Abstract
An apparatus (2) is provided for producing electrical stimulation to at least one person (10a, 10b) in response to a varying output audio signal (4). The apparatus (2) includes a first circuit (13) which receives the varying output audio signal (4). A second circuit (20), coupled to the first circuit (13), generates a plurality of electrical pulses which vary in response to the varying output audio signal (4). A node (8a, 8b) is coupled to the second circuit (20). The node (8a, 8b) conducts the electrical pulses in order to provide a pleasing variable stimulus to the person (10a, 10b) when the person (10a, 10b) contacts the node (8a, 8b).
