| 20120101366 | MAGNETIC STIMULATION DEVICE AND METHOD - The present publication discloses a device and method for generating magnetic pulses and directing them to brain. The device in accordance with the invention comprises means ( | 04-26-2012 |
| 20110275881 | Transcranial magnetic stimulation induction coil device and method of manufacture - A transcranial magnetic stimulation induction coil device (“TMS coil device”) is manufactured to contain coil windings of a predetermined size and shape and fixedly positioned at a predetermined location within and orientation in relation to a casing of the TMS coil device. In one embodiment, the coil windings are encased in a casting at a predetermined location within and orientation in relation to the casting, and the casting is fixedly positioned at a predetermined location within and orientation in relation to the casing. The size and shape of the coil windings and the casing within, and the location and orientation of the coil windings in relation to each other and the casing of, the TMS coil device are known with a high level of precision, such that navigated brain stimulation can be performed with the TMS coil device with a high degree of accuracy. In another embodiment, the TMS coil device defines a space interposed between the coil windings and the casing and containing a gas which absorbs heat energy generated at the coil windings, thereby reducing the rate of transfer of heat energy from the coil windings to the casing during operation of the TMS coil device. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110218381 | Magnetic Stimulation coils with electrically conducting structures - The present invention introduces a novel apparatus ( | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110207988 | Method, apparatus and computer program for non-invasive brain stimulation when target muscles are suitably active - The present invention introduces a magnetic stimulation method in which a desired biosignal value or a range of values for at least one target is determined. Upon stimulation, magnetic field pulses of short duration are applied to the brain and the biosignal, such as electromyograph (EMG), value (S) of each target, such as a muscle, is measured before each TMS pulse. The firing of a TMS pulse is automatically prevented if the corresponding measured biosignal value (S) is outside the predetermined limits. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110060179 | Transcranial magnetic stimulation induction coil device with attachment portion for receiving tracking device - A transcranial magnetic stimulation induction coil device having a tracking device with a mating portion and at least one set of two or more reflective elements, a casing separate from a tracking device and containing at least one coil winding having a known orientation within the casing, and an attachment portion corresponding to the mating portion for removably attaching the tracking device to the casing such that, when attached, the reflective elements have a known orientation with respect to the known orientation of the coil winding. | 03-10-2011 |
