1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • one or more electrically-conductive elements;

    an energy-regulating housing adapted to contain the electrically-conductive element, the energy regulating housing adapted to electrically insulate the electrically-conductive element and dissipate heat;

    a stimulus generator in electrical communication with the electrically-conductive element and configured to deliver stimulus energy to the electrically-conductive element in a manner that allows the element to generate an electromagnetic field to stimulate a portion of a neural system of a subject; and

    a power source in communication with the stimulus generator for providing stimulus energy to the stimulus generator.
