Heartbeat Prediction Stimulation for Coherence Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for providing feedback on heart rate and coherence often rely on visual or auditory cues that are synchronized with heartbeats, which may not effectively influence a user's level of excitement or relaxation, and struggle to accurately predict the timing of heartbeats for non-synchronous stimulation.
Innovation Solution
A heart rate stimulation system that uses a heart beat sensor to convert measured heartbeats into signals, a processing circuit to calculate and predict future heart beat intervals, and a user interface to deliver stimulation signals either before or after the predicted heartbeat, based on histogram analysis or repetitive patterns, to influence the user's excitement or relaxation level without conscious awareness of their heart rate or coherence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If stimulation signals are synchronized with actual heartbeats, then the timing is precise, but the system cannot effectively influence the user's level of excitement or relaxation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by predicting future heartbeat timing and delivering stimulation signals in advance of the actual heartbeat. The processing circuit calculates intervals between detected heartbeats and predicts when the next heartbeat will occur, then delivers the stimulation signal at this predicted time rather than waiting for the actual heartbeat. This allows the system to proactively influence the user's physiological state before the heartbeat occurs, effectively changing the user's level of excitement or relaxation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system uses prediction of future heartbeats, then it can deliver non-synchronous stimulation to influence excitement level, but the timing becomes less certain
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback by continuously monitoring actual heartbeat intervals and using this information to refine predictions of future heartbeats. The processing circuit calculates the interval between detected heartbeats and uses this feedback to predict when the next heartbeat will occur. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adapt to the user's actual heart rate variations while maintaining reasonable timing accuracy for delivering stimulation signals at predicted future heartbeats.
3Device complexity
If stimulation signals are delivered synchronously with heartbeats, then the system is simple to implement, but it cannot subconsciously guide the user towards heart coherence
Solution Approach 1:
The system delivers stimulation signals in advance of the actual heartbeat at the predicted future heartbeat time. This preliminary action creates a subtle temporal displacement that allows the stimulation to influence the user's physiological state subconsciously without requiring complex synchronous detection. The processing circuit predicts when the next heartbeat will occur based on intervals between detected heartbeats and delivers the stimulation signal at this predicted time, enabling the system to guide heart coherence through non-synchronous stimulation.

AI summary
Stimulation system for indicating stimulation signals to a user, provided with at least one heart beat sensor for converting measured heart beats into a signal, a processing circuit configured to process the measured heart beat signals, a user interface configured to indicate stimulation signals to a user, wherein the processing circuit is configured to calculate intervals between the detected heart beats and register a predetermined number of successive intervals, predict a time interval between a detected heart beat and a predicted future heart beat based on the registered intervals, and instruct the user interface to indicate a stimulation signal to a user non-simultaneously with the predicted heart beat at the end of the predicted time interval so as to change the heart rate and/or heart coherence of the user.
