Abstract
Method and systems modulating eating behavior comprising (i) generating at least one confounding neuro-electrical signal that is adapted to modulate the sense of taste in the body, (ii) generating at least one confounding neuro-electrical signal that is adapted to modulate the sense of smell in the body, and (ii) transmitting at least one of the confounding neuro-electrical signals to a subject to modulate the subject's sense of taste or smell. In a preferred embodiment, both confounding neuro-electrical signals are transmitted to the subject to modulate the subject's sense of taste and smell.
Claims23
A system for modulating eating behavior, said system comprising:
- a control module configured to generate at least one confounding neuro-electrical signal that is configured to modulate a sense of taste in a body, wherein said at least one confounding neuro-electrical signal comprises an electrical waveform signal that mimics a naturally occurring electrical signal in a nervous system of a body;
- and
- a treatment member configured to transmit said at least one confounding neuro-electrical signal to a subject, wherein said transmitting is accomplished by direct conduction through unbroken skin configured to communicate with a target zone.
A system for modulating eating behavior, said system comprising:
- a control module configured to generate at least one simulated neuro-electrical signal that is configured to modulate a sense of taste in a body, wherein said neuro-electrical signal comprises an electrical waveform signal that mimics a naturally occurring electrical signal in a nervous system of a body;
- and
- a treatment member configured to transmit said at least one simulated neuro-electrical signal to a subject, wherein said transmitting is accomplished by direct conduction through unbroken skin configured to communicate with a target zone.
A system for modulating eating behavior, said system comprising:
- a control module configured to generate at least one simulated neuro-electrical signal that is configured to modulate a sense of smell in a body and which comprises an electrical waveform signal that mimics a naturally occurring electrical signal in a nervous system in said body;
- and
- a treatment member configured to transmit said at least one simulated neuro-electrical signal to a subject, wherein said transmitting is accomplished by direct conduction through unbroken skin configured to communicate with a target zone.
