  • Patent number: 7806088
    Abstract: A restraint device for primates capable of providing accurate visual psychological results of experiment by reducing stress given to the primates as subjects and stabilizing the psychological state of the primates. A box-like body (12) formed of a transparent material comprises foot stands (70), a waist stand (72), a first restraint (40) for restraining a body, and a second restraint (42) for restraining a neck in this order starting at the lower part. In both restraints, the first cutout parts (40aa, 42aa) of first plate-like bodies (40a, 42a) and the second cutout parts (40bb, 42bb) of second plate-like bodies (40b, 42b) are mutually overlapped with each other in the directions reverse to each other to form a first hole (50) for restraining the body and a second hole (52) for restraining the neck while adjusting their sizes. The heights and the inclinations of the first and second restraints can be adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20080306572
    Abstract: A subject is able to experience the sensation of a phantom limb by an effect of interaction generated between visual sensation and tactile sensation. A first chamber 110 for placing therein a prosthesis 305 that mimics a part of either a left or right limb, and a second chamber 160 arranged in parallel with the first chamber inside a case 105, are provided separated by a mirror 180 within the case. A stimulating unit 120, and a drive unit 125 for moving and/or rotating the stimulating unit, are provided within the first chamber. The subject is caused to experience the sensation of a phantom limb by inserting a limb on the side opposite the prosthesis into the second chamber, and viewing a mirror image 185 of the prosthesis placed in the first chamber through a viewing window 190.
