Abstract: A method and apparatus for affecting the autonomic nervous system of a subject using stimuli based on separate analysis of the sympathetic and/or parasympathetic branches of the subject's autonomic nervous system. The present invention also relates to a method and apparatus for affecting the autonomic nervous system, wherein stimuli is applied in coordination with cyclical activities of the subjects body such as respiration or cardiac cycle.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product is presented to address early visual-sensory motor perception of a subject, where the method comprising the steps of: (1) controlling photic energetic parameters and/or photic perceptual attributes to trigger pre-attentive cuing or increase reactivity in magnocellular activity towards transient visual stimuli of the subject; and (2) generating a optical field comprising optical events based on said photic energetic parameters and said photic perceptual attributes, wherein said optical field transforms into a simple optical flow in the perceptual visual field of said subject. The photic energetic parameters may comprise light array energetic features, including one or more of wavelength, amplitude, intensity, phase, polarization, coherence, hue, brightness, and saturation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for enhancing the holistic and temporal speech perception processes of a learning-impaired subject. A subject listens to a sound stimulus which induces the perception of verbal transformations. The subject records the verbal transformations which are then used to create further sound stimuli in the form of semantic-like phrases and an imaginary story. Exposure to the sound stimuli enhances holistic speech perception of the subject with cross-modal benefits to speech production, reading and writing. The present invention has application to a wide range of impairments including, Specific Language Impairment, language learning disabilities, dyslexia, autism, dementia and Alzheimer's.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is presented for promoting movements of a subject in synergic timed correlation with physiological activity. The apparatus includes a synergic programs module that directs the movements in a temporally varying fashion. The synergic programs module causes generation of at least one signal, stimulus, or force, where the movements are performed in response to the at least one signal, stimulus, or force, where each of the at least one signal, stimulus, or force is determined so as to reduce meaning and/or emotional content to the subject, where each signal and stimulus is from a pool that comprises signals and stimuli that are sensorially understandable or recognizable by the subject, and where timing of the movements is based on at least a primary correlation factor and a secondary correlation factor. The primary correlation factor is determined so that the movements are synchronized with referential points of an intrinsically variable cyclical physiological activity.
