Environmental characteristics of habitable environments (e.g., hotel or motel rooms, spas, resorts, cruise boat cabins, offices, hospitals and/or homes, apartments or residences) are controlled to eliminate, reduce or ameliorate adverse or harmful aspects and introduce, increase or enhance beneficial aspects in order to improve a wellness or sense of wellbeing provided via the environments. Control of intensity and wavelength distribution of passive and active Illumination addresses various issues, symptoms or syndromes, for instance to maintain a circadian rhythm or cycle, adjust for jet lag or season affective disorder, etc. Air quality and attributes are controlled. Scent(s) may be dispersed. Hypoallergenic items (e.g., bedding, linens) may be used. Water quality is controlled. Noise is reduced and sounds (e.g., masking, music, natural) may be provided. Passive and active pathogen controls are employed. Controls are provided for the occupant and/or facility personnel, as is instruction, and surveys, including assessing wellness.

A Pulse-Monitored, Vibrating Vehicle Seat Mechanism is a drowsiness alert system. The Pulse-Monitored, Vibrating Vehicle Seat Mechanism consists of cardiac sensors, a vibration device encased in the vehicle seat upholstery, and communication elements. The mechanism is powered by the electrical system of the given vehicle and can be integrated inside any vehicle.

The invention relates to a sensory deprivation booth foldable between a folded transport position and an unfolded usage position forming a closed space for receiving a user to perform a sensory analysis; the booth comprising: walls, each wall being airtight or suitable for filtering the flow of air passing through the wall; airtight articulations and closing devices, positioned at the joint of the walls and connecting the walls in an airtight manner in the unfolded usage position of the booth, the folded joints allowing superposition of the walls on one another in the transport position of the booth.

Systems, devices, and methods for operating one or more doors of an enclosure from an open position to a closed position are disclosed. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the opening and closing of a pair of curved double-doors of a float pod. Such opening and closing is achieved via a door hinge attached to the float pod. In some embodiments, the door hinge includes two arms that rotate independently around a central, pivoting shaft. Each of the pair of curved double-doors is attached to one of the two arms, thereby resulting in lateral, sliding movement of the doors towards and away from each other upon rotation of the two arms.

A mobile meditation unit has a scheduling control for receiving a request for a mobile meditation session. The control is programmed to receive a request, and schedule a mobile meditation unit to be dispatched to a particular location. A mobile meditation unit includes an enclosed space having climate control and seating locations. A method of providing a mobile meditation system is also disclosed.

An isolation therapy device worn on the head for reducing sensory input and delivering therapeutic treatment for neurological and psychological conditions, including anxiety, PTSD, autism, cognitive decline, and concussion. The device comprises a multi-layer construction including: an innermost comfort layer, an intermediate adjustable compression or suspension layer, and an outer fabric shell layer. The device further includes optional modular systems for sensory reduction and therapeutic enhancement, including modules for visual and auditory isolation, aromatherapy, heating, cooling, vibration, and EEG monitoring. Modular components may be removable, adjustable, and customizable. The device optionally integrates smart sensors for biometric monitoring and real-time feedback. A digital application may be used in conjunction with the device to enable control, tracking, and personalization of therapy parameters. The modular nature allows for individualized treatment protocols and adaptability across a range of conditions.

Techniques are disclosed for a pod chamber for immersing a user in a multisensory experience delivered in concert with an audio beat frequency generated by a first set of audio speakers positioned on each side of the user's head. A second set of audio speakers delivers an audio performance in concert with the audio beat frequency. A stroboscopic light source provides a strobing pattern of light also in concert with the audio beat frequency as well as with the audio performance. Additional input from tactile transducers is also delivered in concert with the audio beat frequency and the audio performance. Still other elements, such as pulsed electromagnetic field generator, olfactory aromatic diffuser and screens with visuals are provided in the pod chamber to achieve immersion in the multisensory experience and more specifically to induce in the user a sense of participation in the multisensory experience.

A sleep pod apparatus for simulating riding in an operating motor vehicle to soothe an occupant of the sleep chamber to sleep includes a housing which defines an interior space therein and defines an opening to the interior space. A processor and a vibration motor are mounted in the housing. The vibration motor is operatively coupled to the processor and is configured to vibrate the cushion when activated by the processor. The vibration motor is configured to simulate a vibration of a motor vehicle on a passenger thereof.

Methods, systems, and techniques for providing neurofeedback and for training brain wave function are provided. Example embodiments provide a Brain Training Feedback System (BTFS), which enables participants involved in brain training activities to learn to evoke/increase or suppress/inhibit certain brain wave activity based upon the desired task at hand. In one embodiment, the BTFS provides a brain/computer interaction feedback loop which monitors and measures EEG signals (brain activity) received from participant and provides feedback to participant. The BTFS may use an FFT based system or machine learning engines to deconstruct and classify brain wave signals. The machine learning based BTFS enable optimized feedback and rewards, adaptive feedback, and an ability to trigger interventions to assist in desired brain transitions.
