ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for assisting individuals to achieve the mental and physical relaxation which often characterizes successful meditation. Minute saccadic eye movements are monitored, and the individual is made conscious of any such movement by a sensible signal, such as an audible tone. By reducing undesired saccadic movements, the individual attains the desired state of psycho-physical relaxation. The preferred apparatus, carried by eyeglasses-type support, utilizes reflections of non-visible radiant energy to monitor eye movement.
