ABSTRACT:
A self-sufficient sentic cycler unit usable by a subject to generate and express emotions as an art form of touch and in doing so to overcome inhibitive and repressive tendencies, and to relieve stress and dissipate anxiety. The unit includes a solid-state memory having digitally stored therein a set of words representing different emotions, such as love or anger, as well as a click or other command signal instructing the subject to tactilely express the emotion represented by the word selected from the memory. The memory is controlled by a clock and a programmed microprocessor to produce a sentic cycle in the course of which words are selected from the set in a predetermined sequence, each selected word being followed by a series of time-spaced clicks. The digital output of the memory is converted into an analog signal that is reproduced so that it can be heard by the subject. The unit is provided with a finger rest which is to be pressed by the subject who after hearing a selected word then hears a command click in the click series following the word. The subject, after hearing each click, then exerts finger pressure on the finger rest in a manner expressive of the emotion evoked by the word.
