Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a living body stimulation device including: an envelope body having a living body contact surface which is to be brought into contact with a stimulation-target site of a living body; a propagation medium sealed in the envelope body and made of a liquid or gel material capable of transmitting a vibration and/or pressure; and an actuator configured to apply the vibration and/or pressure to the propagation medium. The vibration and/or pressure applied to the propagation medium by the actuator propagates through the propagation medium to the living body contact surface of the envelope body, to thereby stimulate the living body.
