By providing vibrational stimulation to the driver, the system encourages the driver to enter a mental state suitable for safe driving. [Solution] In the vibration presentation method, a vibration actuator is used to vibrate a component inside the vehicle that the driver comes into contact with, generating vibrations that simulate heartbeat vibrations (S5). Risks in the vehicle's driving environment are detected (S1). In accordance with the detected risks, the heart rate or intensity of the heartbeat vibrations simulated by the vibration actuator is changed (S3, S6, S7).

An actuator provides vibrational stimulation to a recipient of a bone conduction device. To ensure proper operation of the actuator, a known signal is delivered to a coil associated therewith. An output signal from the coil is analyzed for distortion, the presence of which indicates that the actuator is out of balance. If distortion is present, adjustments are made to the position of certain embodiments within the actuator to obtain a properly balanced device. Methods also include testing for distortion, after manufacture of the device.

This invention discloses an emotion training system and method based on multi-sensory intervention and AI dialogue, belonging to the field of computer application and artificial intelligence technology. The system achieves proactive intervention throughout the entire cycle of panic attacks or acute anxiety attacks through the collaborative work of a multi-sensory intervention module, an AI dialogue system, a user data recording and feedback subsystem, and a peak detection state machine. The method includes: initiating AI dialogue and collecting multi-source evidence data; presenting dynamic storm visual effects, playing audio and vibration stimuli; calculating the emotion intensity curve I(t) based on real-time physiological proxy data (heart rate HR, skin conductance response GSR) and interaction data; automatically switching the stimulation parameters between peak and non-peak periods when the multi-source evidence score meets the threshold condition; calculating the amygdala sensitivity index (ASI), prefrontal control index (PCI), growth score (G), and courage index (CI) after the session ends, and generating a training report. This invention overcomes the limitations of traditional psychological applications that rely on a single sensory focus and passive relief, achieving closed-loop training with real-time detection, dynamic intervention, and effect quantification during the attack period.
