Abstract
A method and apparatus to provide a multi-sensory bilateral stimulation (BLS) session to a user is described. The multi-sensory BLS session method is user-configurable to allow a user to address a factor such as a problem or a goal. The multi-sensory BLS session includes configurable visual bilateral stimuli and permits the user to select additional audio and/or tactile stimulation. The multi-sensory BLS session method is executable on a programmable device, such as a smartphone.
Claims18
A multi-sensory bilateral stimulation (BLS) session method for a user using an electronic device having a memory, a display screen, an input device, and a camera, said method comprising:
- configuring the multi-sensory BLS session for the user to address a factor during the BLS session, where the factor is a problem or a goal, said configuring including configuring a user-selected object, where the object is related to the factor, configuring a user-selected pattern, configuring a user-selected background, and configuring one or more of a user-selected text message, a user-selected audio track, and a user-selected tactile input requirement;
- providing the multi-sensory BLS session on the electronic device, where the multi-sensory BLS session includes
- displaying the configured user-selected object on the display screen moving in the configured user-selected pattern against the configured user-selected background,
- if a text message is user-selected, displaying the user-selected text message on the display screen,
- if an audio track is user-selected, playing the user-selected audio track on the electronic device, and
- if the tactile input requirement is user-selected, requiring the user to indicate a position of the object on the display screen using the input device to continue the BLS session.
An apparatus for providing a bilateral stimulation (BLS) session for a user, said apparatus comprising an electronic device including a memory, a processor, an input device, a display screen, and a camera, where the processor is programmed to:
- configure a multi-sensory BLS session for the user to address a factor during the BLS session, where the factor is a problem or a goal, where the processor is programmed to:
- configure a user-selected object, where the object is related to the factor,
- configure a user-selected pattern,
- configure a user-selected background, and
- configure one or more of a user-selected text message, a user-selected audio track, and a user-selected tactile input requirement;
- provide the multi-sensory BLS session on the electronic device, where the multi-sensory BLS session includes
- displaying the configured user-selected object on the display screen moving in the configured user-selected pattern against the configured user-selected background,
- if a text message is user-selected, displaying the user-selected text message on the display screen,
- if an audio track is user-selected, playing the user-selected audio track on the electronic device, and
- if the tactile input requirement is user-selected, requiring the user to indicate a position of the object on the display screen using the input device to continue the BLS session.
