Abstract
A method for stimulating neural activity in the brain of a user of an apparatus with a display screen by causing at least one portion of the display screen to flicker in a controlled manner and utilizing the apparatus to measure an effect on a user exposed to the flicker for a time.
Claims25
A method for stimulating neural activity in the brain of a user of an apparatus with a display screen, comprising the steps of:
- causing at least one portion of the display screen to flicker in a controlled manner and exposing the user of the apparatus to the flicker during an exposure time thereby producing an effect on the brain of the user, wherein the at least one portion is the entire display screen;
- and
- utilizing the apparatus after said exposure time has elapsed and measuring the effect on the brain of the user exposed to the flicker during said exposure time.
A method for stimulating neural activity in the brain of a user of an apparatus with a display screen, comprising the steps of:
- causing at least one portion of its display screen to flicker in a controlled manner and exposing the user of the apparatus to the flicker during an exposure time thereby producing an effect on the brain of the user;
- and
- utilizing the apparatus after said exposure time has elapsed and measuring the effect on the brain of the user exposed to the flicker during said exposure time by using the apparatus to prompt the user and using the apparatus to obtain a response to the prompt.
A method for stimulating neural activity in the brain of a user of an apparatus with a display screen, comprising the steps of:
- causing at least one portion of the display screen to flicker in a controlled manner and exposing the user of the apparatus to the flicker during an exposure time thereby producing an effect on the brain of the user, wherein a position of the at least one portion is controlled by feedback;
- and
- utilizing the apparatus after said exposure time has elapsed and measuring the effect on the brain of the user exposed to the flicker during said exposure time.
A method for stimulating neural activity in the brain of a user of an apparatus with a display screen, comprising the steps of:
- causing at least one portion of the display screen to flicker in a controlled manner and exposing the user of the apparatus to the flicker during an exposure time thereby producing an effect on the brain of the user, wherein a position of the at least one portion is adjusted based upon responses from a plurality of users;
- and
- utilizing the apparatus after said exposure time has elapsed and measuring the effect on the brain of the user exposed to the flicker during said exposure time.
A method for stimulating neural activity in the brain of a user of an apparatus with a display screen, comprising the steps of:
- causing at least one portion of the display screen to flicker in a controlled manner and exposing the user of the apparatus to the flicker during an exposure time thereby producing an effect on the brain of the user, wherein a position of the at least one portion is adjusted based upon measurement of reactions of a plurality of users;
- and
- utilizing the apparatus after said exposure time has elapsed and measuring the effect on the brain of the user exposed to the flicker during said exposure time.
