Abstract
Description
stimulation)又は認知リラクゼーション効果をもたらすように変調される。図2A及び2Bは、駆動信号の変調形態を示し、図2Aでは「34」で示されるような変調周期(1/変調周波数)を有する認知刺激をもたらし、図2Bは図2Aの変調に起因するブラシヘッド運動の周波数の増加を示す周波数ダイアグラムである。変調は、2分間のブラッシングイベントの間に周波数に関して増加する。変動の範囲は、0.2Hzないし100Hzであってもよい。特定の一実施形態では、変調周波数は、典型的な使用期間の間に、30秒毎に増加する。一例として、第1期間では変調周波数が0.5Hzであり;第2期間では変調周波数が0.75Hzであり;第3期間では変調周波数が1.5Hzであり;第4期間では変調周波数が3Hzである。図2Cは、35A、35B、35C及び35Dで示されるように30秒毎に周波数の増加をもたらす様子を示し、これはユーザにより知覚される強度の増加となり、認知刺激及び覚醒度の増加(すなわち、覚醒型変調)をもたらす。
