Abstract
Systems using RFID tags to identify subjects or objects using RFID readers located on a subject or in a suitable enclosure with associated host computers, stimulus generators and associated output devices are provided. The interactions can generate immediate or delayed stimuli involving one or more output types as well as recording of events.
Claims27
A method for providing behavioral feedback to a subject comprising:

- (b) sending a control signal to a stimulus generator by and at a time and type determined by said host computer when the criteria for applying negative/aversive or positive/appetitive feedback to said subject incorporated in said host computer are met, and
- (c) delivering a generated stimulus thus providing negative or positive feedback to said subject via an output device driven by said stimulus generator.
