Apparatus, method and computer program product to produce or direct movements in synergic timed correlation with physiological activity

Abstract

An apparatus and method is presented for promoting movements of a subject in synergic timed correlation with physiological activity. The apparatus includes a synergic programs module that directs the movements in a temporally varying fashion. The synergic programs module causes generation of at least one signal, stimulus, or force, where the movements are performed in response to the at least one signal, stimulus, or force, where each of the at least one signal, stimulus, or force is determined so as to reduce meaning and / or emotional content to the subject, where each signal and stimulus is from a pool that comprises signals and stimuli that are sensorially understandable or recognizable by the subject, and where timing of the movements is based on at least a primary correlation factor and a secondary correlation factor. The primary correlation factor is determined so that the movements are synchronized with referential points of an intrinsically variable cyclical physiological activity. The secondary correlation factor is determined based on (a) fluctuations based on results of a first function; and (b) fluctuations based on a quantity of cycles of the physiological activity elapsing between any two of the movements or any two groupings of the movements, where the quantity of cycles is based on results of a second function.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to meeting the need to facilitate or enhance biological muscular motor performance in some human activities. In particular, the invention relates to fulfilling the needs of a potential subject for an increased level of cooperation between one or more of her / his body parts having a visceral cycle function during the performance or realization of an activity. More precisely, from the many possible embodiments of the invention, the possible usefulness of some of these embodiments for the treatment of many human diseases including learning disabilities in general and dyslexia in particular can be investigated. Background technique [0002] Presently, representations of mental life are indicated by machine metaphors, in which the brain is seen by many as an advanced computer whose software is intelligence. Cognitive psychology views intelligence as big software that manipulates representations from the environment as...

In other words, dyslexic children show less sensitivity to the 'transient processing' of information

We can see that the lack of self-organization in sensorimotor movement, together with the dysfunction of timing perception of stimuli, leads to confusion in signal discrimination
