Methods and systems of sound-stimulation practice
View Patent ↗In one aspect, a computerized method of auditory therapeutic stimulation with a mobile-device application includes the step of, with a mobile device, providing an auditory therapeutic stimulation application operative in the mobile device. The method includes the step of receiving a user input comprising a user pathology of the user or an athletic goal of the user. The method includes the step of associating the user input with a neurological region of user's brain; determine a tone frequency that stimulates the neurological region of user's brain. The method includes the step of determining a specified period to play the tone frequency. The method includes the step of playing the tone frequency to the user for the specified period of time.
1. A computerized method of auditory therapeutic stimulation with a mobile-device application for comprising:
with a mobile device:
provide an auditory therapeutic stimulation application operative in the mobile device;
receive a user input comprising a user pathology of the user or an athletic goal of the user;
associate the user input with a neurological region of user's brain by:
provide a table of tones,
for each tone in the table of tones, play a music piece that is adjusted to be in a same key as an embedded tone in the table of tones so as to be pleasant to the user, and
receive a feedback from the user;
determine a tone frequency that stimulates the neurological region of user's brain;
determine a specified period to play the tone frequency; and
play the tone frequency to the user for the specified period of time.
2. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the user pathology of the user or an athletic goal comprises a Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
3. The computerized method of claim 2 , wherein the neurological region of user's brain comprises a right frontal region, a right parietal region, a right mesencephalon region, and a left cerebellum neurologic region.
4. The computerized method of claim 3 , wherein the time period comprises at least a ten-minute period.
5. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the tone frequency is 261.63.
6. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the tone frequency is 293.66.
7. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the tone frequency is 329.63.
8. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the tone frequency is 349.23.
9. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the tone frequency is 392.00.
10. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the tone frequency is 440.00.
11. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the tone frequency is 493.88.
12. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the athletic goal of the user comprises an improving balance goal, a synchronizing brain hemispheres goal, an activating extensor muscle's goal, an increasing physical strength goal, an improving recovery from injury goal, an improving coordination of fine-motor control goal, a lowering a user's heart rate goal, a reducing nausea in the user goal, or a vestibular stimulation goal.
13. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the tone frequency comprises a set of specified key notes for a fourth octave version of seven major musical keys.
14. The computerized method of claim 13 , wherein the tone frequency comprises a second harmonic over thirty-six (36) decibels (dB) lower in an average power than a specified fundamental frequency.
15. The computerized method of claim 13 , wherein the tone frequency comprises a third harmonic that is thirty (30) dB below a second harmonic.
16. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein plurality of tone frequencies are embedded into a plurality of digital audio files such that a musical piece in the plurality of digital audio files is played in each of a set of major musical keys.
17. The computerized method of claim 16 , wherein the music piece is modified to be in a same key as the embedded tone so as to be pleasant to the user.
18. The computerized method of claim 16 , wherein an amplitude of the tone frequencies are decreased relative to an amplitude of the music piece as the tone frequency is increased to maintain a same perceived relative volume level.
19. The computerized method of claim 18 , wherein the user wears a biosensor and a bioresponse feedback data from the biosensor is used to modify an attribute of the tone frequency.
20. The computerized method of claim 19 , wherein a plurality of tone attributes are updated using an iterative feedback from the user, and wherein the plurality of tone attributes comprises a tone volume and a tone play duration.
