Method and device for identification of stimuli, in which one or various identification methods in combination can be applied. Here, stimuli in their original manifestation, as well as stimuli positions and orientations are determined and it is ascertained which stimuli respondents have in their field of vision, from which moment, for how long and under which circumstances, as well as the way in which they handle and manipulate them.

A device for applying stimuli to a subject for therapeutic purposes utilizing an audio source producing a selected audio tone. An audio speaker delivers the audio stimulus to the left and right ears of the subject in an alternating manner, such that the sounds may be heard in either of the ears or may be heard in both of the ears in sequential fashion. Visual or tactile stimuli may be delivered to a subject singularly or simultaneously with the audio stimulus.

The apparatus serves for triggering optically evoked responses in the patient, and the response is acquired by means of a measuring equipment. The apparatus comprises a stimulation signal generator having a surface on which an optical stimulation signal is displayed, a waveguide having a first end and a second end, a first lens system for imaging the signal on the surface into the first end of the waveguide, a second lens system arranged at the second end for imaging the image at the second end ...

A multi-stimuli chair is provided for upright seated use. Stimuli, including light, color, sound, aroma, magnetic field, and vibration are provided by the chair to the user. The chair is compact, portable, and easily fittable through standard doorways.

Some methods are provided that comprise: providing a treatment fluid comprising an aqueous fluid, and a stimuli-degradable gel formed by a reaction comprising a gelling agent, and a stimuli-degradable cross linking agent that includes at least one degradable group and two unsaturated terminal groups; placing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation; and allowing the stimuli-degradable gel to degrade.

The insect bait composition in the present invention is useful for feeding stimuli to induce insects, especially cockroaches, to preferably feed upon said bait composition, which will stimulate insect feeding and successfully compete with other food sources in the environment, said stimulant bait composition having one or more protein sources derived from poultry liver, silkworm pupae and hydrogenated soy protein.

In one embodiment, a method is characterized by accepting voice input defining at least one spoken word; and calibrating the at least one spoken word in response to at least one defined speech-energy criterion. In one embodiment, a related system includes but is not limited to circuitry and/or programming for effecting the foregoing-referenced method embodiment; the circuitry and/or programming can be virtually any combination of hardware, software, and/or firmware configured to effect the foreg...

An apparatus for use in a system for transmitting information in the form of electric stimuli to a subject through the medium of a multiplicity of electrodes attached to the subject, which apparatus comprises analogue switches provided one each for the electrodes at their respective input sides and a decoder adapted to effect the "ON-OFF" control of these analogue switches. The pulse signals generated by a stimulator to represent a given piece of information are transmitted to the analogue switc...

A tachistoscope system is presented in which separate images may be sent to the left and right hemispheres of the visual cortex. A subject-worn viewing system having electro-optical valves is used to cover the right and left visual fields of the subject and the valves are operable in response to control signals. These control signals also synchronize the inputs from 2 television cameras with the opening of the valves. An alternative embodiment employs lenses of different colors arranged to cover...
