Abstract
A method for treating eating disorders comprising the steps of generating at least one confounding gastrointestinal signal and at least one satiety or hunger signal that substantially corresponds to a neuro-electrical signal that is generated in a body and produces a gastrointestinal effect in the body, sensing food intake in a subject over at least a first period of time, and transmitting the confounding gastrointestinal signal and a satiety or hunger signal to the subject if the food intake of the subject exceeds or falls below a predetermined threshold level during the first period of time.
Claims48
A method for treating eating disorders, comprising the steps of:
- generating at least one inverted hunger signal, said inverted hunger signal having at least a portion thereof that is substantially similar to a negative mirror image of at least a portion of at least one neuro-electrical signal that is generated in the body and induces a sensation of hunger in the body;
- and
- transmitting said inverted hunger signal to said subject.
A method for treating eating disorders, comprising the steps of:
- generating at least one inverted hunger signal, said inverted hunger signal having at least a portion thereof that is substantially similar to a negative mirror image of at least a portion of at least one neuro-electrical signal that is generated in the body and induces a sensation of hunger in the body;
- generating at least one satiety signal that substantially corresponds to at least one neuro-electrical signal that is generated in the body and induces a feeling of fullness in the body;
- and
- transmitting said inverted hunger signal and said satiety signal to the subject.
