USP # 5,784,124 (July 21, 1998)

Supraliminal method of education...

D'Alitalia, Joseph A., et al.

 

Abstract: A method of behavior modification involves having a patient view

supraliminal video messages superimposed upon an underlying video

presentation. The video messages incorporate messages wherein at least some

of the messages link a desired modified behavior to positive feelings of the

patient. A supraliminal message generator and superimposer iteratively

selects individual messages for display from the sequence of messages,

decompressing the messages as required, and places the selected messages in

a buffer memory of a video generation device. A processor of the

supraliminal message generator and superimposer then fades the selected

message from an invisible level to a visible level on the video display, and

then fades the selected message from the visible level back to the invisible

level.

USP # 5,134,484 (July 28, 1992)

Superimposing method & apparatus useful for subliminal messages

Willson, Joseph

 

Abstract: Data to be displayed is combined with a composite video signal.

The data is stored in a memory in digital form. Each byte of the data is

read out in sequential fashion to determine: the recurrence display rate of

the data according to the frame sync pulses of the video signal; the

location of the data within the video image according to the line sync

pulses of the video signal; and the location of the data display within the

video image according to the position information. Synchronization of the

data with the video image is derived from the sync pulses of the composite

video signal. A similar technique is employed to combine sound data with an

audio signal. Data to be displayed may be presented as a subliminal message

or may persist for a given time interval. The data may be derived from a

variety of sources including a prerecorded or live video signal. The message

may be a reminder message displayed upon a television screen to remind the

viewer of an appointment. The data may be stored in a variety of different

memory devices capable of high speed data retrieval. The data may be

generated locally on-line or off-line and transferred to memory which stores

the data necessary to create the message.

USP # 4,883,067 (November 28, 1989)

Method & apparatus for translating the EEG into music...

Knispel, Joel, et al.

 

Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying a musical feedback signal to

the human brain, or any other brain, to induce controllable psychological

and physiological responses. A signal representing the ongoing

electroencephalographic (EEG) signal of a brain preferably is obtained from

the electrode location on the scalp known as CZ or P3 in clinical notation.

A signal processor converts the ongoing EEG into electrical signals which

are converted into music by synthesizers. The music is acoustically fed back

to the brain after a time delay calculated to shift the phase of the

feedback in order to reinforce specific or desired ongoing EEG activity from

the scalp position of interest. The music is comprised of at least one voice

that follows the moment-by-moment contour of the EEG in real time to

reinforce the desired EEG activity. The music drives the brain into

resonance with the music to provide a closed loop or physiological feedback

effect. Preferably, the musical feedback comprises additional voices that

embody psychoacoustic principles as well as provide the content and

direction normally supplied by the therapist in conventional biofeedback.

The invention contemplates numerous applications for the results obtained.

USP # 4,777,529 (October 11, 1988)

Auditory subliminal programming system

Schultz, Richard M., et al.

 

Abstract: An auditory subliminal programming system includes a subliminal

message encoder that generates fixed frequency security tones and combines

them with a subliminal message signal to produce an encoded subliminal

message signal which is recorded on audio tape or the like. A corresponding

subliminal decoder/mixer is connected as part of a user's conventional

stereo system and receives as inputs an audio program selected by the user

and the encoded subliminal message. The decoder/mixer filters the security

tones, if present, from the subliminal message and combines the message

signals with selected low frequency signals associated with enhanced

relaxation and concentration to produce a composite auditory subliminal

signal. The decoder/mixer combines the composite subliminal signal with the

selected audio program signals to form composite signals only if it detects

the presence of the security tones in the subliminal message signal. The

decoder/mixer outputs the composite signal to the audio inputs of a

conventional audio amplifier where it is amplified and broadcast by

conventional audio speakers.

USP # 4,699,153 (October 13, 1987)

System for assessing verbal psychobiological correlates

Shevrin, Howard, et al.

 

Abstract: A system for assessing psychobiological conditions of a subject

utilizes a plurality of words which are selected to be in four categories as

critical stimuli. The words are presented by a tachistoscope to the subject

in subliminal and supraliminal modes of operation. Subliminal stimulation of

the subject is achieved by presenting the selected words for an exposure

period of approximately one millisecond. The supraliminal exposure time is

approximately thirty milliseconds. Prior to stimulation, the subject is

diagnosed in accordance with conventional psychoanalytical techniques to

establish the presence and nature of a pathological condition. The words are

selected and categorized in four groups: pleasant words, unpleasant words,

words related to a diagnosed conscious pathological condition, and words

related to a diagnosed unconscious pathological condition. The brain wave

responses which are evoked by the stimulation are collected via electrodes

and analyzed in accordance with a transinformation technique which is based

on information signal theory for establishing a probabilistic value which

corresponds to the information content of the evoked responses.

USP # 4,616,261 (October 7, 1986)

Method & apparatus for generating subliminal visual messages

Crawford, James R., et al.

 

Abstract: A system for generating a subliminal message during the display of

a normal television program on a television receiver utilizes a personal

computer to generate an RF carrier modulated with video signals encoding the

subliminal message. The computer runs under the control of an application

program which stores the subliminal message and also controls the computer

to cause it to generate timing signals that are provided to a single pole

double-throw switch. The source of the normal television program and the

video output of the computer are connected to the two switch inputs and the

switch output is connected to the television receiver antenna system. The

timing signals cause the switch to normally display the conventional

television program and to periodically switch to the computer output to

generate the subliminal message. The video output of the computer includes

horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals which are of substantially the

same frequency as the synchronizing signals incorporated within the normal

program source but of an arbitrary phase.

USP # 4,395,600 (July 26, 1983)

Auditory subliminal message system & method

Lundy, Rene R., et al.

 

Abstract: Ambient audio signals from the customer shopping area within a

store are sensed and fed to a signal processing circuit that produces a

control signal which varies with variations in the amplitude of the sensed

audio signals. A control circuit adjusts the amplitude of an auditory

subliminal anti-shoplifting message to increase with increasing amplitudes

of sensed audio signals and decrease with decreasing amplitudes of sensed

audio signals. This amplitude controlled subliminal message may be mixed

with background music and transmitted to the shopping area. To reduce

distortion of the subliminal message, its amplitude is controlled to

increase at a first rate slower than the rate of increase of the amplitude

of ambient audio signals from the area. Also, the amplitude of the

subliminal message is controlled to decrease at a second rate faster than

the first rate with decreasing ambient audio signal amplitudes to minimize

the possibility of the subliminal message becoming supraliminal upon rapid

declines in ambient audio signal amplitudes in the area. A masking signal is

provided with an amplitude which is also controlled in response to the

amplitude of sensed ambient audio signals. This masking signal may be

combined with the auditory subliminal message to provide a composite signal

fed to, and controlled by, the control circuit.

USP # 4,227,516 (October 14, 1980)

Apparatus for electrophysiological stimulation

Meland, Bruce C., et al.

 

Abstract: Apparatus for the electrophysiological stimulation of a patient is

provided for creating an analgesic condition in the patient to induce sleep,

treat psychosomatic disorders, and to aid in the induction of

electrohypnosis and altered states of consciousness. The foregoing is

achieved by repetitive stimuli in the patient for whom external influences,

namely those of sight and sound, are intentionally excluded. The apparatus

produces electrical stimulation of the patient in the form of a modulated

wave which produces impulses in the delta, theta, alpha and beta regions of

the brain's electrical activity, the electrical stimulation being

accompanied by two sources of audio stimulation, one of which is a

sinusoidal tone modulated by and synchronized with the electrical

stimulation, and the other is derived from sound recordings.

USP # 4,191,175 (March 4, 1980)

Method & apparatus for repetitively producing a noise-like audible signal

Nagle, William L.

 

Abstract: A digital pulse generator and shift register repetitively produce

bursts of digital pulses at a first adjustable repetition frequency. The

repetition frequency of the pulses in each burst is also adjustable. A pink

noise filter accentuates the lower burst frequency components near 7 hz and

substantially attenuates all frequency components of the bursts above a

first cut-off point near 10 Khz. A tunable band pass amplifier having a

center frequency adjustable over a preselected range of frequencies

optimally detectable by the average human ear accentuates the pink noise

filter output near 2.6 Khz. The tunable amplifier drives an audible signal

source with noise-like pulses of varying amplitudes and frequency

components. A low pass amplifier may be connected to the pink noise filter

to generate a train of pulses having a repetition frequency near 7 hz which

pulses a light source in synchronism with the audible noise-like signal.
