Magnetic Stimulation in the Treatment of Partial Seizures

Non Linear Analysis of Magnetoencephalographic Signals as a Tool for Assessing Malignant Lesions of the Brain: First Results

“…The method used for the recording of magnetic activity has been described in detail elsewhere (Anninos et al 1987, Anninos et al 1991, Elger et al 1989. In brief, we used a 122-channel SQUID gradiometer device (Neuromag-122, Neuromag Ltd. Helsinki Finland).…”

An analytical design technique for magnetic field therapy devices

“…In the last 25 years, we have seen the introduction of the SQUID into clinical practice, thus permitting the detection and display of actual biological magnetic fields (Anninos et al 1986(Anninos et al , 1989(Anninos et al , 1991(Anninos et al , 2003.…”

Aging and magnetism: Presenting a possible new holistic paradigm for ameliorating the aging process and the effects thereof, through externally applied physiologic PicoTesla magnetic fields

“…The existence of the brain's magnetic field and the difference between the magnetic field profile of the normal brain versus the pathologic brain, has been known from the classical work of David Cohen [51] and several recent works of others using the superconducting quantum interference detectors (SQUID); on patients with epilepsy and other neurologic disorders [52][53][54][55][56][57]. These investigators measured the intensity profile of the human brain magnetic field and found that it is on the order of 0.5 PT (PicoTesla) or 5 Â 10 À9 gauss for alpha brain waves.…”

“…enhance parasympathetic stimulation to cardiac inputs and regulate atrio-ventricular conduction mechanisms of the heart [61] (affecting rate and rhythmicity), modulate endogenous opioid activity (e.g. enkephalin, endorphin) [14,62] and affect benefits in neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease [63], multiple sclerosis [14,64], and epilepsy [53,54], speed wound healing [65], and regulate thoracic spinal neuronal potentials after administration of noxious chemicals to the heart (which stimulated nociceptive afferent fibers [14], just to cite a few of the many studies conducted at major universities, Indeed, research over the past 30 years has revealed more and more that extrinsically sourced, low-level, extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (many orders of magnitude weaker than the membrane potential gradient in the pericellular fluid) do modulate actions of hormones, antibodies and neurotransmitter molecules at cell surface receptor sites. The observed sensitivities are as low as 10 À7 volts per centimeter in the extremely low frequency spectrum [37,39,40].…”
