Description

[0001] MULTI-SENSORY VIDEO-AUDIO THERAPEUTIC SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR

[0002] EMOTIONAL STATE REGULATION

[0003] FIELD OF INVENTION:

[0004] The present disclosure relates to non-invasive therapeutics, specifically to a multi-sensory videoaudio therapeutic platform configured for the regulation of emotional and psychological states.

[0005] BACKGROUND:

[0006] The use of music and sound for therapeutic purposes has gained increasing scientific validation as a method to improve emotional well-being and for addressing a variety of psychological conditions. Traditionally, music therapy involves interaction with a certified therapist who curates personalized treatment plans based on individual needs. However, such interventions are limited in their availability, requiring in-person sessions and professional oversight, which can be both time-consuming and costly.

[0007] Coupling humor to sensory inputs has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood by triggering the release of endorphins. Sensory inputs such as specific color and audio frequencies are known to evoke specific emotional responses. The combination of humor, specific color frequencies, and specific audio frequencies can provide a more comprehensive and effective therapeutic experience than when these modalities are applied separately. Determining an effective combination of therapeutic elements to achieve a specified therapeutic result, and further configuring such a combination to address the individualized needs of a specific user, constitutes a complex task.

[0008] The regulation of emotional states through sensory stimuli - such as auditory, visual, and somatosensory inputs - has become an increasingly significant focus in both scientific research and therapeutic practice. Studies have explored brain activity measurement and analysis to design systems capable of influencing mood and emotional states effectively. Bio-signals, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) data have been widely leveraged in order to assess brainwave patterns and emotional response. Various systems disclosed in the art utilize brainwave pattern measurements and their associated emotional responses to recommend or deliver stimuli - such as music or other sensory inputs - with the goal of modulating the user’s emotional state. Such prior art systems typically focus solely on music as the therapeutic tool or necessitate the use of sensors or other specialized equipment to collect user data and recommend music accordingly. Consequently, the prior art is limited in both the range of stimuli offered, in addition to its practicality and accessibility due to the need for specialized equipment.

[0009] Physical instruments designed to produce specific harmonic frequencies have also been developed for therapeutic purposes aimed at alleviating conditions such as anxiety, depression, and stress. While such an approach offers therapeutic benefits, such approaches are limited to auditory stimuli and do not incorporate additional sensory inputs, such as color frequencies or humor. Further, the reliance on a physical instrument is cumbersome and restricts the accessibility of the therapy.

[0010] Systems for managing emotional regulation through personalized music playlists have also been disclosed, whereby mood assessments and user data are utilized to generate therapeutic playlists tailored to the user’s emotional and physiological states. While effective, such systems are limited by their exclusive reliance on music as a therapeutic medium, thereby excluding additional sensory elements, such as humor or color. This limits the system’s effectiveness in addressing a broader spectrum of emotional and psychological conditions, which could be more comprehensively supported by a multi- sensory approach

[0011] Other systems have been developed to transplant emotional states between individuals by analyzing brainwave patterns and applying sensory stimulation, such as transcranial stimulation, to induce similar emotional experiences in a recipient. Such systems rely on direct brainwave manipulation and invasive techniques to influence emotional states. Such an approach is limited due to its reliance on complex and intrusive methods, thereby conferring practical challenges for widespread use. Further, such systems require obtaining brainwave data by way of invasive stimulation techniques.

[0012] There thus exists a need in the art for a non-invasive system capable of delivering multi-sensory therapy via an accessible format. Such a system should offer an intuitive, user-friendly platform integrating numerous sensory inputs, including music containing sound of specific frequencies, humor, and specific color frequencies, to promote emotional regulation and overall well-being. Further, the system should eliminate the requirement for physical sensors or objects, thereby providing a practical solution, while enhancing therapeutic efficacy through the synergistic effects of multiple sensory modalities.

[0074] Reference is now made to FIG. 2, which schematically illustrates an episode selection process 200 in a multi- sensory therapeutic system, according to some embodiments of the invention. As shown, episode selection process 200 begins with user input 202, comprising information received from user 201 pertaining to the user’s current emotional state, therapeutic objective, or desired outcome. Input 202 is input to user interface module 206 of user device 204.

[0075] According to some embodiments, user input 202 is transmitted to analysis module 207, which analyzes the input and identifies one or more corresponding therapeutic requirements. Based on predefined therapeutic rules and metadata, analysis module 207 selects specific sensory parameters appropriate to the identified need. These parameters may include, for example, color frequency, musical frequency and tempo, and humor. These parameters are selected by color frequency selector 208, musical selector 209 and humor content selector 210 respectively, thereby enabling selection of personalized multi-sensory episode 211. Personalized multi-sensory episode 211 is then transmitted to display and audio output module 205 of user device 204 and is delivered via output 203 to user 201.

[0076] Reference is now made to FIG.3, which schematically illustrates an Al chatbot-based episode recommendation process 300 in the multi-sensory therapeutic system, according to some embodiments of the invention.

[0077] According to some embodiments, user 301 communicates through a user interface module 306 on user device 304, thereby enabling the input of emotional state and desired therapeutic outcome. The input of user 301 is transmitted from user device 304 to Al chatbot 307 which may operate on a cloud- based or local server. According to some embodiments, Al chatbot 307 is configured to analyze the information received from user 301 and determine a therapeutic category corresponding to the user’s needs. Based on the identified category, Al chatbot 307 retrieves one or more matching therapeutic episodes from episode database 308, and multi- sensory episode 309 is transmitted to display and audio output module 305 of user device 304, which delivers the corresponding video-audio content to user 301 via output 303.

[0078] According to some embodiments, the system may present multiple recommended episodes to user 301 for selection through user interface module 306, allowing the user to confirm a preferred option. In other embodiments, the Al chatbot 307 may automatically initiate playback of a recommended episode based on predetermined settings or user preferences.

[0079] According to some embodiments, Al chatbot 307 is equipped with detailed information of the therapeutic categories, including the purpose and target use of each category. By asking a series of tailored questions, the Al evaluates the user's responses and matches them to the appropriate category, then recommends specific episodes that best address the particular challenges the user may be experiencing.

[0080] Reference is now made to FIG. 4, which schematically illustrates exemplary therapeutic episodes and their associated parameters, according to some embodiments of the invention. Each episode entry includes a plurality of defined parameters specifying the auditory, visual, and humor- based characteristics of the corresponding video-audio content. According to some embodiments, each episode comprises a unique therapeutic configuration intended to elicit a targeted emotional or physiological response. For example, the entry titled “Giggle Groove” is characterized by a tempo in the range of 60-145 BPM, Solfeggio tone frequencies in the range of 417-528 Hz, Binaural Beat frequencies in the range of 9- 19Hz, and background colors of yellow, green, and violet, producing an uplifting yet calming effect suitable for the Uplifting and Energizing therapeutic category. Other episodes, such as “Dreamland Delight” are configured for relaxation and sleep, employing lower tempo ranges (60-40 BPM), Solfeggio tones around 963 Hz, Binaural Beat frequencies in the range of 4-lOHz, and blue- vio let color palettes to induce a tranquil state in the user.

[0081] According to some embodiments, the parameters defining each therapeutic episode - such as musical frequency, tempo, color frequency, and humor or animation intensity - may vary dynamically throughout the duration of the episode. In some embodiments, these variations occur in time-defined segments, for example in five-minute intervals across a total episode duration of fifteen minutes. Within each segment, the system may adjust one or more sensory parameters to produce a desired progression, such as transitioning from energizing to calming tones, shifting from warm to cool color frequencies, or varying the frequency and intensity of humorous stimuli

[0082] While the example above refers to an episode duration of approximately fifteen minutes divided into three five-minute segments, this configuration is merely illustrative. In alternative embodiments, therapeutic episodes may be longer or shorter, and parameter transitions may occur at irregular or adaptive intervals based on the prescribed therapeutic vector, user maturity level, or target outcome. According to some embodiments, therapeutic episodes may be organized into nine therapeutic categories, each designed to support specific challenges or difficulties encountered by users, such as physical issues (e.g., pain), emotional concerns (e.g., stress, anxiety), cognition concerns (e.g., concentration, creativity) and social challenges. Each category offers a unique combination of therapeutic elements designed to ensure appropriate support. Selecting the correct category is crucial for achieving the desired outcome. For example, if a user faces sleep difficulties, selecting an episode from the Deep Sleep category will provide relaxation and sleepiness, whereas an episode from the Uplifting and Energizing category could increase alertness, contradicting the desired effect

[0083] According to some embodiments, the Humorica® Therapy Method includes nine therapeutic categories: a) Uplifting and Energizing Episodes: Designed to help children overcome morning sluggishness and resistance to starting the day. b) Restful and Deep Sleep Episodes: Designed to promote restful and deep sleep. c) Relaxation Episodes: Intended to provide comfort and encouragement, offering a relaxing and peaceful experience effectively reducing stress and anxiety. d) Communication Support Episodes: Developed to support children with challenges in effective communication, including speech, language, and social interaction. e) Sensory Support Episodes: Designed for children with sensory sensitivities or processing difficulties, providing a calming sensory environment. f) Cognitive Support Episodes: Aimed at supporting cognitive abilities in children with intellectual or cognitive disabilities affecting learning, memory, attention, and problemsolving skills. g) Emotional and Behavioral Support Episodes: Created to help manage emotional and behavioral challenges, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, aggression, impulsivity, and self-injurious behavior. h) Physical Support Episodes: Designed for children with physical disabilities or impairme nts affecting mobility, coordination, and motor skills, enhancing physical well-being. i) Social Support Episodes: Designed to assist children with social challenges, including making friends, understanding social cues, and managing emotions in social settings.

[0084] According to some embodiments, the Humorica® Therapy Method includes a library ofHumorica episodes, which are digital video-audio tracks that combine music, animations, and color frequencies. Each Humorica episode is structured by a predefined prescription that specifies the appropriate animation scenes, musical frequencies, and color frequencies, each of which is tailored to the episode's therapeutic category to align with its intended goals.

[0085] According some embodiments, the episodes are designed to induce laughter or evoke a smile, activating 17 facial muscles and prompting the release of endorphins, which reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, and relieves pain. The animations utilize simple, easily understood scenes, making them accessible to individuals with lower cognitive abilities. Each scene is selected to target specific therapeutic needs - whether social, physical, emotional, or otherwise - serving as an effective trigger for stress reduction through the positive effects of laughter and smiling. According to some embodiments, each Humorica® Episode is created with a defined therapeutic goal The therapeutic goal aligns with the specific challenges laced by users, guiding the precise construction of each episode based on a detailed “prescription” that defines parameters, including melody instructions, instrument types, special effects, tempo (BPM), general instrument scale tuning, melodic and harmonic scales (major / minor), Solfeggio tone frequencies, binaural beat frequencies, background colors, and animation scenes.

[0086] According to some embodiments, the therapeutic audio content is composed and structured to prevent interference between the musical composition and the embedded therapeutic frequency components. The left and right channel carrier frequencies for the binaural beats are selected such that the resulting differential frequency produces the intended perceptual effect while remaining spectrally distinct from concurrent Solfeggio tones. The system combines Solfeggio frequencies and binaural beats in a controlled manner that preserves the integrity of both signals. For each track, an optimal tonal center is determined to avoid acoustic conflict or unpleasant harmonic overlap between the musical scale and the therapeutic tones.

[0087] According to some embodiments, the preparation of the therapeutic video-audio content further comprises defined stages of musical composition, signal mixing, mastering, and animation design, each configured to preserve the intended emotional- regulation properties and ensure perceptual harmony among the multi-sensory elements. According to some embodiments, the musical architecture adheres to parameters specified by the therapeutic prescription, including mood, tempo, and intensity progression, and is designed to maintain coherence between musical and therapeutic components. Melodic phrases are generally short and repetitive to promote memorability, while harmonic structures are deliberately simplified to avoid excessive tension or cognitive load. The musical texture may incorporate countermelodies, arpeggios, or rhythmic ostinatos to enrich the soundscape while remaining within the tonal and emotional boundaries defined by the corresponding therapeutic category.

[0088] According to some embodiments, vocal and ambient sounds are incorporated from various sources, including professional vocal-based music libraries featuring ancient or foreign chants, recordings of voice actors or vocalists, Al-generated melodic vocal patterns, and additional special effects such as whistles, sea sounds, birdsong, and child or infant laughter.

[0089] According to some embodiments, the therapeutic prescription may specify significant tempo variations across a single episode, such as transitions from 90 to 145 beats per minute (BPM). Such changes require deliberate selection of instruments and melodic structures. Certain instruments are inherently better suited to slower tempos, whereas others perform optimally at higher rhythmic speeds. Instruments and melodic phrasing may be adjusted or substituted during tempo transitions. These adjustments are performed with reference to the corresponding Solfeggio and binaural beat carrier frequencies, ensuring that musical alterations do not introduce tonal conflicts or spectral interference. According to some embodiments, mixing and mastering processes are performed to ensure all sound elements are cohesive, balanced and clear. Compressors, equalizers, limiters, saturators, reverbs, delays, modulation effects, panning, automation, compression and reverbs may be applied in accordance with defined technical parameters to achieve a cohesive and consistent auditory output. The mastering stage ensures that the final stereo mix achieves, for example, appropriate loudness, tonal balance, and dynamic range, while preserving the distinction between therapeutic components.

[0090] According to some embodiments, the video component of each therapeutic episode may comprise humoristic animation scenes specifically designed to elicit laughter and positive emotional engagement. These animations employ simplified, developmentally appropriate humor - such as visual exaggeration, repetition, or slapstick - to accommodate users with diverse cognitive or neurodevelopmental profiles. The humorous content is synchronized with the accompanying auditory elements, facilitating coordinated activation of multiple sensory pathways to reinforce emotional regulation. Color frequencies are integrated within the animation backgrounds in accordance with chromotherapy principles to further influence mood and enhance immersion. The animation style and level of visual complexity may be adapted to the target audience, ranging from basic two-dimensional cartoons to advanced three-dimensional or immersive virtual environments.

[0091] According to some embodiments, Humorica® technology may be integrated into pre-existing children’s content - animated or otherwise - by overlaying therapeutic audio and visual modulation onto standard media assets. This integration allows conventional entertainment to be transformed into a structured therapeutic experience, providing emotional and physiological benefits without altering the original storyline or visual presentation

[0092] Reference is now made to FIG. 5, which schematically illustrates an exemplary timeline of a multi- sensory therapeutic episode, according to some embodiments of the invention Timeline 500 represents the temporal variation of multiple sensory parameters - including special effects, melody, tempo, Solfeggio tone frequency, binaural tone frequency and background color.

[0093] According to some embodiments, the multi-sensory therapeutic episode “Giggle Groove” is divided into three illustrative five-minute segments, each configured to promote a distinct emotional response. During the initial segment (0- 5 minutes), musical tempo and sound- frequency parameters are elevated to stimulate alertness and positive engagement, accompanied by bright background colors such as yellow or green In the intermediate segment (5-10 minutes), the parameters gradually transition toward moderate values, balancing stimulation and relaxation while maintaining light humor and steady rhythm In the final segment (10-15 minutes), the overall auditory and visual energy decreases as the musical tempo slows and binaural- beat differentials narrow, while the accompanying Solfeggio tone transitions from approximately 417 Hz to 528 Hz to reinforce a restorative and harmonizing effect. Concurrently, color frequencies shift toward cooler hues such as blue or violet, and humor cues are reduced in frequency, collectively inducing relaxation and calmness.

[0094] The melody of “Giggle Groove” is structured with a combination of fast, joyful major scales, calm, relaxing minor scales, and a soothing, heavenly major scale, offering both uplifting energy and relaxation at successive intervals. The general instruments are tuned to 432 Hz throughout, a frequency associated with harmonious and naturally resonant tonal qualities. The embedded Solfeggio frequencies progress from approximately 417 Hz to 528 Hz, reflecting a therapeutic shift from activation to restoration - where lower frequencies are used to promote engagement and higher frequencies to reinforce calmness and healing. Binaural beats are also integrated, stimulating different brainwave patterns, from gamma (90 Hz) to beta (23 Hz) and alpha (9 Hz). To enhance the multi-sensory experience, the background colors transition between yellow, green, and violet, selected for their specific psychological and emotional effects. The track is accompanied by synchronized humorous animations, further contributing to the immers ive therapeutic experience.

[0095] While FIG. 5 illustrates three five- minute segments spanning a total duration of fifteen minutes, alternative time frames and segment counts may be employed. In some embodiments, parameter adjustments may occur at shorter, longer, or irregular intervals, and the total episode duration may likewise be varied to accommodate different therapeutic objectives. Timeline demonstrates that the system is configured to modulate auditory, visual, and humor- based parameters dynamically as a function of time, thereby providing a structured progression designed to achieve the desired emotional-regulation outcome.

[0096] Reference is now made to FIG.6, which schematically illustrates an exemplary workflow for constructing a therapeutic prescription, according to some embodiments of the present invention. The illustrated workflow outlines the process by which multi-sensory therapeutic video-audio episodes may be created by defining a structured sequence of parameter- selection and contentgeneration operations.

[0097] According to some embodiments, therapeutic category 601 is selected from a plurality of predefined categories, each category corresponding to a general emotional or developmental objective such as relaxation, sleep enhancement, cognitive focus, or social engagement. In some embodiments, two or more categories may be combined with one or more complementary categories to form a composite therapeutic objective.

[0098] According to some embodiments, Level of Maturity (LM) 602 is determined in accordance with the proprietary Humorica® maturity model, which may include five maturity levels (LM1-LM5). The determined LM level governs, inter alia, the selection of humor typology and animation complexity, thereby tailoring the content to the user’s cognitive and developmental profile.

[0099] According to some embodiments, therapeutic vector 603 determines the temporal trajectory of sensory stimulation and relaxation over the duration of the therapeutic episode and defines how musical tempo, chromatic intensity, and humor frequency evolve throughout playback.

[0100] According to some embodiments, musical parameters 604 are established in accordance with the selected therapeutic vector. Such parameters include tempo (BPM), mode or scale type, instrumental families, and harmonic structure. These parameters may be drawn from parameter tables that correlate musical attributes with specific emotional or physiological responses. According to some embodiments, at sound effects and frequencies 605 stage, one or more ambient or therapeutic effects - such as Solfeggio tones, binaural-beat carriers, or other acoustic stimuli - are identified, each of which are annotated with metadata specifying amplitude range, channel allocation, and temporal placement within the composition.

[0101] According to some embodiments, animation and humor type 606 are determined with reference to the previously identified LM 602 and therapeutic category 601.

[0102] According to some embodiments, at the color sequence stage 607, the chromatic progression and light- frequency modulation throughout the episode are defined and selected in accordance with the targeted emotional response.

[0103] According to some embodiments, at assemble stage 608, all defined auditory, visual, and humor- related parameters are compiled into a therapeutic-prescription form, representing a complete, machine- readable audiovisual blueprint for the episode. At Production 609 stage, the finalized prescription is transmitted to animators, composers, and sound designers. The finalized prescription may include metadata defining the vector type and LM level
