ABSTRACT:
A plurality of individually controlled pressure applying devices with a scalp contacting member, which are controlled by a computer, is attached to a helmet or a cap-like unit, each over an opening formed at locations which would correspond to the desired pressure points of the scalp. Each of the openings receives a pressure applying device, such as an electrical servo motor, stepmotor, or solenoid, and a hydraulic or pneumatic plunger, etc. The pressure applying device may be non-adjustably or adjustably mounted to the helmet. The pressure applying device can be attached to the helmet in any conventional manner so long as the pressure applying device is rigidly attached to the helmet so that the scalp contacting member can make a firm contact and apply pressure to the scalp. Each of the pressure applying devices is individually controlled, i.e., for time duration and the frequency of pressure application.
