First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for modifying neural transmission patterns, the method comprising:
- noninvasively applying a first type of energy to a region of neural tissue;
noninvasively applying a second type of energy to the region of tissue, wherein the combined effect modifies a neural transmission pattern between cells of the neural tissue.
