Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A

Claim 0:
1. A system for delivering sensory stimulation to a subject, the system comprising:
one or more sensors configured to generate output signals indicating one or more physiological parameters of a subject;
a sensory stimulator configured to deliver sensory stimulation to the subject; and
one or more physical processors operatively connected with the one or more sensors and the sensory stimulator, the one or more physical processors being programmed with computer program instructions which, when executed cause the system to:
determine one or more physiological parameters of the subject based on the output signals from the one or more sensors, the determined one or more physiological parameters including a heart rate of the subject or a Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of the subject;
determine, based on the determined one or more physiological parameters of the subject, a heart rate target lower than the determined heart rate or an HRV target higher than the determined HRV;
determine one or more stimulation parameters of sensory stimulation to be delivered to the subject based on the heart rate target and the determined heart rate of the subject or the HRV target and the determined HRV of the subject;
cause the sensory stimulator to deliver the sensory stimulation to the subject based on the determined one or more stimulation parameters; and
monitor heart-rate recovery of the subject after increased sympathetic activity under different sensory stimulation settings to determine the most optimal sensory setting to promote parasympathetic activity and/or to inhibit sympathetic activity under the different sensory stimulation settings.
