Abstract

A system for controlling the intake of food or drink, incorporating sensors to detect parameters relating to the subject's chewing or swallowing actions. The sensor signals are input to a controller which may activate stimulating electrodes implanted into the deglutition or mastication muscles, thereby controlling the ability of the subject to continue chewing or swallowing. Alternatively, the stimulating electrodes may be implanted in the Gastro-intestinal system to induce a feeling of nausea or satiety. The parameters may be related to the quantity of food, the type of food, the length of time of the intake, the time of day of the intake, the elapsed time since the previous intake, or any other parameter used to characterize the intake's caloric effect on the subject. Adaptations of the system and method may be used to control the intake of harmful or forbidden substances, such as alcohol, drugs or tobacco.
