ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SMOOTHING DYSFUNCTIONS OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE USE OF BIOMAGNETOMETER

摘要

A device for smoothing epileptic foci and seizures consists of one or more generators (4) of alternating low voltage at a given frequency from 2-7 Hz, which supply a given number of selected coils (1) from one or more groups of similar coils properly arranged. These coils are supplied by a current whose form, amplitude and frequency are controlled by a microprocessor (5). The currents in the coils (1) generate magnetic fields which have similar characteristics to the magnetic fields emitted by the epileptic foci. The characteristics (frequencies, power, amplitudes and coordinates) of those fields are determined with the help of a biomagnetometer (SQUID) and a proper software for data analysis. The data are processed by the microprocessor (5). A second microprocessor (6) controls the general operation of the device.
