Abstract
The invention relates to a method for stimulating specific areas of a brain using an induction device, comprising the following steps: recording the spatial structure of the head, in particular the brain; generating a simulation model of the induction device; and arranging the induction device relative to the head such that a specific area of the brain determined by means of the simulation model of the induction device is stimulated by a current flowing in the induction device, as well as to a method for stimulating specific areas of a brain using an induction device, comprising the following steps: recording the spatial structure of the head, in particular the brain; generating a simulation model of the head; and arranging the induction device relative to the head such that a specific area of the brain determined by means of the simulation model of the head is stimulated by a current flowing in the induction device, as well as to a device for stimulating specific areas of a brain using an induction device connected to a marker.

-
at least one marker connected to the head;
a position detection device which detects the position of the at least one marker connected to the induction device and the at least one marker connected to the head; and
a simulation device which determines the area of stimulation in the brain to be stimulated by the induction device, wherein a model of the induction device and/or of the head is used for simulating. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
