MEMORY-ENHANCING AND HABIT-TRAINING METHODS AND DEVICES

摘要

A wearable or other portable device in the form of a module, bracelet, anklet, ring, or part of a garment, is worn or carried by a user in order to facilitate remembering facts or other sensory memories (memory enhancement), to gain new memories retroactively, and to facilitate eliminating or forming particular habitual behaviors (habit training). The device produces one or more stimuli: for example, it may display words on an LED screen, emit a sound, shine a light, vibrate, or induce a shock. The user may control the device's operation by manually administering stimuli via the device, or the user may choose or create a program through which the device automatically produces stimuli in response to particular criteria detected by the device or another computer linked to the device.
