitive functions and alertness can be strengthened. According to recent research results, it has been revealed that the weakening of gamma waves is closely related to Alzheimer's disease and that artificial induction of gamma waves can alleviate dementia symptoms or improve cognitive ability.

According to one embodiment, the stimulation modules 100 may be set to simultaneously output various types of stimulation to the user in order to induce the generation of brain waves corresponding to a specific frequency region. According to embodiments, types of such stimulation may include sensory stimulation such as visual stimulation, auditory stimulation, tactile stimulation, etc., for example, stimulating the user visually and auditory simultaneously, visual stimulation, auditory stimulation, etc. and tactile stimulation can be simultaneously applied to induce brain waves in a desired frequency range.

There are a plurality of light emitting points 112 in the square display panel, and each light emitting point 112 may correspond to a light emitting diode element or some pixels of the display device.

As shown in FIG. 3A, each light emitting point 112 may emit light to display a plurality of square patterns that gradually become smaller toward the center of the panel. These graphic patterns displayed on the panel can be set in advance to induce specific types of brain waves. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3B, each light-emitting point 112 may sequentially emit light in a predetermined order to induce eye movement of the user. Parameters that determine visual stimulation, such as the order of light emission, blinking speed, and light intensity of the light emitting points 112, may be preset or changed to induce a specific type of brain wave.

Referring again to FIG. 2 , the second stimulation module 120 may include a sound output device that outputs sound according to a control signal from the controller 200.

According to one embodiment, the sound output device may output binaural beats sound sources having different frequencies for each of the user's two ears. To this end, the second stimulation module 120 may include a headset or earphones that can be worn on both ears of the user, or surround speakers installed on both sides. It is possible to induce the generation of brain waves by using these binaural beat sound sources to activate the user's brain in three dimensions. Parameters that determine auditory stimulation, such as sound volume, frequency, and output pattern, can be preset or changed to induce specific types of brain waves.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the third stimulation module 130 may include a current output device that outputs a microcurrent according to a control signal from the controller 200.

According to one embodiment, the current output device includes two metal rods that the user can hold in each hand, each metal rod having a current generating system therein, and generating electricity through tactile stimulation applied to the user's hands. Microcurrent can be output to induce brain waves. The size of the microcurrent is preferably set to 100 microamps or less, and the frequency of the microcurrent ranges from 2 to 3Hz, 5 to 5.8Hz, 10 to 12Hz, 20 to 22Hz and 40 to 45Hz depending on the operating mode of the brain wave induction device. can be selected within.

According to another embodiment, each metal rod is provided with a vibration motor inside, so that additional tactile stimulation can be applied to the user's hand through vibration simultaneously with or separately from the output of the microcurrent. Parameters that determine tactile stimulation, such as the intensity of microcurrent, intensity of vibration, output duration, and output pattern, can be preset or changed to induce specific types of brain waves.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the control unit 200 is a component for controlling the stimulation modules 100, such as a central processing unit, a micro processor unit, and a micro controller unit. It may be composed of at least one chip capable of performing processing and calculation functions, such as a Controller Unit). The control unit 200 is built into the main body 210 shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.

For example, in order to induce the generation of gamma waves that are effective in treating Alzheimer's disease and enhancing cognitive ability, the control unit 200 outputs light with a wavelength of about 600 to 605 nm to the user's eyes through the LED of the visual stimulation module 110. At the same time, sound of a specific frequency is output to both ears of the user through the headset of the auditory stimulation module 120, and a microcurrent of a frequency corresponding to the sound frequency is transmitted to the user's hand through the metal bar of the tactile stimulation module 130. Can be printed. Through this, it is possible to induce the generation of brain waves more easily and quickly than a single type of stimulation by delivering interrelated visual, auditory, and tactile stimulation to the user in three dimensions.

According to one embodiment, the control unit 200 uses the stimulation module to induce the generation of brain waves corresponding to a specific frequency region according to a preset operation mode or to induce sequential generation of two or more brain waves corresponding to each frequency region. 100 can be controlled.

For example, in the first operation mode (e.g., exercise mode), a first control signal for inducing the generation of brain waves (e.g., gamma waves) corresponding to the first frequency region is output, and in the second operation mode (e.g., healing mode) ) outputs a second control signal to induce sequential generation of brain waves (e.g., alpha waves, beta waves, and theta waves) corresponding to the second, third, and fourth frequency regions, and a third operation mode (e.g., In resting mode), a third control signal is output to induce sequential generation of brain waves (e.g., beta waves) corresponding to the third frequency region and brain waves (e.g., alpha waves) corresponding to the second frequency region, and In the 4 operation mode (eg, sleep mode), the stimulation modules can be controlled by outputting a fourth control signal to induce the generation of brain waves (eg, delta waves) corresponding to the fifth frequency region.

As such, the brain wave induction device according to this embodiment does not simply generate one type of brain wave, but can sequentially generate several types of brain waves, so it can be used not only for the prevention/treatment of Alzheimer's disease, but also for deep sleep or rest, or for work or study.

According to one embodiment, LED units (L8 to L10) are disposed on the top of the button unit (B4), and each LED unit (L8 to L10) may light up in response to the operation selection of the first stimulation module.

According to one embodiment, the user can switch the operation of the stimulation modules to the start state or the pause state through the button unit B5. For example, the user can start the stimulation output of some or all stimulation modules by pressing the button B5 while the stimulation modules are in operation, and press the button B5 while the stimulation modules are in operation to stimulate all stimulation.

The modules 100 can be further controlled. Additionally, if sufficient brain waves are generated through changes in stimulation, the stimulation parameters at this time can be saved to create a personalized brain stimulation map. Through this stimulus-detection feedback system and customization, users can more easily generate target brain waves.
