Abstract: Methods and systems to control magnetic fields and magnetic field induced currents, and to provide stimulations within a patient's body, e.g.: deep brain stimulation, in a non-invasive manner and with greater focus and control than has been afforded by prior known methods and systems. An array of magnetic coils is provided and positionable about a portion of a patient's body, and are configured to create a small region of a magnetic hole, or configured to create a small region of concentrated magnetic field strength, or their combination, and at depths within the patient's body in a focused region and sparing the surrounding tissues of the focused region, that have previously not been receptive to non-invasive TMS methods, which are either focused but can affect only the surface and shadow areas, or that can reach certain depths but by doing so only through affecting large surface areas and deep tissue areas.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems to control magnetic fields and magnetic field induced currents, and more particularly to provide stimulations within a patient's body, such as deep brain stimulation, in a non-invasive manner and with greater focus and control than has been afforded by prior known methods and systems. In accordance with certain aspects of an embodiment, an array of magnetic coils is provided and positionable about a portion of a patient's body. During operation, at least some of the magnetic coils function as DC coil pairs configured to generate a DC magnetic field, while at least some DC coil of the other magnetic coils function as transient magnetic field generators to generate an induced current within a portion of the patient's body, such as in a region of the patient's brain.
