Embodiment Construction

[0139] will now refer to figure 1 Examples of devices for providing sensory stimulation to a subject are described.

[0140] In this example, the device comprises an input 101 for obtaining an input signal indicative of a stimulus input. The nature of the input will depend on the preferred implementation, and a variety of different inputs may be used. In one example, the input is in the form of a sensor operable to sense a stimulus input, for example using a microphone or an imaging device to capture an auditory or visual stimulus input. Alternatively, the input may be a transceiver that receives an input signal from a remote device, such as a mobile phone or the like, as will be described in more detail below.

[0141] The device includes a signal generator 107 coupled to a coil system comprising one or more coils 111 . The nature of the signal generator will vary depending on the preferred embodiment, but in one example the signal generator is a current source adapted to ...

Abstract

Apparatus for providing sensory stimulation to a subject, the apparatus including an input that acquires input signals indicative of a stimulatory input, a signal generator, a coil system including atleast one coil and an electronic controller operating in accordance with software instructions. In use, the controller receives the input signals from the input, performs analysis of the input signals and, uses results of the analysis to cause the signal generator to generate stimulation signals, the stimulation signals being applied to the coil system to thereby generate a stimulatory electromagnetic field in a target region of the subject, the stimulatory electromagnetic field being configured to selectively activate sensory neurons to thereby stimulate the subject in accordance with the stimulatory input.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing sensory stimuli, such as auditory or visual stimuli, to a subject, and in one particular example, to methods and apparatus for providing sensory stimuli by generating stimulating electromagnetic fields to selectively activate sensory neurons. device. Background technique [0002] Reference in this specification to any prior publication (or information derived therefrom) or to any known matter is not and should not be considered as an acknowledgment or endorsement or in any way to imply that such prior publication (or information derived therefrom) derived information) or known matters form part of the common general knowledge in the field to which this specification relates. [0003] Neuromodulation has diverse applications in modern medicine. Some well-known applications include prosthetics, devices that improve impaired sensory, motor, or cognitive neurological function, devices ...
