Publication number: 20140235928Abstract: A transcranial magnetic stimulation coil which is location-specific for medial brain regions or lateral brain regions is designed with multiple spaced apart stimulating elements having current flow in a first direction, and multiple return elements having current flow in a second direction which is opposite the first direction. The multiple stimulating elements are distributed around a central axis of the coil.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2013Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: BRAINSWAY, INC.Inventors: ABRAHAM ZANGEN, YIFTACH ROTH

Publication number: 20130178692Abstract: A system and methods for transcranial magnetic stimulation, the system including a helmet, a positioning portion, a stimulator and a cooling system, are disclosed. The helmet includes a coil for deep brain magnetic stimulation. The coil has a base portion, and return portions, which may include a protruding return portion and a contacting return portion. The coil is designed to minimize unintended stimulation of portions of the brain, while reducing accumulation of surface charges. The coil is stimulated at several locations and/or at different times so as to focus the electrical field on a specific deep neuronal structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2013Publication date: July 11, 2013Applicants: BRAINSWAY, INC., YEDA RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CO. LTD.
