Patent No. 7033312 Magnetic field stimulation techniques
Patent No. 7033312 Magnetic field stimulation techniques (Rohan, et al., Apr 25, 2006) 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. Notes: CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation of incorporates by reference U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/839,258, filed Apr. 20, 2001, which now is U.S. Pat. No. 6,572,528. TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to magnetic stimulation techniques, and more particularly to neural stimulation u
