Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a neuro-stimulation system for enhanced meditation and yoga practice that is developed to enhance meditation and yoga practices by targeting the optimization of cognitive processes, mental clarity, and overall well-being during mindfulness activities. More specifically, the system provides real-time intervention based on physiological and mental state measurements, in view of promoting relaxation, focus, and emotional balance for users engaged in meditative or mind-body practices, thus enhancing the user’s meditation experience and ensuring the achievement of an optimal mental and physical state.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Mindfulness, meditation, and yoga practices have long been recognized for their ability to improve mental clarity, emotional well-being, and overall cognitive performance. These practices often involve focused breathing, body positioning, and relaxation techniques aimed at achieving a meditative state of mind. Traditional methods to assist users in these practices include simple breathing exercises, guided meditation sessions, and yoga postures, typically supported by tools such as meditation cushions, yoga mats, and audio-guided sessions. However, these methods lack real-time feedback mechanisms to assess brainwave activity, physiological states, or postural alignment, which makes quite challenging to optimize the practice for each individual’s needs. Traditional tools fail to actively enhance mental focus or adjust to real-time changes in a user’s brainwave patterns.

[0003] Conventionally, tools used in meditation and mindfulness were basic, primarily consisting of physical elements such as mats, cushions (zafus), and incense, which were meant to facilitate comfort and focus during practice. Also, these used to ensure proper alignment during posture-based practices which ensures that practitioners maintain an optimal sitting position for prolonged periods. While effective for comfort, they do not offer real-time feedback about posture, brainwave activity, or physiological state. So, people use some equipment’s to support mindfulness, meditation, and yoga practices. These include heart rate monitors, and guided relaxation aids. But these equipment’s often require electrodes attached to the scalp, which is uncomfortable and require maintenance.

[0004] US9616234B2 discloses a neuro-stimulation system employs a includes a stimulator which may include electrode devices and/or vibration elements. A controller may be employed to drive the stimulating elements with an electrical signal. In response to the electrical signal, the stimulating elements deliver electrical and/or mechanical stimulation to the body part. The stimulation may be an aperiodic stimulation and/or may be a subthreshold stimulation. In one embodiment, the stimulator is disposable and the processor determines usage of the stimulator and ensures that the stimulator is limited to a certain amount of use. Neuro-stimulation systems may be applied to sensory cells of body parts during movement of the body parts to induce neuroplastic changes. Such movement may involve a variety of therapeutic applications, e.g. in stroke patient therapy.

[0005] US11723579B2 discloses a method of facilitating a skill learning process or improving performance of a task, comprising: determining a brainwave pattern reflecting neuronal activity of a skilled subject while engaged in a respective skill or task; processing the determined brainwave pattern with at least one automated processor; and subjecting a subject training in the respective skill or task to brain entrainment by a stimulus selected from the group consisting of one or more of a sensory excitation, a peripheral excitation, a transcranial excitation, and a deep brain stimulation, dependent on the processed temporal pattern extracted from brainwaves reflecting neuronal activity of the skilled subject.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems have been developed that are capable of enhancing meditation and yoga practice. However, these existing systems fail to facilitate muscle relaxation and promote comfort during practices. Additionally, these existing systems also lack the ability to promote optimal brainwave patterns, which deteriorates cognitive performance and mental clarity during meditation or yoga.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to facilitate muscle relaxation and promote comfort during practices, in view of helping the user to relieve tension and enhance physical well-being through gentle interventions when needed. In addition, the developed system also needs to promote optimal brainwave patterns that correspond to a focused or relaxed state, thereby improving cognitive performance and mental clarity during meditation or yoga.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The principal object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of continuously monitoring the user’s cognitive activity to provide real-time adjustments, enhancing the user’s ability to achieve a balanced mental state during meditation or mindfulness practices.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that provide adaptive guidance and feedback based on the user’s real-time cognitive, emotional, and physical conditions, thereby offering a personalized experience tailored to the individual’s specific needs.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that monitor and support emotional well-being by adjusting the feedback and interventions based on the user's emotional state, promoting emotional stability and a balanced mental state.

[0012] Yet another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of adapting and evolving over time based on continuous monitoring of the user’s progress, thus tracks improvements and recommends adjustments for more effective future sessions.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0022] The present invention relates to a neuro-stimulation system for enhanced meditation and yoga practice that is capable of enabling constant tracking of the user’s cognitive processes to implement real-time changes, in view of enhancing the individual’s potential to reach a balanced mental state while engaging in meditation or mindfulness activities.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, a perspective view of a neuro-stimulation system for enhanced meditation and yoga practice and a perspective view of a horizontal cut section of a hemispherical shaped wearable body associated with the system are illustrated, respectively, comprising a hemispherical shaped wearable body 101 associated with the system 100, a pair of strips 102 is integrated with a Velcro strap 103 is provided with a bottom portion of the body 101, plurality of TDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) electrodes 201 integrated on inner portion of the body 101, a dedicated cooling and heating units 202, 203 embedded within the body 101, a pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses 104 detachably integrated with the body 101, a set of TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) pads 204 integrated into the body 101, a flexible resting sheet 105 associated with the system 100.

[0024] Figure 1 and 2 further illustrates a speaker 106 and LED 107 is installed on the body 101, plurality of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) patches 205 integrated into the body 101, a bone conduction speaker 108 is positioned on the body 101, an aromatherapy diffuser unit 109 is integrated into the body 101, an adjustable cushioned C-clamp 110 attached with the body 101, an actigraphy-based accelerometer 111 integrated into a wristband 112 associated with the system 100, a vibration pad 113 is attached to the body 101 and engaged with user’s neck, the sheet 105 is embedded with pressure and motion sensors 114, 115.

[0025] The system 100 disclosed herein comprising a hemispherical shaped wearable body 101 which is designed to be securely worn by a user over the head portion, facilitating the performance of mindfulness activities. This body 101 comprises a pair of strips 102 integrated with a Velcro strap 103, which is positioned on the bottom portion of the body 101. The Velcro strap 103 enables the user to securely fasten and adjust the wearable body 101 onto the head portion, ensuring a stable fit during use. The design of the wearable body 101 allows for comfort and ease of application, ensuring the user's active engagement in mindfulness practices while maintaining secure attachment throughout the duration of use.

[0026] An EEG (Electroencephalogram) sensor is integrated into the inner portion of the wearable body 101 and is configured to detect and record electrical signals generated by neuronal activity in the user’s brain. The EEG sensor operates by detecting the electrical activity in the user's brain through electrodes placed on the inner portion of the wearable body 101. These electrodes pick up brainwave signals produced by the user's neuronal activity. The electrical signals are then transmitted to a microcontroller, which processes the signals and classifies them based on frequency bands, such as delta, theta, alpha, and beta waves. The sensor continuously monitors brainwave patterns, enabling the microcontroller to assess cognitive states and provide appropriate feedback to the user in real time.

[0027] Thereafter, a plurality of TDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) electrodes 201 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) which is integrated into the inner portion of the wearable body 101 and synchronously actuated by the microcontroller. These TDCS electrodes 201 operate by emitting a mild, direct current through the skin and into the brain, targeting specific neural regions. The electrodes 201 are connected to the microcontroller, which adjusts the current’s intensity, duration, and positioning based on real-time user data. When the electrodes 201 are activated, the low-level electrical current modulates the activity of neurons in the targeted areas of the brain, enhancing brainwave patterns linked to focus and relaxation. This process, by stimulating neural circuits, facilitates an improvement in cognitive functions, thereby making easier for the user to achieve meditative or focused mental states.

[0028] A dedicated cooling and heating units 202, 203 are embedded within the wearable body 101, positioned to provide localized temperature regulation to the user's head or scalp during meditation or yoga sessions. The units are configured to emit either a cooling or warming sensation, based on real-time brainwave activity and the physiological state of the user. By continuously monitoring these factors, the microcontroller adjusts the temperature output accordingly, ensuring optimal comfort and facilitating the user's mindfulness or meditative experience.

[0029] The cooling and heating units 202, 203 are controlled by the microcontroller, which continuously monitors the user's brainwave patterns and physiological state. Based on real-time EEG data, the microcontroller activates either the cooling or heating function of the units. When higher brainwave frequencies associated with stress or tension are detected, the units may activate a cooling function to promote relaxation. Conversely, when a more relaxed brain state is identified, the heating function may be activated to encourage comfort and warmth. These units work to maintain an optimal temperature on the user's head or scalp during meditation or yoga sessions, enhancing the user's focus and relaxation.

[0030] An augmented reality (AR) glasses 104 is detachably integrated with the wearable body 101, designed to provide visual feedback to the user. When high theta brainwave activity is detected through real-time EEG monitoring, the AR glasses 104 display calming colours and interactive cognitive training exercises. These visual stimuli are intended to regulate the user’s brainwave activity, promoting relaxation, focus, and mental clarity. The integration of the glasses 104 into the system 100 enables a responsive feedback loop that assists the user in achieving an optimal state of mindfulness, contributing to enhanced cognitive control during meditation or yoga practices.

[0031] The augmented reality (AR) glasses 104 are equipped with a display which presents visual feedback based on real-time EEG data. The EEG sensors continuously monitor the user’s brainwave activity, specifically focusing on the detection of high theta brainwaves. When high theta brainwaves are detected, the microcontroller processes the EEG data and triggers the AR glasses 104 to initiate visual feedback, which include calming colours, soothing patterns, or interactive cognitive exercises. These visual elements are dynamically adjusted in real-time based on the user’s brainwave activity.

[0032] The AR glasses 104 work in close coordination with the EEG sensors to ensure the feedback corresponds to the user’s specific cognitive state, providing a tailored experience aimed at enhancing relaxation, focus, or meditation outcomes. As the user’s brainwave patterns evolve during mindfulness or meditation sessions, the AR glasses 104 adapt the displayed visuals accordingly, ensuring that the feedback remains relevant to the ongoing brain activity and facilitates the desired mental state. The integration of the EEG data with the AR glasses 104 ensures precise synchronization between brainwave monitoring and the visual feedback provided.

[0033] Afterwards a detachable locking unit comprising a nut arrangement on the augmented reality (AR) glasses 104 and a corresponding bolt arrangement on the body 101 is directed to securely integrate the AR glasses 104 with the body 101. The nut arrangement is designed to be manually rotated by the user, thereby engaging with the bolt arrangement on the body 101 to securely fasten the AR glasses 104 in place during use. This locking unit ensures a stable and secure attachment of the AR glasses 104 to the body 101, preventing any unintended dislodging or misalignment during yoga, meditation, or other mindfulness practices. Additionally, the unit is engineered to maintain comfort for the user, ensuring that the locking process does not compromise the overall fit or cause discomfort during prolonged usage. This feature facilitates a reliable and comfortable integration of the AR glasses 104 with the body 101 throughout the duration of the mindfulness or therapeutic session.

[0034] Also, the augmented reality (AR) glasses 104 utilize real-time EEG data to continuously monitor and assess the user's brainwave activity. Based on the detected brainwave patterns, the AR glasses 104 generate a personalized mindfulness exercise sequence customized to the user's current mental and physical state. Specifically, when high beta waves, indicative of stress or mental agitation, are detected, the microcontroller recommends calming poses aimed at reducing mental tension and promoting relaxation.

[0035] Conversely, when low beta activity is observed, suggesting a relaxed or meditative state, the glasses 104 may suggest more energetic or stimulating poses designed to maintain focus and mental alertness. This dynamic and responsive arrangement ensures that the user’s mindfulness practice is optimally aligned with their current mental state, providing real-time guidance to enhance both physical and mental well-being. The interactive feedback presented through the AR glasses 104 ensures that the user is continually supported in achieving their desired mental state during the practice.

[0036] The body 101 is integrated with a set of TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) pads 204 that provides muscles relaxation. These pads 204 are activated based on real-time EEG data, which continuously monitors the user's brainwave patterns. When the EEG detects elevated muscle tension associated with specific brainwave patterns, the TENS pads 204 are triggered to deliver low-level electrical impulses through the skin to the underlying muscles. This electrical stimulation helps to alleviate muscle tension and promote relaxation, enhancing the user's overall comfort and supporting the mindfulness or yoga practice by reducing physical stress and promoting a more focused state of mind.

[0037] The TENS pads 204 emit electrical pulses at a specified intensity and frequency, which travel through the skin and stimulate the nerves beneath the surface. The electrical impulses target muscle fibers, inducing muscle contraction and relaxation, thereby reducing tension. This process is continuously adjusted based on the real-time brainwave data, ensuring that the electrical stimulation corresponds to the user's physical and mental needs.

[0038] A flexible resting sheet 105 is associated with the system 100, and serves as a supportive base for the user during mind-body practices such as meditation or yoga. The sheet 105 is embedded with pressure and motion sensors 114, 115 that are designed to work in conjunction with the EEG sensor. These sensors continuously monitor the user’s posture and balance, transmitting data to the microcontroller to assess physical alignment during the session. Additionally, the EEG sensor concurrently analyzes the user's brainwave activity. The integrated data from both the pressure/ motion sensor 114, 115 and EEG sensor is processed by the microcontroller, providing real-time feedback to the user regarding their physical posture, balance, and brainwave state. This feedback helps the user maintain optimal posture and mental focus throughout the practice.

[0039] The pressure sensor 114 embedded within the flexible resting sheet 105 is designed to detect variations in pressure applied by the user’s body. As the user rests on the sheet 105 during mindfulness practices, the pressure sensor 114 continuously monitors the amount of pressure exerted at different points on the sheet 105 surface. When the user’s posture shifts or becomes misaligned, the pressure distribution across the sheet 105 changes. The pressure sensor 114 detects these changes, with particular sensitivity to any imbalances or misalignments in the body’s position. This data is sent to the microcontroller for real-time analysis, allowing the system 100 to provide feedback to the user regarding their posture.

[0040] Synchronously, the motion sensor 115 embedded in the flexible resting sheet 105 tracks the user’s movements, detecting any shifts or changes in the position of the user’s body. As the user moves or adjusts their posture during meditation or yoga, the motion sensor 115 captures the slightest motion, including the shifting of limbs, body repositioning, or tilting. This real-time data is transmitted to the microcontroller, where the data is analyzed in conjunction with pressure sensor 114 data. The microcontroller identifies any movements or misalignments in the user's body, and if necessary, provides corrective feedback to guide the user back to an optimal posture.

[0041] The microcontroller after processing real-time data from the EEG sensor, analyzes the user's brainwave patterns during mindfulness or yoga practice. In the event that the detected brainwave activity deviates from a predetermined optimal range, the microcontroller is programmed to trigger specific corrective actions. These actions include providing physical feedback through a speaker 106 and visual cues through an LED 107 light. The speaker 106 emits auditory signals such as tones or vibrations to alert the user, while the LED 107 light provides visual cues, indicating the necessity for posture adjustment or mental focus recalibration.

[0042] When the user’s brainwave activity deviates from the predetermined optimal range, the microcontroller sends a signal to the speaker 106. The speaker 106, emits auditory feedback in response to the microcontroller’s signal. The sound produced is carefully selected, typically consisting of a series of tones, gentle vibrations, or frequencies intended to direct the user’s attention. The feedback is designed to be non-intrusive but clearly audible enough to prompt the user to adjust their posture, breathing, or focus, thereby aiding in the return to the desired brainwave state.

[0043] Simultaneously, upon detection of a deviation in the user’s brainwave activity, the microcontroller activates the LED 107 light. The LED 107 emits a specific colour or pattern of light that serves as a visual cue for the user. These visual cues may vary based on the severity or type of deviation detected. For example, a shift in brainwave activity toward high beta waves may trigger a colour change to a calming colour, signalling the user to relax. The LED 107 light functions as a non-verbal, intuitive signal, guiding the user to adjust their posture, breathing, or focus to return to the desired mental state.

[0044] A bone conduction speaker 108 is strategically positioned on the body 101 to transmit auditory feedback directly to the inner ear of the user. Upon detection of low theta brainwave activity through the EEG sensors, the microcontroller activates the bone conduction speaker 108. The bone conduction speaker 108 works by converting audio signals into vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted through the bones of the skull, specifically the temporal bone, directly to the inner ear. The bone conduction speaker 108 is positioned on the user’s body in close proximity to the bone structure. When activated, it produces vibrations corresponding to sound waves, bypassing the eardrum and auditory canal. These vibrations travel directly to the cochlea, allowing the user to hear the sound without the need for traditional air conduction through the outer and middle ear. This ensures auditory feedback is delivered without blocking external sounds.

[0045] An aromatherapy diffuser unit 109 is integrated within the body 101 and is designed to release calming scents based on real-time EEG readings of the user. Upon detecting particular brainwave patterns indicative of a need for relaxation or mental clarity, the aromatherapy diffuser unit 109 is activated to release specific scents. The aromatherapy diffuser unit 109 upon receiving signals from the EEG sensor, gets actuated by the microcontroller to release a pre-programmed calming scent. The diffuser unit 109 works by drawing essential oils or fragrance compounds from a reservoir, which are then expelled through the nozzle in a fine mist. The release of the scent is controlled in terms of intensity and duration based on real-time EEG data, ensuring the consistent emission of calming scents designed to improve focus and mental clarity during the user’s meditation or mindfulness sessions.

[0046] A frequency modulation (FM) unit is embedded within the body 101 and is designed to emit frequency-modulated signals, which are directly influenced by the user's EEG signals. These FM signals are modulated in response to real-time brainwave activity, with the purpose of enhancing neuroplasticity and promoting optimal brainwave patterns. The FM unit operates by receiving the user's EEG data, which monitors brainwave activity during meditation or yoga. Based on these EEG readings, the FM unit generates and emits frequency-modulated signals, which are tailored to the user's specific brainwave patterns.

[0047] These modulated frequencies interact with the brain’s neural circuits, promoting neuroplasticity and helping the user achieve optimal brainwave activity. The frequency-modulated signals are continuously adjusted in real-time according to fluctuations in the brain’s activity, ensuring the emission of the most effective signals to support mental clarity and focus.

[0048] A plurality of bio-impedance sensors (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) is embedded on an adjustable cushioned C-clamp 110 that is secured to the user’s neck and is integrated with the body 101. These bio-impedance sensors are designed to detect emotional changes by measuring variations in the electrical impedance of the user’s skin, which fluctuates in response to physiological changes such as stress or emotional arousal. When emotional shifts are detected, the bio-impedance sensors provide data to the microcontroller, which then perform appropriate operation.

[0049] The clamp 110 used herein has an open side and a curved side, forming a partial circle or a half-moon shape. At the open side of the clamp 110, there is a screw arrangement which includes a threaded screw or spindle and an electric motor. As the motor rotates it causes the screw to move in or out, which in turn adjusts the width of the clamp 110 opening and eventually applies the required force to grip the user’s neck.

[0050] The bio-impedance sensors work by passing a small, safe electrical current through the user's skin at the neck. As the current travels through the body, it encounters resistance, which varies depending on the user’s emotional state. The impedance data is then processed by the microcontroller, which analyzes fluctuations in the electrical resistance caused by changes in factors such as skin conductivity, blood flow, or sweating—indicators of emotional responses. Based on these readings, the microcontroller detects emotional changes.

[0051] A plurality of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) patches 205 integrated into the body 101 is designed to emit low-level magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain. These patches 205 are strategically positioned to interact with the EEG sensors, which continuously monitor the brainwave activity of the user. When the EEG sensors detect brainwave patterns that deviate from the desired state, the TMS patches 205 emit magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain to help adjust and modulate the brainwave activity. This process is intended to enhance mental focus, relaxation, and overall brain function during meditation or yoga practices.

[0052] The TMS patches 205 emit controlled low-level magnetic pulses that penetrate the user’s scalp and target specific areas of the brain. These pulses are generated by electromagnetic coils within the patches 205 and are precisely calibrated to influence neural activity. When the EEG sensors detect deviations in the user’s brainwave activity, such as excessive high beta waves or insufficient alpha waves, the microcontroller triggers the TMS patches 205 to deliver pulses. These pulses modulate the brain’s electrical activity, adjusting brainwave patterns to restore optimal states conducive to meditation or yoga.

[0053] Afterwards an actigraphy-based accelerometer 111, integrated into a wristband 112 associated with the system 100, functions as a posture tracker by continuously monitoring the user's movements and alignment. The accelerometer 111 detects changes in the user's posture and, when the accelerometer 111 identifies misalignment or slumping, triggers the microcontroller to provide either vibration or visual cues. These cues are intended to alert the user to adjust their posture, as poor posture has been correlated with higher beta wave activity, which disrupt the user's mental state. This ensures the maintenance of optimal posture for promoting better brainwave regulation during mindfulness or meditative practices.

[0054] The actigraphy-based accelerometer 111 embedded in the wristband 112 detects the user's movements by measuring acceleration along multiple axes. When the user’s posture deviates from a predetermined optimal alignment (such as slumping or misalignment), the accelerometer 111 sends data to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes this data and activates the appropriate feedback mechanism, which include vibration or visual cues. These cues serve as an immediate prompt for the user to correct their posture, helping to reduce excess beta wave activity, thereby promoting a more relaxed and balanced mental state.

[0055] A vibration pad 113, affixed to the body 101 and engaged with the user’s neck, is designed to emit gentle pulses based on real-time EEG signals that monitor the user's brainwave activity. When the EEG sensors detect an overactive beta wave state, indicating a heightened state of alertness or stress, the microcontroller triggers the vibration pad 113 to deliver a tactile feedback signal. This feedback serves to guide the user, signalling when their brainwave patterns deviate from the optimal range, thus assisting in promoting relaxation or adjustment of the user’s mental state during meditation or other mindfulness practices.

[0056] The vibration pad 113 operates by receiving data from the EEG sensors, which monitor the user’s brainwave activity in real-time. Upon detecting an overactive beta wave state, the microcontroller processes the data and activates the vibration pad 113. The vibration pad 113 emits a series of gentle vibrations, with frequency and intensity corresponding to the level of deviation in the brainwave patterns. These pulses are felt by the user on their neck, serving as a subtle prompt to adjust their mental state, thereby helping the user return to an optimal brainwave state for relaxation or focused meditation.

[0057] Further the EEG sensors continuously monitor the user's brainwave activity throughout both Progressive Relaxation (PR) and Transcendental Meditation (TM) practices. By analyzing real-time electrical signals generated by the brain, the EEG sensors detect variations in brainwave patterns and assess the user’s cognitive state. The microcontroller, processes this data to provide real-time biofeedback to the user, ensuring that the detected brainwave activity aligns with the optimal patterns for relaxation or focused meditation. This feedback enables the user to adjust their mental state as needed, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the respective practices.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, when brainwave patterns are detected to be misaligned, such as exhibiting excessive beta waves (in the range of 35-38Hz) or insufficient alpha waves (in the range of 6-8Hz), the microcontroller activates the speaker 106 to emit auditory feedback in the form of a calming tone or vocal instruction, such as “focus on your breath,” guiding the user towards returning to the desired mental state.

[0059] In cases where brainwave patterns continue to deviate from the optimal range, the sound enclosure dynamically adjusts the soundscapes in real-time. Specifically, when high beta activity (above 38Hz) is detected, the speaker 106 emits soothing, nature-based sounds such as ocean waves, birds, or flowing water, promoting relaxation and the production of alpha waves. Conversely, when low theta activity (below 4Hz) is detected, indicating that the user may be drifting into a sleepy state, the microcontroller adjusts the auditory feedback to more invigorating sounds to restore focus and engagement, aiding the user in regaining mental alertness and maintaining optimal brainwave activity.

[0060] In another embodiment of the present invention, when the EEG detects high theta waves (above 8Hz), which are indicative of mental stress, the LED 107 will change to a calming colour, such as blue or purple. This visual cue signals the user to relax and refocus their mental state. In contrast, when the EEG detects brainwave patterns indicative of deeper meditation states, such as alpha or theta waves, the LED 107 will emit a dimmer red or amber light, fostering a conducive environment for deep meditation.

[0061] The EEG headgear continuously monitors the user’s brainwave activity during different exercises and, upon detecting deviations, such as excessive beta wave activity, activates the Interactive Cognitive Training Module within the AR glasses 104. This module engages the user by presenting cognitive games or tasks, such as memory exercises or visual focus tasks, displayed on the AR glasses 104. These exercises are designed to help the user shift their brainwave activity into the desired range, such as promoting alpha waves or reducing beta waves, thus supporting the user’s mental state in real-time.

[0062] In another embodiment of the present invention, a warming sensation provided by the heating unit 203, which aid in promoting deeper meditation by encouraging muscle relaxation and improving blood flow. This physical sensation, in conjunction with brainwave monitoring, helps to maintain the frequency range between 8Hz and 12Hz, which is associated with deeper alpha wave activity. By maintaining this optimal brainwave range, the microcontroller facilitates a relaxed yet focused mental state, conducive to deeper meditation. The warming effect supports physical relaxation, which, in turn, helps the user achieve a state of calmness and focus, optimizing the mind-body connection for enhanced meditation outcomes.

[0063] In another embodiment of the present invention if the EEG detects an imbalance in the user's brainwave activity, such as insufficient alpha wave production (i.e., less than 8Hz), the TDCS electrodes 201 deliver a mild, low-level electrical current to targeted areas of the brain. These current aims to stimulate neuronal activity and promote the generation of alpha waves within the optimal frequency range of 8-12Hz. By doing so, the microcontroller assists in rebalancing the brain's electrical activity, thereby facilitating a more relaxed, focused, and meditative state conducive to mindfulness or meditation practices.

[0064] In another embodiment of the present invention a small, portable breath trainer unit is integrated into the side of the headgear, positioned near the user's nose to assist in regulating breathing patterns. When the EEG detects an overactive brainwave pattern, such as excessive beta activity (i.e., frequency above 35Hz), the breath trainer activates to provide real-time feedback to the user. The microcontroller utilizes gentle vibrations, visual signals, or auditory cues to prompt the user to adopt slower, deeper breathing techniques. This encourages the shift from high beta to more relaxed brainwave states, such as alpha or theta waves, thereby promoting mental calmness, focus, and relaxation.

[0065] The breath trainer unit emits gentle vibrations, visual cues, or sound signals, instructing the user to slow their breathing. These cues prompt the user to take deeper, slower breaths, typically around 5-6 breaths per minute. The feedback provided by the unit guides the user to regulate their breath and align their breathing pattern with the desired brainwave frequency, promoting relaxation and encouraging alpha or theta wave production.

[0066] In another embodiment of the present invention, when the EEG detects excessive muscular tension, often associated with heightened stress or overactive beta brainwaves, the TENS pads 204 are activated. The TENS pads 204 deliver mild electrical stimulation to the muscles, promoting muscle relaxation. This assists in alleviating physical tension, thereby facilitating the user’s transition to a more relaxed and focused state. By reducing muscular stress, the system 100 aids in enhancing brainwave activity within the frequency range of 4-12 Hz, specifically targeting alpha or theta waves, which are indicative of a calm, yet alert mental state conducive to relaxation and meditation.

[0067] In another embodiment of the present invention, when the EEG detects negative emotional responses, such as stress, the bio-impedance sensors monitor fluctuations in the user’s physiological indicators, including heart rate and skin conductivity. These changes typically signify an emotional state of distress. Upon detecting such fluctuations, the microcontroller triggers feedback prompts through auditory or visual cues, such as instructions like "relax" or "breathe deeply." These prompts are designed to guide the user towards a state of calmness, helping to regulate their emotional response and support the reduction of stress. This ensures the user returns to a more balanced and relaxed mental state.

[0068] Yet in another embodiment of the present invention, when the EEG detects low levels of desired brainwave activity, specifically when the frequency falls below 8Hz (indicating insufficient alpha waves), the microcontroller reactivates the frequency modulation (FM) unit to address this imbalance. The frequency modulation (FM) unit delivers targeted frequency pulses to specific brain regions, stimulating neural activity to enhance alpha wave production. These pulses are calibrated to promote the user’s transition into a deeper meditative state, encouraging relaxation and focus. This intervention helps the user reach a more optimal brainwave frequency range, fostering improved mental clarity and supporting the overall meditation or mindfulness experience.

[0069] Moreover, a battery is associated with the system 100 for powering up electrical and electronically operated components associated with the system 100 and supplying a voltage to the components. The battery used herein is preferably a Lithium-ion battery which is a rechargeable unit that demands power supply after getting drained. The battery stores the electric current derived from an external source in the form of chemical energy, which when required by the electronic component of the system 100, derives the required power from the battery for proper functioning of the system 100.
