Embodiment 1

[0078] image 3 is a schematic diagram showing a user terminal according to the first embodiment. Such as image 3 As shown, the user terminal 20 according to the first embodiment is a headgear type. The user terminal 20 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape that can be arranged (wearable) on the head H of the user. exist image 3 In the figure, it is shown that the detection terminal part 22 of the biological contact part 21 is disposed at positions corresponding to the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and posterior temporal lobe of the brain, and the stimulation terminal part 23 of the biological contact part 21 is disposed at the temple. The communication unit 24, the control unit 25, and the power supply unit 26 are arranged on the pillow part, but the arrangement of each part is not limited to this.

[0079] exist image 3 In the illustrated headgear-type user terminal 20 , since the user's entire head H is covered, it can be worn in a stable st...

Embodiment 2

[0081] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing a user terminal according to the second embodiment. Such as Figure 4 As shown, the user terminal 30 according to the second embodiment is a hair accessory type. The user terminal 30 is made of, for example, plastic or the like, formed in a substantially C-shape with elasticity, and worn so as to cover the top of the head from the user's temples (behind the ears). The detection terminal unit 22 and the stimulation terminal unit 23 or the communication unit 24 , the control unit 25 , and the power supply unit 26 are disposed on the side in contact with the user's head H along a substantially C-shape.

[0082] Figure 4 The illustrated hair accessory-type user terminal 30 looks like an accessory, so it doesn't look out of place even if it is worn indoors, even if it is worn outdoors. However, since the shape does not cover the entire head H of the user, the arrangement positions of the detection terminal portion 22 and the stim...

Embodiment 3

[0084] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing a user terminal according to the third embodiment. Such as Figure 5 As shown, the user terminal 31 according to the third embodiment is a wig type. The detection terminal unit 22 and the stimulation terminal unit 23 or the communication unit 24 , the control unit 25 , and the power supply unit 26 are disposed inside the user terminal 31 (the side in contact with the user's head H).

[0085] The user terminal 31 can be said to be a user terminal in which hair is placed on the outside of the headgear-type user terminal 20 according to the first embodiment. In the user terminal 31, as in the first embodiment, the entire head H of the user is covered, so that the detection terminal portion 22 and the stimulation terminal portion 23 can be respectively arranged at optimal positions. In addition, since the user terminal 31 is a wig type, it can be worn indoors or outdoors.

Abstract

Provided is an assistance device for assisting the improvement of mental aspects of a user by applying a stimulus suitable for the activity state of the brain. An assistance device (1) has: a data acquisition unit (17) for acquiring brain activity data of a user; a stimulus imparting unit (18) for applying electromagnetic stimuli corresponding to the brain activity data to the head of the user; and a brain wave storage unit (15) for storing changes in the brain activity data. The assistance device (1) is configured such that, when acquiring the brain activity data, an electromagnetic stimuluswhich changes prescribed parameters in the brain activity data is imparted, in particular an electromagnetic stimulus with which the intensity of alpha waves tends to increase.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an auxiliary device and a user terminal. Background technique [0002] There is disclosed a device (headband) that is attached to a user's head and activates the brain by stimulating the brain to maintain health (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, a magnetic piece and an aluminum piece are installed on the headband, and the blood circulation in the brain can be promoted through the action of the magnet, and stimulation can be given to the brain through the action of the aluminum, thereby realizing the brain activation of the user. . [0003] prior art literature [0004] patent documents [0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-278733 [0006] In addition, by giving stimulation that adapts to the activity state of the brain of different users, not only health can be maintained, but also the improvement of the user's mentality can be expected, for example, by enhancing the willp...
