  • Patent number: 5697883
    Abstract: A method of inhibiting seizure activity in epileptic individuals includes determining the intensity, frequency and skull coordinates of the magnetic field emitted from the epileptic focal points of an epileptic individual. The determined frequency of the magnetic field emitted from the epileptic focal points is then generated and applied to a device which emits a magnetic field, of the intensity and frequency of the magnetic fields emitted by the epileptic focal points, to the skull of the epileptic individual at the skull coordinates of each epileptic focal point.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 16, 1997
    Inventors: Photios Anninos, Nicolaos Tsagas
  • Patent number: 5496258
    Abstract: A device suitable for treating epileptic individuals to inhibit epileptic seizures is disclosed. The device utilizes information pertaining to the location and characteristics of an epileptic individual's epileptic foci as determined by a SQUID, and applies magnetic fields to the foci of an appropriate intensity and frequency to inhibit seizure activity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5453072
    Abstract: The invention is an electronic device for smoothing of dysfunctions of the central nervous system in conjunction with the use of a biomagnetometer SQUID. The device includes one generator of alternating low voltage which produces a frequency from 2 Hz to 7 Hz, and which supplies a number of selected coils of one group which consists of similar rows of coils, or a plurality of groups of similar coils arranged in rows. The device may include plural generators of alternating low voltage which each produces a frequency from 2 Hz to 7 Hz and which supply simultaneously a number of selected coils of one or more groups of similar coils arranged in rows.
