Benefits of technology
Enables more effective stress exposure training by allowing adjustable pain stimuli and vibrations, enhancing training realism and preparing trainees for acute stress situations by tailoring the pain penalty to individual performance and stress levels.
Problems solved by technology
Various research has shown that, for some tasks, normal training procedures (training conducted under normal, non-stress conditions) often do not improve task performance when the task was to be performed under stress conditions.
These results suggest that, under certain conditions, the transfer of training from classroom conditions to operational conditions may be poor when there are no stress-inclusive simulations or training.
For years, non lethal training ammunition has been utilized to cause a pain penalty when the round strikes the trainee.
Neither of these types of products currently utilize a pain penalty for improper performance.
As mentioned above, this severely limits the creation of stress during training and will not adequately prepare the students for real world encounters where they would be under acute stress.
The major limitation of these products is that they are designed to deliver the exact same pain penalty regardless of the student's level of performance under stress as in computer screen based simulators and known shock devices or no pain penalty at all is provided as in the MILES™ gear or training IED's.

Embodiment Construction
[0056]Referring to the accompanying figures, there is illustrated a shock signal controller 10 for use in various forms of stress exposure training. The controller 10 is provided in the form of a control module which connects between an activation device 12 and an electrical impulse device 14.
[0057]The activation device 12 may comprise a dedicated device associated with the control module, or in alternative arrangements the activation device may comprise a component of an existing stress exposure training system. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the control module may be used with an activation device in the form of a laser based training system including laser sensors worn by users which detect laser pulses from a laser weapon carried by a separate user as described in further detail below, or with MILES™ training gear as shown in FIG. 10.
[0058]Alternatively, the activation device may comprise a video simulation training system 16, a simulated explosive device 18 or an operator rem...

A control module used in combination with an activation device for generating an activation signal in response to a stress exposure training event and an electrical impulse device for delivering an electrical shock to the user. The control module has a housing for being carried on the user. The module includes a controller function which sends a shock signal to the impulse device to shock the user according to prescribed shock criteria in response to an activation signal. The control module can be used with various activation devices including light-based force-on-force training or video shoot-back simulations. An operator input of the controller enables the prescribed shock criteria stored on the controller which is carried on the user to be adjusted by an operator directly at the module or remotely.
Description
[0001]This application is a continuation of US parent application Ser. No. 13 / 314,833, filed Dec. 8, 2011 which claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 459,220, filed Dec. 9, 2010.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a modular controller which communicates between an electrical impulse device arranged to generate an electrical shock applied to a trainee and an activation device for activating electrical impulse device in response to a prescribed condition encountered in stress exposure training, and more particularly the present invention relates to a modular controller in which the electrical shock is generated according to prescribed shock criteria which is adjustable by an operator at the controller.BACKGROUND[0003]Various research has shown that, for some tasks, normal training procedures (training conducted under normal, non-stress conditions) often do not improve task performance when the task was to be perf...
