A device for stimulation via special electric and magnetic fields and optimized field applicators is provided. Derived from human physiology, the autonomic/vegetative nervous system, specifically its sympathetic and parasympathetic components, can be controlled by signals in the frequency ranges of 0.05 to 0.15 Hz and of 0.15 to 0.30 Hz, respectively. Along with other components, these constitute integral parts of corresponding modular physical cardiovascular stimulation programs. By addition of characteristic sinusoidal oscillations, including a positive or negative electric field between the head area and a peripheral area of a human or animal, with the corresponding low-frequency sympathetic or parasympathetic control frequency as base oscillation and with application-typical EEG frequencies and higher-frequency sinusoidal oscillations in the range of ca. 250 to 1500 Hz, characteristic stimulation programs can be established in modular configuration. The introduction of the information parameters for the sympathetic and parasympathetic components, via physical stimulation in the area of the spinal cord, the principal part of the central nervous system, is effected by the field applicators being embodied such that, in the upper body area, a concentration of the magnetic flux, which is generated by a mat applicator, is established in the center of the body, and, likewise on the basis of the physiological relationships in the lower half of the body, the associated mat applicator system is embodied such that the field energy is distributed to both leg areas, and two field strength maxima are thus obtained. To allow the advantage of stimulation via the electric potentials to be combined with the input of the magnetic field effects, a field applicator is equipped with a combination of a magnetic-field-generating coil arrangement and of an electrode arrangement generating the electric field. The electrode generating the electric field can at the same time be designed as a magnetic-field-generating coil.
