Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A

Claim 7:
8. A method for delivering sensory stimulation to a subject, the method comprising: generating, with one or more sensors, output signals indicating one or more physiological parameters of a subject;
determining, with one or more physical processors, one or more physiological parameters of the subject based on the output signals from the one or more sensors, the one or more physiological parameters determined based on the output signals from the one or more sensors including a heart rate of the subject or a Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of the subject;
determining, based on the one or more physical parameters determined based on the output signals from the one or more sensors, a heart rate target lower than the determined heart rate or an HRV target higher than the determined HRV;
determining, with one or more physical processors, 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;
causing, with one or more physical processors, a sensory stimulator to deliver 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.
