Methods, systems, and devices for stimulating the vestibular system are provided to excite nervous system components of the physiological rhythm system and induce sleep. A device having one or more electrodes placed on the subject's scalp provides vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS) to the vestibular nerve, which is then carried into the vestibular nuclei of the brainstem, after which it is transmitted to nervous system components of the physiological rhythm system to excite areas that promote sleep, thereby putting the body into a sleep state. The characteristics of the stimulation signal and the duration of the treatment are configured to allow the treatment to be delivered prior to the subject's desired sleep time, thereby not requiring the device to be worn in bed.

According to one embodiment, a method for providing a sound for sleep induction may include an operation of providing a first sound corresponding to a first user activity based on detecting the first user activity associated with user cognition regarding a period for inhalation of the user's breathing. The first user activity may be a user activity independent of the inhalation rather than a user activity caused by the inhalation of the breathing, and a start time point of providing the first sound may be substantially synchronized with a detection time point of the first user activity. The method may include an operation of providing a second sound corresponding to a second user activity based on detecting the second user activity associated with user cognition regarding a period for exhalation of the user's breathing. The second user activity may be a user activity independent of the exhalation rather than a user activity caused by the exhalation of the breathing, and a start time point of providing the second sound may be substantially synchronized with a detection time point of the second user activity.

A vibroacoustic therapy seat for use in a vehicle is disclosed. The seat includes an array of small, low-frequency tactile vibroacoustic actuators / transducers are integrated into the seat beneath the trim cover within the foam and seat frame to deliver the appropriate vibrations to the occupant. Multiple actuators create a symmetrical, bi-lateral layout to target the interfacing regions of the body with the seat surface. A headrest with speakers provides supplementing binaural audio to the user synchronized with the vibrations. Each actuator / transducer operates on its own channel allowing for independent control of the parameters of the given actuators / transducer through digital controls. The multi-channel control methodology has several program types with unique patterns, sequencing, and locally targeted controls designed for achieving different responses such as relaxation, energization, sleep induction, or recovery.
