A method (of treating a patient who has tinnitus) includes: providing to the patient a series of tones including at least a single tone which is at least a half-octave outside a tinnitus frequency of the patient; and applying vagus nerve stimulation to the patient to induce a period of plasticity in a cortex of the patient that is transitory and that represents a transitory opportunity for learning to occur; and wherein the at least a single tone occurs during the transitory opportunity for learning.

The present disclosure relates to methods, devices and systems used for the treatment of medical disorders via stimulation of the superficial elements of the trigeminal nerve. More specifically, cutaneous methods of stimulation of the superficial branches of the trigeminal nerve located extracranially in the face, namely the supraorbital, supratrochlear, infraorbital, auriculotemporal, zygomaticotemporal, zygomaticoorbital, zygomaticofacial, infraorbital, nasal and mentalis nerves (also referred to collectively as the superficial trigeminal nerve) are disclosed herein.

A method and system for behavioral neural learning in a user, including applying a first patch on a dermis of the user adjacent to a first nerve, the first patch comprising first electrodes, applying a second patch on the dermis of the user adjacent to a second nerve, the second patch comprising second electrodes, and generating a treatment protocol during a time period comprising applying a first electrical stimuli to the first nerve via the first electrodes of the first patch and applying a second electrical stimuli to the second nerve via the second electrodes of the second patch.

Disclosed is a method of enhancing exposure therapy including providing an exposure therapy to a patient and stimulating the patient's vagus nerve at the same time as the exposure therapy. Also disclosed is a post-traumatic stress disorder therapy method including providing an exposure event to a patient and stimulating the patient's vagus nerve during the exposure event. Also disclosed is a phobia disorder therapy method including providing an extinction event to a patient and stimulating the patient's vagus nerve during the exposure event. Also disclosed is an obsessive compulsive disorder therapy method including providing a therapy event to a patient and stimulating the patient's vagus nerve during the therapy event. Also disclosed is an addiction disorder therapy method including providing a therapy event to a patient and stimulating the patient's vagus nerve during the therapy event.

A neural stimulator, suitable for implanting in a recipient, and configured to combine vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) with cochlear stimulation, to result in faster adaptation to new sounds and maps, and alleviation of tinnitus in the recipient.

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system that can modulate the intensity of a neural stimulation signal over time. A pulse generator can be configured to generate a stimulation signal for application to neural tissue of an individual and modulate a parameter related to intensity of a pattern of pulses of the stimulation signal over time. An electrode can be coupled to the pulse generator and configured to apply the stimulation signal to the neural tissue. A population of axons in the neural tissue can be recruited with each pulse of the stimulation signal.

A quantum cardiac electrophysiology device comprising an array of consumable half-ferromagnetic active electrodes connected to an array of semiconductor of half-ferromagnetic selector switches over an array of half-ferromagnetic resistors to a neutral charges out of the heart, by casting and/or inking the arrhythmic substrate of an arrhythmia by the electrophysiology quantum entan- glement of said arrhythmic substrate.

A quantum spin liquid (QSL) electrophysiology device comprising a spontaneous and an induced quantum arrhythmia vacuum states, switchable between them through at least one entangled measurement of one negative differential resistance.

A vestibular stimulation array is disclosed having one or more separate electrode arrays each operatively adapted for implantation in a semicircular canal of the vestibular system, wherein each separate electrode array is dimensioned and constructed so that residual vestibular function is preserved. In particular, the electrode arrays are dimensioned such that the membranous labyrinth is not substantially compressed. Furthermore, the electrode array has a stop portion to limit insertion of the electrode array into the semi-circular canal and is still enough to avoid damage to the anatomical structures.

A method of generating sounds for reducing an effect of tinnitus is disclosed. The method includes the following steps: acquiring a sound frequency of a tinnitus sound of a user, and playing a plurality of pure tones within a frequency range during a playback time, wherein the plurality of pure tones include a plurality of first pure tones and a plurality of second pure tones; the plurality of first pure tones and the sound frequency are located at a first frequency area, and the plurality of second pure tones are located at a second frequency area; the first frequency area covers X Hz, where 100≤X≤12000, the second frequency area covers the remaining portion of the frequency range excluding the first frequency area, and the plurality of first pure tones accounts for M % of the plurality of pure tones, where 50<M≤90.
