Systems and methods for modulating the electrical activity of a brain using neuro-EEG synchronization therapy

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 moving at least one of:

• an intrinsic frequency of a brain of the subject within a specified EEG band toward a pre-selected intrinsic frequency within the same specified EEG band and a Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency toward a target Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency, 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 within the specified EEG band;
• (b) a plurality of frequencies within the specified EEG band;
• and
• (c) the intrinsic frequency of the brain of the subject within the 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 comprises:
• a first processor that controls the application of the magnetic field and
• wherein the first processor or a second processor moves at least one of:
• (a) an intrinsic frequency of a brain of the subject in a specified EEG band to a target intrinsic frequency within the specified EEG band using the magnetic field;
• (b) a Q-factor of an intrinsic frequency of the brain of the subject within a specified EEG band to a target Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency using the magnetic field;
• (c) a coherence value of intrinsic frequencies among multiple sites in the brain of the subject within a specified EEG band using the magnetic field wherein if the coherence value is higher than a pre-selected coherence value, applying at least two asynchronous magnetic fields close to the head of the subject, and wherein if the coherence value is lower than the pre-selected coherence value, applying at least one synchronized magnetic field close to the head of the subject;
• and
• (d) an EEG phase between two sites in the brain of the subject of a specified EEG frequency using the magnetic field wherein the magnetic field comprises a first magnetic field that is in-phase with a second magnetic field or a first magnetic field that is out of phase with a second magnetic field.

A device for treating Parkinson's disease, treating coma, treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), treating amblyopia, and/or enhancing cognitive performance in a subject, comprising:

• a magnetic field generator configured to apply a magnetic field close to a head of the subject, wherein the magnetic field generator comprises
• a first processor that controls the application of the magnetic field and
• wherein the first processor or a second processor moves
• an intrinsic frequency of a specified EEG band of the subject within the specified EEG
• band toward a target intrinsic frequency in the specified EEG band using the magnetic field,
• a Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency towards a target Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency using the magnetic field,
• a coherence value of intrinsic frequencies among multiple sites in a brain of the subject within a specified EEG band toward a target coherence value using the magnetic field wherein if the coherence value is higher than the target coherence value, applying at least two asynchronous magnetic fields close to the head of the subject, and wherein if the coherence value is lower than the target coherence value, applying at least one synchronized magnetic field close to the head of the subject;
• and
• an EEG phase between two sites in the brain of the subject of a specified EEG frequency toward a target EEG phase of the specified EEG frequency using the magnetic field wherein the magnetic field comprises one or more magnetic field generators that are of the same frequency and are in-phase with each other, of the same frequency and out of phase with each other, or
• a combination thereof.
