HEAD MASSAGE DEVICE
20210145691 · 2021-05-20 · ·

A head massage device includes a head with a tubular member extending from the top thereof. A needle extends from the inner bottom of the tubular member. Multiple first bores are defined through the inner bottom of the tubular member. A handle is connected to the head and has a vibrator received therein which is controlled by a switch. A magnetic part is connected to the underside of the head and has protrusions extending from the underside thereof. Multiple holes are defined through the magnetic part, and each hole communicates with the passage of the protrusion located corresponding thereto. A guide member and a sponge are located between the guide member and the magnetic part. A container with liquid is inserted into the tubular member and the needle penetrates the bottom of the container so that the liquid flows toward the protrusions which massage the user's head.

Device and method for auditory stimulation

A device and method for desynchronizing a patient's neuronal brain activity in which the neuron population is firing in a pathologically synchronized manner. The device includes a stimulation unit that generates an acoustic stimulation signal that includes both a first tone and a second tone. The first tone is provided to shift the phase of the neuronal brain activity of a first subpopulation of the neuron population relative to the phase of the neuronal brain activity of a second subpopulation of the neuron population when the first tone is acoustically received by the patient. Further, the second tone is provided to shift the phase of the neuronal brain activity of the second subpopulation relative to the phase of the neuronal brain activity of the first subpopulation when the second tone is acoustically received by the patient. As a result, the acoustic stimulation signal desynchronizes the stimulated neuron population.
