Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional electromagnetic stimulation devices are used, then general brain stimulation is achieved, but personalized treatment for specific brain regions is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the brain into distinct regions (e.g., left hemisphere, right hemisphere, specific lobes) and applies different electromagnetic frequencies to each region simultaneously. This segmentation allows personalized treatment of specific brain areas while using a unified multi-frequency system, resolving the contradiction between personalization and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts electromagnetic frequencies based on real-time EEG feedback from the patient's brain activity. The frequencies are modulated to match the patient's natural brain wave patterns, enabling personalized treatment without requiring complex manual configuration of multiple independent devices.
2Reliability
If fixed frequency electromagnetic stimulation is applied, then simple device operation is maintained, but effectiveness for individual patients varies
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the patient's EEG signals and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the electromagnetic stimulation frequencies. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures treatment effectiveness is optimized for each individual patient while the system operates automatically, maintaining ease of use without sacrificing reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the electromagnetic frequency parameters dynamically based on the patient's brain state and treatment response. Multiple frequencies are applied simultaneously and adjusted in real-time to match individual patient needs, improving effectiveness without requiring complex manual parameter setting.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple frequencies are transmitted to different brain regions, then personalized brain region stimulation is achieved, but frequency identification and targeting becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses electromagnetic vibrations at specific frequencies that resonate with the natural oscillation frequencies of target brain regions. By matching the stimulation frequency to the natural frequency of the target region (detected via EEG), the system achieves precise targeting without complex spatial positioning, resolving the contradiction between targeting capability and measurement difficulty.
