Control of body electrical activity by magnetic fields

摘要

Apparatus ( 40 ) for generating a localized magnetic field inside a body of a living subject ( 44 ) includes first and second electromagnets ( 46,48 ), adapted to be positioned in proximity to the body so as to apply magnetic fields thereto. The core ( 50 ) of at least one of the electromagnets has a shape that can be altered under control of an operator of the apparatus so as to adjust the magnetic fields to assume a desired relation within the body.
