PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clarify the detailed structural feature of a vibration that can introduce the fundamental brain activation effect and thereby provide an apparatus or the like for generating a vibration that can introduce hypersonic effect.SOLUTION: Apparatus is provided for generating a vibration or a vibration signal, which contains audible range components that are vibration components in the audible frequency range and super-highfrequency components within a range exceeding the audible frequency range up to a predetermined maximum frequency, and which has an autocorrelation order represented by at least either one of a first property and a second property. By applying the vibration or an actual vibration generated from the vibration signal to a human being, a fundamental brain activation effect for activating the fundamental brain network system constituted of a fundamental brain including the brain stem, thalamus and hypothalamus that are regions to bear the fundamental function of the human being and the fundamental brain network of neuronal projection from the fundamental brain to various brain regions is introduced. Further, an electronic instrument, electric vehicle, or the like including the apparatus.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】基幹脳活性化効果を導くことのできる振動の詳細な構造上の特徴を明確にしてハイパーソニック・エフェクトを導くことができる振動を発生するための装置等を提供する。【解決手段】振動発生装置は、可聴周波数範囲の振動成分である可聴域成分と、上記可聴周波数範囲をこえ所定の最大周波数までの範囲内の超高周波成分とを有し、所定の第1の性質と所定の第2の性質とのうち少なくともいずれかの性質で表される自己相関秩序を有する振動又は振動信号を発生する手段を備え、上記振動又は上記振動信号から発生させた実際の振動を人間に印加することにより、当該人間の脳幹・視床・視床下部を含む脳の基幹的機能を担う部位である基幹脳及び当該基幹脳を拠点に脳内に投射する基幹脳ネットワークからなる基幹脳ネットワーク系を活性化する基幹脳活性化効果を導く。振動発生装置を備えた電子機器や電気自動車等を提供する。【選択図】図61
