Abstract
The invention concerns a method, a system and a device for producing, from a substance, electric signals characteristic of the biological activity of an active element contained in the substance. The method consists in: placing the substance in a zone subjected to a specific electric, magnetic and/or electromagnetic excitation field. The method further includes a step which consists in transforming the fields resulting form the interaction between the specific excitation filed and the substance, into signals, in particular electric signals, using a first transducer receiving the resulting fields.

Method for producing from a substance (1) signals, in particular electric signals, characteristic of the biological and/or chemical activity or of the biological and/or chemical behaviour of said substance or of an active element contained in said substance;
- said method comprising the stages:
- of placing said substance in a zone (2) submitted to a specific excitation field of electric, magnetic and/or electromagnetic nature (4), said specific excitation field having the characteristic of having a power spectral density spread over a frequency band, particularly of the white noise type or of the pink noise type;
- said method also comprising:
- of transforming the resulting fields from the interaction of the specific excitation field of the substance into signals, in particular electric signals, by means of a first transducer (6) receiving said resulting fields,
- said signals being characteristic of the biological and/or chemical activity or of the biological and/or chemical behaviour of said substance or said active element contained in said substance.
System for producing signals, particularly electric signals, characteristic of the biological and/or chemical activity or the biological and/or chemical behaviour of substance (1) or an active element contained in said substance and system for implementing the properties of such signals, said system comprising:
- an emitter (4) generating a specific excitation field of electric, magnetic and/or electromagnetic nature in a zone (2, 3) where said substance is situated;
- said specific excitation field having the characteristic of having a power spectral density spread over a frequency band, particularly of the white noise type or of the pink noise type;
- said method also comprising:
- a first transducer (6) receiving the resulting fields from the interaction of said specific excitation field and said substance, said first transducer transforming said resulting fields into signals, particularly electric signals, said signals being characteristic of the biological and/or chemical activity or the biological and/or chemical behaviour of said substance or said active element contained in said substance,
- means of emission (51, 151) for applying said signals derived from said first transducer to a receptor biological system,
- in such a way that the biological and/or chemical activity or the biological and/or chemical behaviour of the receptor biological system will be modified in function of the nature of the biological and/or chemical activity or the biological and/or chemical behaviour of said substance.
Device for producing signals, particularly electric signals, characteristic of the biological and/or chemical activity or the biological and/or chemical behaviour of a substance or an active element contained in said substance, said device comprising:
- an emitter (4) generating a specific excitation field of electric, magnetic and/or electromagnetic nature in a zone where said substance is situated,
- said specific excitation field having the characteristic of having a power spectral density spread over a frequency band, particularly of the white noise type or of the pink noise type;
- said method also comprising:
- a first transducer (6) receiving the resulting fields from the interaction of said specific excitation field and said substance, said first transducer transforming said resulting fields into signals, particularly electric signals, said signals being characteristic of the biological and/or chemical activity or the biological and/or chemical behaviour of said substance or said active element contained in said substance.
