Title:
MAGNETIC STIMULATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/147064
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a magnetic stimulator for magnetically stimulating a specific area of a subject. The magnetic stimulator is provided with a magnetic field generating means that has at least a stimulation coil and generates a dynamic magnetic field for applying magnetic stimuli, a coil holder that is manipulated to change the position of the magnetic field generating means relative to the specific area of the subject, a plurality of magnetic field sensors that detect the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating means, and a user interface that, either before or during the magnetic stimuli, provides instructions, which indicates the displacement that needs to be performed by the coil holder; the instructions are generated on the basis of the results from the detection of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating means with the magnetic field sensors.
