為了更詳細說明腦部刺激訊號調控的內容,請一併參考圖2及圖3,其中圖3係依據本發明一實施例所繪示的腦部刺激訊號調控方法的流程圖。如圖3所示,腦部刺激訊號調控方法包括:步驟S101:基於刺激參數提供多個感官刺激訊號至使用者,所述刺激參數包含頻率參數;步驟S103:取得回應於所述多個感官刺激訊號的回饋訊號;步驟S105:判斷回饋訊號指示正面回饋狀態或負面回饋狀態;若步驟S105的判斷結果為「正面回饋狀態」,執行步驟S107:設定刺激參數為預設參數;以及若步驟S105的判斷結果為「負面回饋狀態」,執行步驟S109: 調整刺激參數的數值,及再次執行步驟S101。步驟S101、S103及S105可視為刺激回饋程序。 To explain the content of brain stimulation signal regulation in more detail, please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , wherein FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a brain stimulation signal regulation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG3 , the brain stimulation signal control method includes: step S101: providing a plurality of sensory stimulation signals to a user based on stimulation parameters, wherein the stimulation parameters include frequency parameters; step S103: obtaining feedback signals in response to the plurality of sensory stimulation signals; step S105: determining whether the feedback signal indicates a positive feedback state or a negative feedback state; if the determination result of step S105 is “positive feedback state”, executing step S107: setting the stimulation parameters to default parameters; and if the determination result of step S105 is “negative feedback state”, executing step S109: adjusting the value of the stimulation parameters, and executing step S101 again. Steps S101, S103 and S105 can be regarded as a stimulus feedback procedure.

於步驟S101,控制元件14控制第一刺激元件11、第二刺激元件12及第三刺激元件13以控制元件14儲存的刺激參數分別輸出感官刺激訊號至使用者。所述刺激參數包括頻率參數,且該些感官刺激訊號可對應於相同頻率,例如為40Hz。以上述的刺激元件的類型為例,該些感官刺激訊號的每一者為光訊號、聲音訊號及電訊號中的至少一種,其中聲音訊號可包括對應頻率參數的基礎聲音訊號及疊加於基礎聲音訊號的特殊聲音訊號(例如,音樂、雨聲等),光訊號可包括對應頻率參數的基礎光訊號及疊加於基礎聲音訊號的特殊光訊號(例如,影片、畫面等)。換言之,控制元件14控制第一刺激元件11、第二刺激元件12及第三刺激元件13以相同頻率輸出感官刺激訊號至使用者。另外,刺激參數還可包括占空比參數及強度參數的至少一者,其中占空比參數指示感官刺激訊號的高電位的時間與一個完整週期的比例,強度參數指示感官刺激訊號的訊號強度。 In step S101, the control element 14 controls the first stimulation element 11, the second stimulation element 12 and the third stimulation element 13 to output sensory stimulation signals to the user respectively according to the stimulation parameters stored in the control element 14. The stimulation parameters include frequency parameters, and the sensory stimulation signals may correspond to the same frequency, such as 40 Hz. Taking the above-mentioned type of stimulation element as an example, each of the sensory stimulation signals is at least one of a light signal, a sound signal and an electrical signal, wherein the sound signal may include a basic sound signal corresponding to the frequency parameter and a special sound signal superimposed on the basic sound signal (e.g., music, rain sound, etc.), and the light signal may include a basic light signal corresponding to the frequency parameter and a special light signal superimposed on the basic sound signal (e.g., video, picture, etc.). In other words, the control element 14 controls the first stimulation element 11, the second stimulation element 12 and the third stimulation element 13 to output sensory stimulation signals to the user at the same frequency. In addition, the stimulation parameters may also include at least one of a duty cycle parameter and an intensity parameter, wherein the duty cycle parameter indicates the ratio of the high voltage time of the sensory stimulation signal to a complete cycle, and the intensity parameter indicates the signal intensity of the sensory stimulation signal.

於本實施例中,在步驟S103,行動裝置2取得使用者回應於該些感官刺激訊號的回饋訊號。回饋訊號可指示感官刺激訊號對應的刺激參數是否符合使用者的個人化刺激需求。舉例而言,回饋訊號可以是透過檢測使用者的生理資訊(例如,眼球活動、瞳孔縮放等)得到,回饋訊號亦可包括使用者的主觀回饋(例如,問卷測試)等。 In this embodiment, in step S103, the mobile device 2 obtains the feedback signal of the user in response to the sensory stimulation signals. The feedback signal may indicate whether the stimulation parameters corresponding to the sensory stimulation signal meet the personalized stimulation needs of the user. For example, the feedback signal may be obtained by detecting the user's physiological information (e.g., eye movement, pupil dilation, etc.), and the feedback signal may also include the user's subjective feedback (e.g., questionnaire test), etc.

於步驟S105,行動裝置2判斷回饋訊號指示正面回饋狀態或負面回饋狀態。當回饋訊號指示正面回饋狀態時,表示於步驟S101 輸出至使用者的感官刺激訊號的刺激參數符合使用者的個人化刺激需求。當回饋訊號指示負面回饋狀態時,表示於步驟S101輸出至使用者的感官刺激訊號的刺激參數不符合使用者的個人化刺激需。 In step S105, the mobile device 2 determines whether the feedback signal indicates a positive feedback state or a negative feedback state. When the feedback signal indicates a positive feedback state, it means that the stimulation parameters of the sensory stimulation signal output to the user in step S101 meet the user's personalized stimulation needs. When the feedback signal indicates a negative feedback state, it means that the stimulation parameters of the sensory stimulation signal output to the user in step S101 do not meet the user's personalized stimulation needs.

因此,當回饋訊號指示正面回饋狀態時,於步驟S107,行動裝置2將步驟S101輸出的感官刺激訊號的刺激參數設定為預設參數(即設定成固定配方),並存入控制元件14。因此,後續腦部刺激訊號調控裝置再次被啟用時,控制元件14可以符合使用者的個人化刺激需求的預設參數控制第一刺激元件11、第二刺激元件12及第三刺激元件13輸出感官刺激訊號至使用者。 Therefore, when the feedback signal indicates a positive feedback state, in step S107, the mobile device 2 sets the stimulation parameters of the sensory stimulation signal output in step S101 to the default parameters (i.e., set to a fixed formula) and stores them in the control element 14. Therefore, when the brain stimulation signal control device is activated again, the control element 14 can control the first stimulation element 11, the second stimulation element 12, and the third stimulation element 13 to output sensory stimulation signals to the user according to the default parameters that meet the user's personalized stimulation needs.

反之,當回饋訊號指示負面回饋狀態時,於步驟S109,行動裝置2調整刺激參數的數值,並再次執行刺激回饋程序。以頻率參數為例,行動裝置2可在預設頻率區間內調整刺激參數,並以經調整後的刺激參數再次執行步驟S101。預設頻率區間較佳為經醫學驗證適用於多數使用者的頻率範圍,例如38Hz到42Hz。另外,占空比參數及強度參數亦可分別有預設占空比區間及預設調控幅度,行動裝置2可據以調整刺激參數。預設占空比區間例如為25%到35%,強度參數的預設調控幅度例如為5%,但不以此為限,於不同實施例中可視需求調整占空比區間及調控幅度。 On the contrary, when the feedback signal indicates a negative feedback state, in step S109, the mobile device 2 adjusts the value of the stimulation parameter and executes the stimulation feedback procedure again. Taking the frequency parameter as an example, the mobile device 2 can adjust the stimulation parameter within a preset frequency range and execute step S101 again with the adjusted stimulation parameter. The preset frequency range is preferably a frequency range that has been medically verified to be suitable for most users, such as 38Hz to 42Hz. In addition, the duty cycle parameter and the intensity parameter can also have a preset duty cycle range and a preset adjustment range, respectively, and the mobile device 2 can adjust the stimulation parameter accordingly. The default duty cycle range is, for example, 25% to 35%, and the default adjustment range of the intensity parameter is, for example, 5%, but it is not limited thereto. The duty cycle range and adjustment range can be adjusted as needed in different embodiments.

以上是以圖2的腦部刺激訊號調控系統100說明圖3的步驟,惟於一實施例中,圖1的腦部刺激訊號調控裝置1亦可用於執行圖3的步驟。具體而言,於步驟S101,控制元件14基於預存的刺激參數控制第一刺激元件11、第二刺激元件12及第三刺激元件13輸出感 官刺激訊號至使用者。於步驟S103,控制元件14可自使用者的行動裝置取得回饋訊號,又或直接取得使用者回應於該些感官刺激訊號的回饋訊號。於步驟S105,控制元件14判斷回饋訊號指示正面回饋狀態或負面回饋狀態。當回饋訊號指示正面回饋狀態時,於步驟S107,控制元件14將刺激參數設定為預設參數(即設定成固定配方),並儲存預設參數。當回饋訊號指示負面回饋狀態時,於步驟S109,控制元件14在預設頻率區間內調整刺激參數,並以經調整後的刺激參數再次執行步驟S101。 The above is a description of the steps of FIG. 3 using the brain stimulation signal control system 100 of FIG. 2 . However, in one embodiment, the brain stimulation signal control device 1 of FIG. 1 can also be used to execute the steps of FIG. 3 . Specifically, in step S101 , the control element 14 controls the first stimulation element 11 , the second stimulation element 12 , and the third stimulation element 13 to output sensory stimulation signals to the user based on the pre-stored stimulation parameters. In step S103 , the control element 14 can obtain feedback signals from the user's mobile device, or directly obtain feedback signals from the user in response to the sensory stimulation signals. In step S105 , the control element 14 determines whether the feedback signal indicates a positive feedback state or a negative feedback state. When the feedback signal indicates a positive feedback state, in step S107, the control element 14 sets the stimulation parameters to the default parameters (i.e., sets them to a fixed formula) and stores the default parameters. When the feedback signal indicates a negative feedback state, in step S109, the control element 14 adjusts the stimulation parameters within the preset frequency range and executes step S101 again with the adjusted stimulation parameters.

透過上述腦部刺激訊號調控裝置1及腦部刺激訊號調控系統100根據回饋訊號調整感官刺激訊號的刺激參數的運作方式,可得到符合使用者的個人化刺激參數。腦部刺激訊號調控裝置1及腦部刺激訊號調控系統100利用符合使用者的個人化刺激參數提供感官刺激訊號給使用者,可提升改善使用者認知功能的有效性。 Through the operation mode of the brain stimulation signal control device 1 and the brain stimulation signal control system 100 adjusting the stimulation parameters of the sensory stimulation signal according to the feedback signal, personalized stimulation parameters that meet the user's needs can be obtained. The brain stimulation signal control device 1 and the brain stimulation signal control system 100 provide sensory stimulation signals to the user using personalized stimulation parameters that meet the user's needs, which can enhance the effectiveness of improving the user's cognitive function.

請接著一併參考圖5及圖6,其中圖6係依據本發明一實施例所繪示的產生回饋訊號的流程圖。圖6可視為圖3之步驟S103的一實施例的細部流程圖。如圖6所示,取得使用者的回饋訊號包括:步驟S201:播放測試影片,其中測試影片呈現移動物件;步驟S203:偵測使用者的瞳孔對應移動物件的瞳孔軌跡;以及步驟S205:以移動物件的移動軌跡與瞳孔軌跡之間的匹配程度作為回饋訊號。 Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 together, where FIG. 6 is a flow chart of generating a feedback signal according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 can be regarded as a detailed flow chart of an embodiment of step S103 of FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 6, obtaining a user's feedback signal includes: step S201: playing a test video, wherein the test video presents a moving object; step S203: detecting the pupil trajectory of the user's pupil corresponding to the moving object; and step S205: using the matching degree between the moving trajectory of the moving object and the pupil trajectory as a feedback signal.

於步驟S201,顯示元件21撥放測試影片,其中測試影片中呈現在畫面中移動的移動物件(例如,圓點、圖案等)。於步驟S203,攝影元件22偵測使用者的瞳孔追蹤該移動物件而得到使用者的瞳孔軌跡。於步驟S205,運算元件23將移動物件的移動軌跡與瞳孔軌跡之間的匹配程度作為回饋訊號,其中正面回饋狀態指示匹配程度等於或高於預設程度,且負面回饋狀態指示匹配程度低於預設程度。匹配程度可以包括移動軌跡與瞳孔軌跡之間的疊合程度或移動軌跡上的一或多個點與瞳孔軌跡上對應的點之間的時間差等。換言之,疊合程度越高匹配程度越高,時間差越大匹配程度越低。 In step S201, the display element 21 plays a test video, wherein the test video presents a moving object (e.g., a dot, a pattern, etc.) moving in the screen. In step S203, the camera element 22 detects the user's pupil and tracks the moving object to obtain the user's pupil trajectory. In step S205, the computing element 23 uses the matching degree between the moving trajectory of the moving object and the pupil trajectory as a feedback signal, wherein a positive feedback state indicates that the matching degree is equal to or higher than a preset degree, and a negative feedback state indicates that the matching degree is lower than a preset degree. The matching degree may include the overlap degree between the moving trajectory and the pupil trajectory or the time difference between one or more points on the moving trajectory and the corresponding points on the pupil trajectory, etc. In other words, the higher the overlap, the higher the matching degree, and the greater the time difference, the lower the matching degree.

舉例而言,當移動軌跡與瞳孔軌跡之間的匹配程度等於或高於預設程度時,表示輸出至使用者的感官刺激訊號的刺激參數符合使用者的個人化刺激需求,而讓使用者的眼部的追蹤能力符合預期的狀態。因此,回饋訊號指示正面回饋狀態。 For example, when the matching degree between the movement trajectory and the pupil trajectory is equal to or higher than the preset degree, it means that the stimulation parameters of the sensory stimulation signal output to the user meet the user's personalized stimulation needs, and the user's eye tracking ability meets the expected state. Therefore, the feedback signal indicates a positive feedback state.

反之,當移動軌跡與瞳孔軌跡之間的匹配程度低於預設程度時,表示輸出至使用者的感官刺激訊號的刺激參數不符合使用者的個人化刺激需求,而未讓使用者的眼部的追蹤能力符合預期的狀態。因此,回饋訊號指示負面回饋狀態。 On the contrary, when the matching degree between the movement trajectory and the pupil trajectory is lower than the preset degree, it means that the stimulation parameters of the sensory stimulation signal output to the user do not meet the user's personalized stimulation needs, and the user's eye tracking ability does not meet the expected state. Therefore, the feedback signal indicates a negative feedback state.

圖4所示的腦部刺激訊號調控裝置1’亦適用於圖6的步驟。亦即,圖4的顯示元件15可執行步驟S201,攝影元件16可執行步驟S203,控制元件14可執行步驟S205,執行的細節如上所述,於此不再贅述。 The brain stimulation signal control device 1' shown in FIG4 is also applicable to the steps in FIG6.

The execution details are as described above and will not be repeated here.

請接著一併參考圖5及圖7,其中圖7係依據本發明另一實施例所繪示的產生回饋訊號的流程圖。圖7可視為圖3之步驟S103的一實施例的細部流程圖。如圖7所示,取得使用者的回饋訊號包括:步驟S301:以預定亮度顯示測試影像;步驟S303:偵測使用者的瞳孔對應測試影像的瞳孔尺寸;以及步驟S305:以預定亮度與瞳孔尺寸之間的匹配程度作為回饋訊號。 Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 together, where FIG. 7 is a flow chart of generating a feedback signal according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 can be regarded as a detailed flow chart of an embodiment of step S103 of FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 7, obtaining the user's feedback signal includes: step S301: displaying a test image at a predetermined brightness; step S303: detecting the pupil size of the user's pupil corresponding to the test image; and step S305: using the matching degree between the predetermined brightness and the pupil size as the feedback signal.

於步驟S301,顯示元件21以預定亮度顯示測試影像,本發明不對測試影像的具體內容予以限制。於步驟S303,攝影元件22拍攝使用者的瞳孔以取得使用者觀看測試影像時對應的瞳孔尺寸。於步驟S305,運算元件23將預定亮度與瞳孔尺寸之間的匹配程度作為回饋訊號,其中正面回饋狀態指示匹配程度等於或高於預設程度,且負面回饋狀態指示匹配程度低於預設程度。舉例而言,預定亮度可有對應的預定瞳孔尺寸(例如,預定亮度越高,對應的預定瞳孔尺寸越小),瞳孔尺寸越接近預定瞳孔尺寸,匹配程度越高;瞳孔尺寸越遠離預定瞳孔尺寸,匹配程度越低。 In step S301, the display element 21 displays the test image at a predetermined brightness, and the present invention does not limit the specific content of the test image. In step S303, the camera element 22 photographs the user's pupil to obtain the corresponding pupil size when the user views the test image. In step S305, the computing element 23 uses the matching degree between the predetermined brightness and the pupil size as a feedback signal, wherein a positive feedback state indicates that the matching degree is equal to or higher than a preset degree, and a negative feedback state indicates that the matching degree is lower than a preset degree. For example, the predetermined brightness may have a corresponding predetermined pupil size (for example, the higher the predetermined brightness, the smaller the corresponding predetermined pupil size), the closer the pupil size is to the predetermined pupil size, the higher the matching degree; the farther the pupil size is from the predetermined pupil size, the lower the matching degree.

圖4所示的腦部刺激訊號調控裝置1’亦適用於圖7的步驟。亦即,圖4的顯示元件15可執行步驟S301,攝影元件16可執行步驟S303,控制元件14可執行步驟S305,執行的細節如上所述,於此不再贅述。 The brain stimulation signal control device 1' shown in FIG4 is also applicable to the steps in FIG7. That is, the display element 15 in FIG4 can execute step S301, the photographic element 16 can execute step S303, and the control element 14 can execute step S305. The execution details are as described above and will not be repeated here.

請接著一併參考圖5及圖8,其中圖8係依據本發明又一實施例所繪示的產生回饋訊號的流程圖。圖8可視為圖3之步驟S103的一實施例的細部流程圖。如圖8所示,取得使用者的回饋訊號包括: 步驟S401:呈現認知檢測量表;步驟S403:取得對認知檢測量表的使用者答案;以及步驟S405:以使用者答案與預設答案之間的匹配程度作為回饋訊號。 Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 8 together, wherein FIG. 8 is a flowchart of generating a feedback signal according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 can be regarded as a detailed flowchart of an embodiment of step S103 of FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 8, obtaining a user's feedback signal includes: Step S401: presenting a cognitive test scale; Step S403: obtaining a user's answer to the cognitive test scale; and Step S405: using the matching degree between the user's answer and the preset answer as a feedback signal.

於步驟S401,顯示元件21呈現認知檢測量表。認知檢測量表可包括用於檢測記憶力、知覺動作、執行力及專注力的一或多者的題目。於步驟S403,行動裝置2取得使用者對所述題目的回答作為使用者答案。舉例而言,使用者答案可以是透過為觸控螢幕的顯示元件21輸入,或是透過行動裝置2的喇叭等元件輸入。於步驟S405,運算元件23比對使用者答案與預設答案以判斷匹配程度,其中正面回饋狀態指示匹配程度等於或高於預設程度,且負面回饋狀態指示匹配程度低於預設程度。匹配程度可以是使用者答案與預設答案之間的相符程度(即正確率)。換言之,使用者答案的正確率越高,匹配程度越高。 In step S401, the display element 21 presents a cognitive test scale. The cognitive test scale may include questions for testing one or more of memory, perceptual action, execution and concentration. In step S403, the mobile device 2 obtains the user's answer to the question as the user answer. For example, the user answer may be input through the display element 21 which is a touch screen, or input through a component such as a speaker of the mobile device 2. In step S405, the computing element 23 compares the user answer with the preset answer to determine the degree of matching, wherein a positive feedback status indicates that the degree of matching is equal to or higher than the preset degree, and a negative feedback status indicates that the degree of matching is lower than the preset degree. The degree of matching may be the degree of match (i.e., accuracy) between the user answer and the preset answer. In other words, the higher the accuracy of the user's answer, the higher the matching degree.

請參考圖9(a)及圖9(b),其中圖9(a)係呈現以習知技術刺激腦部的刺激訊號抵達使用者的目標區域(例如,腦部)的時間;圖9(b)係呈現以本發明的腦部刺激訊號調控技術刺激腦部的刺激訊號抵達使用者的目標區域(例如,腦部)的時間。其中,圖9(b)中的第一刺激源強度可以是指前述第一刺激元件11輸出的感官刺激訊號的強度,第二刺激源強度可以是指前述第二刺激元件12輸出的感官刺激訊號的強度, 第三刺激源強度可以是指前述第三刺激元件13輸出的感官刺激訊號的強度。並且,於本實施例中,第一刺激元件11、第二刺激元件12及第三刺激元件13皆是以40Hz的頻率參數輸出感官刺激訊號。 Please refer to Figure 9(a) and Figure 9(b), wherein Figure 9(a) shows the time taken by the stimulation signal for stimulating the brain using the known technique to reach the target area (e.g., brain) of the user; and Figure 9(b) shows the time taken by the stimulation signal for stimulating the brain using the brain stimulation signal control technique of the present invention to reach the target area (e.g., brain) of the user. The first stimulation source intensity in Figure 9(b) may refer to the intensity of the sensory stimulation signal output by the aforementioned first stimulation element 11, the second stimulation source intensity may refer to the intensity of the sensory stimulation signal output by the aforementioned second stimulation element 12, and the third stimulation source intensity may refer to the intensity of the sensory stimulation signal output by the aforementioned third stimulation element 13. Moreover, in this embodiment, the first stimulation element 11, the second stimulation element 12, and the third stimulation element 13 all output sensory stimulation signals at a frequency parameter of 40 Hz.

請先參考圖9(a),以目標區域為腦部為例,習知第一刺激元件輸出的感官刺激訊號抵達使用者腦部的時間為第一時間T1,習知第二刺激元件輸出的感官刺激訊號抵達使用者腦部的時間為第二時間T2,習知第三刺激元件輸出的感官刺激訊號抵達使用者腦部的時間為第三時間T3。如圖9(a)所示,第一時間T1、第二時間T2與第三時間T3彼此間有時間差(例如,兩相鄰感官刺激訊號之間的時間差為25毫秒),表示利用習知的腦部刺激技術,感官刺激訊號無法同時抵達使用者的腦部。 Please refer to Figure 9(a) first. Taking the target area as the brain, it is known that the time when the sensory stimulation signal output by the first stimulation element reaches the user's brain is the first time T1, the time when the sensory stimulation signal output by the second stimulation element reaches the user's brain is the second time T2, and the time when the sensory stimulation signal output by the third stimulation element reaches the user's brain is the third time T3. As shown in Figure 9(a), there is a time difference between the first time T1, the second time T2 and the third time T3 (for example, the time difference between two adjacent sensory stimulation signals is 25 milliseconds), indicating that using the known brain stimulation technology, the sensory stimulation signals cannot reach the user's brain at the same time.

請參考圖9(b),同樣以目標區域為腦部為例,第一刺激元件11輸出的感官刺激訊號抵達使用者腦部的時間為第一時間T1’,第二刺激元件12輸出的感官刺激訊號抵達使用者腦部的時間為第二時間T2’,第三刺激元件13輸出的感官刺激訊號抵達使用者腦部的時間為第三時間T3’。如圖9(b)所示,第一時間T1’、第二時間T2’與第三時間T3’彼此間沒有時間差,表示利用本發明的腦部刺激技術,感官刺激訊號可幾乎同時抵達使用者的腦部,意即感官刺激訊號可實質同時抵達使用者的目標區域。 Please refer to Figure 9(b). Taking the target area as the brain as an example, the time when the sensory stimulation signal output by the first stimulation element 11 reaches the user's brain is the first time T1', the time when the sensory stimulation signal output by the second stimulation element 12 reaches the user's brain is the second time T2', and the time when the sensory stimulation signal output by the third stimulation element 13 reaches the user's brain is the third time T3'. As shown in Figure 9(b), there is no time difference between the first time T1', the second time T2' and the third time T3', indicating that using the brain stimulation technology of the present invention, the sensory stimulation signal can reach the user's brain almost at the same time, which means that the sensory stimulation signal can reach the user's target area at the same time.

綜上所述,依據本發明一或多個實施例的腦部刺激訊號調控方法、裝置及系統,透過根據使用者回饋訊號調控感官刺激訊號,可使感官刺激訊號的刺激參數更為個人化。此外,透過以行動裝置取得 使用者的回饋訊號,及將回饋訊號作為調控感官刺激訊號的刺激參數的依據,讓使用者不需前往醫療院所即可適當地調控感官刺激訊號,可使腦部刺激輕易融入於日常的使用情境。 In summary, according to the brain stimulation signal control method, device and system of one or more embodiments of the present invention, by adjusting the sensory stimulation signal according to the user's feedback signal, the stimulation parameters of the sensory stimulation signal can be more personalized. In addition, by obtaining the user's feedback signal through a mobile device and using the feedback signal as a basis for adjusting the stimulation parameters of the sensory stimulation signal, the user can appropriately adjust the sensory stimulation signal without going to a medical institution, so that brain stimulation can be easily integrated into daily use scenarios.
