  • Method and apparatus for measuring sound that takes hearing characteristics into consideration
    Patent number: 6829939
    Abstract: Sounds input via a sound input device are corrected in accordance with age-based hearing characteristic data read from a memory or correction values for reference hearing characteristics for individual hearing characteristics-measured by an individual hearing characteristics measurement device, and the sounds corresponding to the hearing characteristics are measured and displayed by the display.

  • Biofeedback device for recognition of .alpha. wave component and muscle potential component
    Patent number: 4228807
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a biofeedback device which separately extracts the .alpha. wave component and the muscle component included in the brain wave and, therefore, permits the user thereof through auditory perception of associated audio frequency sounds to recognize accurately the appearance in the brain wave of the .alpha. wave component or muscle component on the basis of the principle that exclusive perception of the sound associated with the .alpha. wave component indicates relaxation of the subject's mental state, exclusive perception of the sounds associated with the muscle component indicates tension of the subject's mental state or cephalic state and simultaneous perception of the sounds associated with both components indicates occurrence of a phenomenon having nothing to do with the responses for feedback training.
