  • Patent number: 6688890
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method, as well as a computer program product, for measuring a physical or physiological activity by a subject and for assessing the psychosomatic state of the subject. The subject is automatically provided with a sequence of different sensory stimuli by means of a stimulus generator controlled by a control means. Electrical signals are then derived from a physical or physiological activity by the subject in response to each sensory stimulus provided, in particular a force of pressure exerted on a letter balance. The electrical signals are compared with a pre-settable index value. On the basis of this, information can be obtained about the psychosomatic state of the subject, in particular about preferences and inclinations. The device is preferably used as an allergy testing apparatus, wherein the sensory stimuli provided in the sequence represent substances which potentially trigger allergies.
