The Echofone 
When you put on this device, and play the music or sounds of your choice, you can actualy 'hear' the sounds, but not through your ears- through your skin.
The makers say a person will experience sound as they never experienced it before, because this device enhances it, gives a totaly new dimension you may have never heard before. The music you hear are first turned into ultrasonic frequencies (higher than human hearing), then transmitted through your skin deep into your ear.
Sound then feels and seems different. In other words it makes the sounds 'come alive'.... A person wanting to learn a new language accurately, for example, can listen to a language program and learn how to pronounce a word or phrase exactly as heard by the instructor. A person who has trouble hearing high frequencies can be able to hear them through this device it is claimed.....
It also claims to enhance sound programs that promote healing or improvement, so for example binaural beats, healing sounds, meditation programs, can be enhanced by the device.
Triggers 
This book was published in 1987, and is a best seller from author Stanely Mann. I've been aware of this book for quite a while, but have never purchased it, but the premise and techniques of the book caught my interest. It's also hard to get complete info on what the book contains but it's available to purchase.
You can motivate yourself in an instant by activating a personal, pre-selected 'trigger' that will put you on automatic pilot. So if you just don't feel like cleaning up the garage, fire off a certain trigger, and your mood, attitude and energy level changes, and you automatically start cleaning up your garage....
I managed to find the author's site and found this description for his book;

DOCTOR USES TRIGGERS TO ERASE FEAR OF BEING ASSERTIVE. John was a brilliant doctor. As smart as he was, he was timid. He had trouble talking to the loan officer at his bank. He even had trouble getting his staff to treat patients properly-with caring enthusiasm.
Using the TRIGGER techniques that I helped him install, he replaced his fear with confidence. "What a relief" he wrote, "I really hated asking for a much needed loan. Not only did I persuade my banker to give me my loan, I can now talk to him freely about my finances-and he has given me some good advice.
It feels good to be able to talk to him man-to-man. And, yes, I got my employees to treat patients the way I want them to be treated. Business is better than ever."

Artificial Sunshine Lamp 
I'm really kind of curious about these devices. We all know how we feel when the sun is out shining bright, that happy, energetic cheerful feeling... This type of device is supposed to simulate sunlight and the makers claims the body responds to it as sunlight too, so it can alleviate things like jet lag, insomnia, fatigue, seasonal change disorder......
I'm thinking about raining days or months, and how it can give that same feeling.....
