AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for inducing alpha waves and β-endorphin secretion are inconsistent and often require relaxation, self-harm, or exposure to beautiful stimuli, leading to individual differences in effectiveness and a decrease in alpha wave frequency over time.

Method used

A necklace-type device using a storage battery to generate electrical stimulation within the alpha wave frequency range (8-13 Hz), which can be easily worn and adjusted using a Bluetooth-connected mobile application, providing consistent electrical stimuli to the nerves.

Benefits of technology

The device effectively induces alpha waves and β-endorphin secretion in a high percentage of users, as demonstrated by a 90% subjective feeling of lightness and significant β-endorphin secretion, regardless of age or health status.

Abstract

To provide a necklace capable of being easily worn without giving burden to the body or the skin and of transmitting an α wave frequency to the nerves as electric stimulation.SOLUTION: A necklace is provided with a ring form with a rechargeable battery included in the body provided for the ring form as an energy source. The body generates an electric signal having α wave frequency 8 Hertz to 13 Hertz by oscillating electric pulses. The body transmits electric stimulation from the neck part to the nerves by outputting the generated electric signal via a pair of electrodes (4) through a necklace chain part (3). The body outputs the α wave frequency 8 Hertz to 13 Hertz in 30 microvolt to 120 microvolt.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a necklace that emits electrical stimulation of the average alpha waves of healthy young people. [Background technology]

[0002] When alpha waves appear in the human brain, a hormone called beta-endorphin is secreted. Beta-endorphin has excellent medicinal properties, preventing aging and enhancing the body's natural healing ability. It has also been confirmed under a microscope that when natural killer cells, which are famous for fighting cancer, come into contact with beta-endorphin, they undergo a blastogenesis and rejuvenation phenomenon. The opposing hormone, norepinephrine, is a highly toxic hormone that accelerates aging and induces disease, but its secretion stops along with the secretion of beta-endorphin. Beta-endorphin is also known as the brain's morphine, and when secreted it brings about a feeling of euphoria, pain relief, and sedative effects. In order to generate alpha waves, you can relax, engage in self-harm, or see or hear things that you find beautiful, but this varies from person to person and may have the opposite effect. Clinical results have also shown that the frequency of alpha waves decreases with age, decreasing their occurrence rate.

[0003] To control brain waves, there is a treatment for nervous system diseases called deep brain stimulation (DBS), in which holes are drilled into the skull and electrodes are implanted deep in the brain, causing electrical signals to resonate. It has been proven that the brain resonates with electrical stimulation, but the risks are too great for people who are not yet ill. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication 2013-500050 Medical device for electrical stimulation [Non-patent literature]

[0005] [Non-Patent Document 1] "Brain Revolution" by Shigeki Haruyama, Sunmark Publishing, 1995 [Non-Patent Document 2] Shigeki Haruyama, "Brain Revolution 2" Sunmark Publishing, 1996 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The problem to be solved is to make it possible to easily remove the device when it is no longer needed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention is characterized in that it can be made cordless by using a storage battery, making it possible to make it into a necklace type, and it can be easily attached and removed. Effect of the Invention

[0008] As mentioned above, the only ways to secrete alpha waves and beta endorphins were through relaxation, self-harm, seeing or hearing something beautiful, etc., which all vary from person to person. However, the accessory of the present invention can accurately transmit the frequency of alpha waves to the nerves as electrical stimulation, and can be easily worn without putting any strain on the body or skin.

[0009] In order to confirm the effectiveness of the present invention, 10 randomly selected subjects, ranging in age from teenagers to those in their 80s, from healthy people to those with chronic illnesses, were used as subjects. They were asked to wear the necklace of the present invention for 30 minutes in a silent, dark room, exposed only to the stimulation provided by the present invention, and then interviewed about their physical sensations and physical condition.

[0010] As a result, about 90% of the subjects commented that their bodies felt lighter. As shown in Table 1 below, it was confirmed that by wearing the necklace-type accessory of the present invention, beta-endorphins, which are secreted along with alpha waves, were significantly secreted. [Table 1] [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a front view of the entire necklace. [Diagram 2] FIG. [Diagram 3] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Using a storage battery as the energy source, an electrical pulse is generated by a quartz oscillator, the voltage is controlled by a volume, and electrical stimulation is applied to the back of the neck by electrodes placed 4 to 6 cm apart just below the skull at the back of the neck. It is tuned using a mobile application connected via Bluetooth (registered trademark), and operation is confirmed by the LED on the front of the unit. The above-mentioned storage battery, crystal oscillator, volume, and LED are placed on a circuit board and made into a COB chip on-board, making it small and lightweight in a necklace type.

[0013] The total length is 45cm to 70cm, and the necklace chain part is covered with a silicone rubber tube.

[0014] The output is in the alpha wave range of 8 to 13 Hz, at the 30 to 120 microvolts that the human brain constantly produces, and is tuned via a mobile application connected via Bluetooth (registered trademark). EXAMPLES

[0015] Turn on the main unit, tune the output, LED on / off, and LED lighting pattern, and then wear it around your neck. [Industrial Applicability]

[0016] It is lightweight and a necklace type, so it can be worn by people of all ages and genders except when bathing. [Explanation of symbols]
