Abstract: A portable therapeutic field generator device (10) generates a reduced magnetic field component for a relatively large electric field by virtue that adjacent conductive tracks in a radiating element (40, 50) conduct electrical current in opposing directions. The device (10) includes a processor (12) that, in response to a control algorithm stored in memory (14), supplies a pulse wave (22) to a circuit containing the radiating element (40, 50). The pulse establishes generation of a base heartbeat reference having a frequency around a nominal heart rate. At periodic times, the base heart beat reference is supplemented by mutually exclusive periods of alpha wave, theta wave and delta wave generation (or other selected frequencies below about 200 Hz) based on selected brainwave frequencies for these waves, with the pulses having a duration generally corresponding to that ascribed to neuron depolarisation pulses.
