Abstract
A forehead-wearable light stimulator having one or more light pipes provides reliable light stimulation to a user. The stimulation can have high intensity and multiple colors. The intensity of the stimulation is less sensitive to device placement than in known light stimulators having no light pipes. The intensity is sufficient to deliver light through the eyelids, and is sufficient for the light's color to be perceived through the eyelids. The light stimulator improves on the state of the art, thereby enabling multiple new applications in the fields of biofeedback, lucid dreaming, and light-based alarms.
Claims14
A forehead-wearable light stimulator comprising:
- one or more physiological sensors capable of acquiring physiological parameters of a wearer of the light stimulator;
- a central processing unit capable of receiving the physiological parameters from the one or more physiological sensors, and accordingly providing a light stimulation signal at times and intensities responsive to the physiological parameters;
- at least one light source capable of receiving the light stimulation signal, and accordingly emitting light;
- and
- one or more light pipes capable of conducting the light from the at least one light source to the eyes of the wearer of the light stimulation apparatus.
A forehead-wearable light stimulator comprising:
- an EEG sensor capable of acquiring EEG parameters of a wearer of the light stimulator;
- a central processing unit capable of receiving the EEG parameters from the EEG sensors, and accordingly providing a light stimulation signal at times and intensities responsive to the EEG parameters;
- at least one light source capable of receiving the light stimulation signal, and accordingly emitting light;
- and
- one or more light pipes capable of conducting the light from the at least one light source to the eyes of the wearer of the light stimulation apparatus.
