Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for brain training against forgetfulness in humans even in the preliminary stage in the case of "presenile dementia", age-related deterioration of the mental faculties up to the stupor due to loss of brain tissue; it also relates to a device for carrying it out.

  • the transmission of feelings such as hygiene, relaxation and appetite stimulation with fragrance notes is already being practiced. People's memories and reactions to a particular fragrance are uneven.
  • the perception of a scent by humans, as in color recognition, is only possible by reference to experience and experience; if there is no connection with an experience, a scent is not perceived.
  • the known fragrance note substances are perfumes; they are aqueous-alcoholic solutions of animal or synthetic, predominantly vegetable fragrances; they also contain a fixator, which is intended to ensure that the fragrance sticks to the perfumed object for a longer time. There is also a large selection of flavorings that are often used in food production. The aroma notes are also based on human experiences.

  • a rapid change in the fragrance in the room has a stimulating effect, the source of each fragrance being unconsciously recalled; however, a rapid change must not lead to a mixing of the individual fragrance notes. Therefore, only a few fragrance note changes per hour should take place in an average ventilated room.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de gymnastique cérébrale permettant de lutter contre le manque de mémoire, même à son premier stade, chez l'homme, en cas de 'démence présénile', ou d'affaiblissement des facultés intellectuelles dû à la vieillesse, ou même pour lutter contre la démence dûe à une détérioration du tissu cérébral. Selon l'invention, il est possible d'entraîner l'activité cérébrale au moyen d'odeurs spéciales que l'on fait varier, en réveillant des souvenirs relatifs à une expérience particulière de référence. A cet effet, est également décrit un dispositif au moyen duquel des odeurs non mélangées peuvent être émises, avec des changements d'odeur relativement rapides, dans une pièce, et comprenant un conduit à air (11, 12, 13), un ventilateur (2), un filtre à air (3) et une pluralité de récipients (4) séparés contenant chacun une substance dégageant un arôme ou une odeur. Les molécules d'une des substances odorantes peuvent être mélangées à l'air s'écoulant à travers le conduit (12) en un temps relativement court et être évacuées avec celui-ci, les odeurs pouvant être changées rapidement.
