Patent ID: 6978179

Claim:
An apparatus to influence the mental state of a selected user, which comprises: a) positioning at least one electrical sensor upon a user's neck near the brain stem in proximity to the posterior aspect of the user's superior cervical region, in an area that is immediately inferior to the cranial cavity; b) recording the selected user's brain wave signal from the at least one electrical sensor to a suitable memory means; c) modifying said pre-recorded brain wave signal by identifying and selectively recording, deleting and repeating selected portions of the pre-recorded brain wave signal, to create a streamlined brain wave signal; d) storing said streamlined brain wave signal for subsequent use by said selected user; e) selectively actuating said streamlined brain wave signal, to produce an electrical signal for transmission to at least one electromagnet; to produce a corresponding streamlined magnetic signal at right angles to said electrical signal; and f) positioning said at least one electromagnet upon a removable neck apparatus positioned upon a selected user's neck, near to the user's brain stem in proximity to the posterior aspect of the user's superior cervical region, in an area that is immediately inferior to the cranial cavity; and g) selectively controlling the intensity, frequency and duration of the streamlined brain wave signal to influence the desired mental state of the user.
