The present disclosure relates to an electrical stimulation system, comprising, in accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an analysis portion recognizing a brain activation pattern of a first user by analyzing a brainwave signal of the first user measured by a first electrical stimulation apparatus; and a stimulating portion applying an electrical stimulation to the brain of a second user on the basis of the information on the recognized brain activation pattern of the first user, wherein the first electrical stimulation apparatus includes a detecting portion detecting the second user's approach.

Electrical stimulation system

The present disclosure relates to an accounting method for electrical stimulation apparatus, comprising, in accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, receiving an information on authority for use of an electrical simulation apparatus from a second apparatus if a signal for payment request for the authority for use of the electrical simulation apparatus received from a first apparatus is processed and the information on the authority for use of the electrical stimulation apparatus is transmitted to a second apparatus; operating the electrical stimulation apparatus on the basis of the received information on the authority for use; collecting details of usage of the electrical stimulation apparatus; analyzing the collected details of usage; and renewing the received information on the authority for use on the basis of the analyzed details of usage.

Electrical stimulation system for recognizing brain activation pattern and applying electrical stimulation to a user

A method and system of remotely stimulating the midbrain area is disclosed. Transcranial direct current stimulation is applied via a cathode attached to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and an anode attached to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. These regions are either directly connected or indirectly connected to the midbrain region. The stimulation allows non-invasive stimulation of neurons in the midbrain region to address brain disorders such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression and addiction.

Remote activation of the midbrain by transcranial direct current stimulation of prefrontal cortex

An apparatus for more accurately stimulating a living body comprises: a stimulation unit configured to apply a bio-stimulation signal in vicinity to a living body, the bio-stimulation signal being composed of pieces of time-series data having a specific frequency; and a control unit configured to derive bio-stimulation information required to achieve targeted bio-information using time space data indicative of bio-responses interacting at a plurality of different positions in response to the bio-stimulation signal, and derive a relation between the bio-stimulation signal and the bio-responses, and control the stimulation unit to apply the bio-stimulation signal in response to the derived bio-stimulation information. The relation is configured to set the bio-stimulation information as variables in an X matrix (m, t), set the bio-response information as variables in a Y matrix (n, t), and derive an A matrix (n, m) satisfying Y=AX.

Method for stimulating living body more accurately and apparatus using the same

Disclosed is a method of more accurately stimulating a living body and an apparatus using the method. The method includes determining targeted bio-information, deriving bio-stimulation information required to achieve the targeted bio-information using complicated time space data indicative of bio-responses interacting at a plurality of different positions in response to bio-stimulation composed of pieces of time-series data having a specific frequency, and applying a stimulation signal to the living body in response to the derived bio-stimulation information. The method is advantageous in that it can derive a systematic algorithm between bio-related information and stimulation information so that more accurate and safely stimulation is made upon applying bio-stimulation based on acquired bio-related information, can minimize a process of trial and error using a systematic algorithm, and can more accurately stimulate a living body by exactly determining a specific target stimulation position.
