Method and apparatus for magnetic brain wave stimulation
First Claim
1. An apparatus to influence the mental state of a selected user, which comprises:
- a) positioning at least one electrical sensor upon a user'"'"'s neck near the brain stem in proximity to the posterior aspect of the user'"'"'s superior cervical region, in an area that is immediately inferior to the cranial cavity;
b) recording the selected user'"'"'s brain wave signal from the at least one electrical sensor to a suitable memory means;
c) modifying said pre-recorded brain wave signal by identifying and selectively recording, deleting and repeating selected portions of the pre-recorded brain wave signal, to create a streamlined brain wave signal;
d) storing said streamlined brain wave signal for subsequent use by said selected user;
e) selectively actuating said streamlined brain wave signal, to produce an electrical signal for transmission to at least one electromagnet;
to produce a corresponding streamlined magnetic signal at right angles to said electrical signal; and
f) positioning said at least one electromagnet upon a removable neck apparatus positioned upon a selected user'"'"'s neck, near to the user'"'"'s brain stem in proximity to the posterior aspect of the user'"'"'s superior cervical region, in an area that is immediately inferior to the cranial cavity; and
g) selectively controlling the intensity, frequency and duration of the streamlined brain wave signal to influence the desired mental state of the user.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a streamlined magnetic brain wave stimulation apparatus, which receives electronic signals based upon pre-recorded brain wave patterns. The brain wave patterns actuate electromagnets placed on a user'"'"'s neck adjacent to the user'"'"'s brainstem, to create a plurality of magnetic pulses to influence a user'"'"'s brain centers to influence a desired mental state. Rhythmic electrical brain wave signals are recorded, identified, divided and repeated to create a streamlined brain wave signal to induce a desired mental state. The streamlined patterns are then recorded on a suitable memory means. When the memory means is actuated, the rhythmic electrical signals are sent to electromagnets located in proximity to the back of the user'"'"'s neck in proximity to the posterior aspect of the user'"'"'s superior cervical region, in an area that is immediately inferior to the cranial cavity to electromagnetically stimulate the brain stem, to influence a desired mental state. This produces a gentle magnetic stimulation, which is neither felt nor discerned by the user. The gentle magnetic stimulation passes through the brain stem to the brain centers to influence the desired mental state.
