First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of modulating a deep brain target using very low-power stimulation, the method comprising:
- aiming a plurality of TMS electromagnets at a deep-brain target;
applying power to each of the TMS electromagnets at a level that is below the motor threshold (MT) at the target, and thereby modulating the activity of the deep brain target region.

Abstract
Systems and methods for modulating deep brain target regions using an array of TMS electromagnets, wherein each TMS electromagnet stimulates the target at a level that is below motor threshold (MT). Neurological disorders (or disorders having neurological effects) may be treated by sub-MT stimulation of deep-brain targets from an array of TMS electromagnets.
