Abstract

A peripheral device for regulating neural correlates of arousal and emotion regulation to be worn or held against the body is disclosed. The device can be triggered by either physiological signs or manual intervention and produces cutaneous signals such as vibration or electricity using novel combinations of physiologically reactive frequencies without effort on the part of the user. One embodiment includes combining sensors that measure changes in physiological signals of stress such as speech rate and pitch, galvanic skin response, or heart rate variability, and, using a machine learning algorithm on personalized data, can determine whether these changes are likely to benefit from regulation. If they are outside an idiosyncratic predetermined range, the device produces stimulation and the person will feel regulated if they are touching / wearing the device, or can choose to use the device if it is not currently being touched or worn.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 316,695, entitled "Emotion Prosthetics," filed April 1, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated by reference way incorporated into this article. [0003] government contract [0004] This invention was made with government support under Grant Numbers MH082998 and MH096334 awarded by the National Institutes of Health and Grant Number IIP-1449702 awarded by the National Science Foundation. The government has certain rights in this invention. technical field [0005] The present application generally relates to devices that can be held against the body or attached to something connected to the body to facilitate changes in at least one of affective state, arousal state, and cognition. Background technique [0006] Stress is a specific global damage problem that has no effective solution around the world. Roug...
