Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé servant à détecter la perception d'un mammifère et sa réaction à un objet extracorporel placé à proximité de son corps. Ce dispositif mesure le changement de tonicité des muscles lisses et comprend une substance ou un objet (12), un ensemble de positionnement (11), un détecteur de position (14) et un ordinateur (19).
