1. A magnetic depolarizer system for the treatment of a neurological disorder, the system comprising:

  • a readily portable magnetic depolarizer adapted for placement at a specific location onto the head of a patient who is subjected to neurological events, the magnetic depolarizer having a least one electromagnetic coil that is capable of providing a time varying magnetic field pulsed on and off at a rate between approximately 0.1 and 10 Hz, the magnetic field having a peak intensity at some portion of the patient'"'"'s brain of at least 0.1 Tesla;

    electrical circuitry connected to the magnetic depolarizer for providing an electrical current through the at least one electromagnetic coil, the electrical circuitry including at least one operating parameter that is preset by a physician; and

    , a positioner for placing the magnetic depolarizer system onto a specific region of the head of the patient.
