Title:
MAGNETIC FIELD STIMULATION TECHNIQUES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002085449
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention involves enhancing brain function by stimulating the brain using magnetic fields. Applications of the new methods include improving the condition of individuals with cognitive disorders, such as depression, and studying the effects of neural stimulation using induced electric fields. These techniques can avoid deleterious effects of psychotropic pharmaceutical treatments, and provide a relatively safe, comfortable, inexpensive means of direct cranial stimulation.
