Abstract
Disclosed are devices, methods, and systems for helping to prevent (or preventing) or treat brain and/or body disorders. Embodiments of the invention have utility for enhancing cognitive function during aging. The invention utilizes electromagnetic stimulation (EMS) that can provide a range of EMS parameters and modalities. The EMS may be utilized in conjunction with physiologic sensors that can provide feedback for possible EMS modifications.
Claims29
A device to treat a human subject using electromagnetic stimulation (EMS), comprising:
- a head unit to be worn on a head region of the human subject, the head unit comprising:
- a first group of multiple antennae on a first side of the head unit;
- and
- a second group of multiple antennae on a second side of the head unit;
- wherein the head unit is programmed such that each of the multiple antennae in each group is configured to sequentially discharge electromagnetic waves such that no two antennae on a same side of the head discharge simultaneously;
- a power source connected to the first group and second group;
- and a control panel connected to the power source and configured to activate the first group and second group to discharge electromagnetic waves to create electromagnetic stimulation (EMS) in the subject's brain at a frequency of between 300 and 3,000 MHz to enhance neuronal function of neurons of the human subject.
4 more elements
A method, comprising:
- providing multiple antennae on either side of a user's head via a head unit with a conforming fabric;
- and
- performing transcranial electromagnetic treatment (TEMT) by applying electromagnetic stimulation (EMS) to the user to enhance neuronal function of neurons of the user by:
- activating the antennae over a predetermined period of time and with given parameter selection;
- activating antennae to discharge electromagnetic waves at frequencies between 1 megahertz (MHz) and 25 gigahertz (GHz) to create the EMS in a user's brain;
- and
- sequentially activating antenna on either side of a brain such that no two antenna are simultaneously transmitting on a given side of the brain.
4 more elements
A method, comprising:
- providing transcranial electromagnetic treatment (TEMT) by:
- determining an electromagnetic stimulation (EMS) profile based on an affected brain area and a neurological condition to be treated, wherein the EMS profile comprises:
- a specific absorption rate value between 0.1 to 1.6 W/kg;
- a wave frequency between 1 megahertz (MHz) and 25 gigahertz (GHz);
- a power level;
- a treatment time;
- and
- a periodicity;
- providing multiple antennae on either side of a user's head via a head unit;
- and
- applying EMS to a sub-cortical brain area of the user to enhance neuronal function of neurons of the user, ameliorate amyloid protein aggregation, and enhance mitochondrial energy production by:
- activating the antennae to discharge electromagnetic waves to a user's brain over a predetermined period of time based on the EMS profile;
- and
- sequentially activating antenna from arrays on either side of a brain such that no two antenna are simultaneously transmitting on a given side of the brain.
