Embodiment Construction

[0014] figure 1 A system 10 configured to administer vestibular stimulation to a subject 12 is illustrated. This involves stimulating the vestibular system of subject 12 according to a treatment protocol that prescribes one or more parameters of stimulation, thereby having a therapeutic effect on the vestibular system of subject 12 . For example, the treatment regimen may be designed to affect the balance and / or spatial orientation of subject 12 to induce a swaying sensation, reduce vertigo, and / or provide other effects on the vestibular system. A therapeutic effect on the vestibular system of subject 12 may be aimed at affecting another physiological system through the vestibular system. For example, one or more functions of the hypothalamic system can be influenced by stimulation of the vestibular system. For example, US application 11 / 581,670, filed October 16, 2006 ("the '670 application") describes the possible effects of vestibular stimulation on the hypothalamic syste...

Abstract

The subject's vestibular system is stimulated according to a treatment regimen specifying one or more parameters of stimulation. The system is configured such that at a single site, one or more parameters of stimulation vary with different locations at the site. This can enhance the customizability and/or effectiveness of the stimulus.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the delivery of vestibular stimulation to a subject that is customizable to the subject's anatomy and sensitivity. Background technique [0002] Systems and methods of vestibular stimulation are known. For example, conventional systems and methods are disclosed in US Patents 6,748,275 ("the '275 patent") and 6,314,324 ("the '324 patent") to Lattner et al. There are various disadvantages and limitations associated with these known systems and methods. [0003] For example, conventional systems configured to deliver vestibular stimulation only deliver a single current to each side of the head. The current is passed from an anode on one side of the head to a cathode on the opposite side of the head. The intensity, frequency and / or other properties of the stimulation provided by the current may be adjustable, but these properties of the stimulation may only be adjusted for all stimulation provided to the head. No spatia...
