Systems and methods for destroying or inhibiting cancer cells and other rapidly-dividing cells include coupling an alternating polarity (AP) magnetic field generator to a target body area and applying an AP magnetic field having a frequency of 0.5-500 kHz and a field strength of 0.5-5 mT to the target body area to achieve a desired inhibiting effect on cancer cells or other rapidly-dividing cells. Treatments provided by the system may be co-administered with an anti-cancer drug such as a chemotherapy drug, a hormone therapy drug, targeted therapy drugs, immunotherapy drugs, or an angiogenesis inhibitor drug.

Machine learning based artifact rejection for transcranial magnetic stimulation electroencephalogram

A method for machine learning based artifact rejection is provided. The method may include applying a machine learning model to identify artefactual independent components in transcranial magnetic stimulation electroencephalogram data collected during a transcranial magnetic stimulation procedure. Clean transcranial magnetic stimulation electroencephalogram data is generated by removing, from the transcranial magnetic stimulation electroencephalogram data, the artefactual independent components. Real-time adjustments to parameters of the transcranial magnetic stimulation procedure may be performed based on the clean transcranial magnetic stimulation electroencephalogram data. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

Systems and methods for delivering therapeutic agents to the brain using TMS
11554267 · 2023-01-17 · ·

The improvement of administration of a therapeutic agent to a targeted region of a patient's brain is herein described. A magnetic material, preferably soluble iron, is administered to the patient. A magnetic field, for example via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), is applied to the targeted region of the patient's brain. The magnetic field is used to agitate magnetic material localized to the targeted region of the brain, temporarily forming openings in the blood-brain barrier (BBB), increasing local perfusion, or both at the targeted region. A therapeutic agent is administered to the patient and is delivered to the targeted region of the patient's brain through openings in the BBB, local perfusion, or both.

Systems and methods for multi-modal and non-invasive stimulation of the nervous system

Systems and methods are provided to combine multiple stimulation modalities to significantly increase the effectiveness of non-invasive stimulation. Multiple sensor and stimulation devices and modalities can be combined into a single, compact unit that minimizes the need for additional sensors or stimulation devices. The system features several subunits, referred to as sensory and stimulation devices (SSD), that are integrated into a headphone setup. The system is controlled by a centralized controller that communicates with all of the SSDs and with an external computer system that delivers learning material synchronized with the delivery of stimulations and the collection of user responses based on physiological signals.
