A method comprising:
- applying output of a magnetic field close to a head of a subject, and moving at least one of
- an intrinsic frequency of a specified EEG band of the subject toward a pre-selected intrinsic frequency of the specified EEG band and
- a Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency within the specified EEG band of the subject toward a pre-selected Q-factor;
- wherein movement of the intrinsic frequency or the pre-selected Q-factor improves at least one of
- neuropathic pain in the subject,
- a neurological disorder in the subject,
- a symptom of brain damage, and
- brain dysfunction in the subject.

A device comprising:
- a means for adjusting output of a magnetic field and moving at least one of:
- an intrinsic frequency of a specified EEG band of a subject toward a pre-selected intrinsic frequency of the specified EEG band;
- and
- a Q-factor of an intrinsic frequency within a specified EEG band of a subject toward a pre-selected Q-factor,
- wherein the means for adjusting the output of the magnetic field is adapted to apply said magnetic field close to a head of the subject, and
- wherein at least one of the pre-selected intrinsic frequency and the pre-selected Q-factor is chosen in order to improve at least one of:
- neuropathic pain in the subject,
- a neurological disorder in the subject,
- a symptom of brain damage, and
- brain dysfunction in the subject.
