Natural orientation induction tool apparatus and method

A system for remediating consequences of disorientation of a subject, the system comprising:

• a securement mechanism acoustically coupling transducers to skin of a subject;
• the transducers, sized and positioned to produce sound waves, transmitting a first portion of the sound waves directly through the skin and a second portion of the sound waves through air to ears of the subject;
• and
• a controller, programmed to control the transducers to provide to the sound waves physical characteristics causing the subject to perceive the sound waves as originating from a perceived location remote from the transducers and the subject.

A method of remediating effects of disorientation of a subject, the method comprising:

• providing a securement effective to secure to and transmit acoustically to skin of a subject in a location inaccessible by the subject;
• providing transducers sized, positioned, and secured by the securement to transmit sound waves simultaneously directly into the body of a subject and through air to ears of the subject;
• producing, by the transducers, the sound waves having physical characteristics and source locations causing them to be perceived by the subject as originating at a perceived location remote from the subject and the transducers;
• and
• remediating the effects of disorientation by focusing attention of the subject on the perceived location.
