1. A therapeutic brain stimulation system, comprising at least two and preferably three or more stimulation signal emitters adapted to generate stimulating signals which in combination allow for wireless stimulation of neuronal cells in a patient'"'"'s brain, wherein said signal emitters are arranged or adapted to be arranged such that their individual stimulating signals can be emitted from different positions towards a common target region in a patient'"'"'s brain so as to provide an accumulated stimulating effect on said target region, and wherein the signal emitters are adjustable such that the stimulation signals accumulating in the target region do not negatively affect the anatomic structure of neuronal brain cells in said target region, wherein the signal emitters are adapted to be fixed in cranial bone structure, so as to penetrate only the hard outer layer thereof or so as to completely penetrate the cranial bone structure, wherein each of the signal emitters is contained in a mounting tube with one or more screw threads provided on an outer surface of the mounting tube for fixation in cranial bone structure.
