Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a smart relaxation mask configured to output a stimulus and collect biometric information while the stimulus is output to determine if the subject is paying attention to the stimulus. If the subject is not focused on the stimulus, the mask adjusts at least one of an audio, visual, or haptic output. The stimulus is adjusted in an effort to shift the subject's attention to the stimulus and away from racing thoughts.
Claims21
A relaxation mask comprising:
- a mask having a pair of eye cavities comprising a first eye cavity and a second eye cavity, each of the first eye cavity and the second eye cavity of the pair of eye cavities configured to cover a closed eyelid of a subject wearing the relaxation mask;
- a first strap, extending from the first eye cavity, configured to have a low profile around a first temple of the subject;
- a second strap, extending from the second eye cavity, configured to have a low profile around a second temple of the subject, wherein the first strap and the second strap are configured to adjustably fit around, at least, a portion of a head of the subject;
- a first in-ear earpiece extending from the first strap;
- a second in-ear earpiece extending from the second strap;
- at least one biometric sensor configured to output data associated with the subject, wherein the at least one biometric sensor comprises a first electrode configured to contact Fp1 on a prefrontal cortex of the subject and a second electrode configured to contact Fp2 on the prefrontal cortex, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are disposed above the pair of eye cavities;
- a light pipe disposed around the pair of eye cavities;
- a removable liner covering the pair of eye cavities and the light pipe;
- a memory coupled to a processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- output, via at least one stimulator, a sensory stimulus;
- receive the output data from the at least one biometric sensor;
- correlate the output data and the sensory stimulus to identify a racing mind state;
- adjust one or more of an auditory, haptic, or visual stimulus of the relaxation mask in response to the identified racing mind state;
- and
- output, via the at least one stimulator, the adjusted one or more auditory, haptic, or visual stimulus.

A relaxation mask comprising:
- a mask having a pair of eye cavities comprising a first eye cavity and a second eye cavity, each of the first eye cavity and the second eye cavity of the pair of eye cavities configured to cover a closed eyelid of a subject wearing the relaxation mask;
- a first strap, extending from the first eye cavity, configured to have a low profile around a first temple of the subject;
- a second strap, extending from the second eye cavity, configured to have a low profile around a second temple of the subject, wherein the first strap and the second strap are configured to adjustably fit around, at least, a portion of a head of the subject;
- a first conductive in-ear earpiece extending from the first strap and configured to obtain a first set of biometric information and output a first set of audio signals;
- a second conductive in-ear earpiece extending from the second strap and configured to obtain a second set of biometric information and output a second set of audio signals;
- at least one biometric sensor providing output data, wherein the least one biometric sensor comprises a first electrode configured to contact Fp1 on a prefrontal cortex of the subject wearing the mask and a second electrode configured to contact Fp2 on the prefrontal cortex, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are disposed above the pair of eye cavities;
- a light pipe disposed around the pair of eye cavities;
- a removable liner covering the pair of eye cavities and the light pipe:
- a memory coupled to a processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- output, at least one sensory stimulus;
- receive the output data from the at least one biometric sensor;
- correlate the output data and the at least one sensory stimulus to identify a racing mind state;
- execute an artificial intelligence (AT) program that adjusts the at least one sensory stimulus of the relaxation mask in response to the identified racing mind state;
- and
- output the adjusted at least one sensory stimulus.

- and
- instructions stored in the memory that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- output, at least one sensory stimulus;
- receive output data from the at least one biometric sensor;
- determine, based on a correlation of the output data and the at least one sensory stimulus, the subject is in a racing mind state;
- adjust the at least one sensory stimulus of the relaxation mask based on the determined racing mind state, wherein adjusting the at least one output of the relaxation mask comprises one or more of:
- adjusting an auditory sensory stimulus, introducing at least one visual cue via the light pipe, or introducing at least one haptic cue via the tactile motor, and
- output the at least one adjusted sensory stimulus.
