Abstract
Described are methods, devices, and systems for a novel, inexpensive, easy to use therapy for treatment of coma, post-traumatic stress disorder, Parkinson's disease, cognitive performance, and/or amblyopia. Described are methods and devices to treat coma, post-traumatic stress disorder, Parkinson's disease, cognitive performance, and/or amblyopia that involves no medication. Methods and devices described herein use alternating magnetic fields to gently “tune” the brain and affect symptoms of coma, post-traumatic stress disorder, Parkinson's disease, cognitive performance, and/or amblyopia.
Claims21
A method of treating Parkinson's disease, treating coma, treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), treating amblyopia, and/or enhancing cognitive performance, in a subject, comprising:
- (a) adjusting output of a magnetic field for one or more of the following:
- (1) influencing an intrinsic frequency of a specified EEG band of the subject toward a target intrinsic frequency of the specified EEG band,
- (2) for influencing a Q-factor of an intrinsic frequency within a specified EEG band of the subject toward a target Q-factor,
- (3) influencing a coherence of intrinsic frequencies among multiple sites in a brain of the subject within a specified EEG band toward a target coherence value;
- (4) influencing an EEG phase between two sites in the brain of a subject of a specified EEG frequency toward a target EEG phase of the specified EEG frequency;
- and
- (b) applying said magnetic field close to a head of the subject.
A method of treating Parkinson's disease, treating coma, treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), treating amblyopia, and/or enhancing cognitive performance in a subject, comprising adjusting an intrinsic frequency of the subject by applying a magnetic field close to a head of the subject, wherein the magnetic field comprises at least one of (a) a single target frequency;
- (b) a plurality of frequencies within a specified EEG band;
- and (c) an intrinsic frequency of a brain of the subject within a specified EEG band.
A device for use in treating Parkinson's disease, treating coma, treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), treating amblyopia, and/or enhancing cognitive performance in a subject, comprising:
- a means for applying a magnetic field to a head of a subject;
- whereby the means for applying the magnetic field is capable of influencing at least one of:
- (a) an intrinsic frequency of a brain of the subject within a specified EEG band;
- (b) a Q-factor of an intrinsic frequency of a brain of the subject within a specified EEG band;
- (c) a coherence of intrinsic frequencies among multiple sites in a brain of the subject within a specified EEG band;
- and (d) a EEG phase between two sites in the brain of a subject of a specified EEG frequency.
