What it is Filled
The action of exciting or activating a system, organism, tissue or process to respond, from starting up a machine or process, through biological and medical stimulation such as electrostimulation of nerves and muscles, biostimulation of cells with light or agents, and induction of labour, to sensory stimulation that can become sensory overload, and everyday senses of prompting or bothering; stimulation is a general concept applied across physiology, medicine, psychology, engineering and economics.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain stimulation as a general concept and its main senses, relay medical and psychological forms in general terms from clinical sources, describe engineering and economic uses, and distinguish the senses.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Input-response relation
- Many domains
- Therapeutic forms
- Overload as excess
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Advise a specific person to start, stop or adjust a medical stimulation therapy.
- Apply electrical or other stimulation to a person or animal without consent and clinical oversight.
- Expose people to strong sensory stimulation, such as flashing light or loud sound, without warning.
- Present unproven stimulation treatments as effective.
Only with a human decision
- Any stimulation of a person's body, including devices worn by the user.
- Changing settings of an implanted or medical stimulator.
May
- Explain the senses of stimulation in engineering, biology and medicine, naming which is meant.
- Relay how stimulation therapies are described in medical sources, with their source.
- Start or stimulate a process or machine the agent is authorized to operate.
Moral aspects Filled
- Stimulation of the body touches health and consent directly.
- Sensory overload can cause real distress, especially for autistic people.
Who is affected
- Patients
- Autistic and sensory-sensitive people
- Clinicians
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody owns the concept; the clinician or operator answers for each stimulation applied.
