Electromagnetic Brain Animation - Patent 7771341

Abstract

This invention pertains to apparatus methodology formulated to perform electromagnetic brain animation (EBA) for the purpose of partial or complete alleviation of specific mental impairments relating categorically to infant, early childhood, and adolescent target populations. EBA expressly refers to an original system and mechanized manner for determining and redirecting particular areas of the brain found to suffer from endemic and/or environmental injury. Electromagnetic brain animation is an enhanced initiative for positive influence on brain region neuron activity with the impetus to habilitate, rehabilitate and/or redirect dysfunctional cellular structure in direct correlation with greater pliability of evolving nervous systems in conjunction with superior biological plasticity due to specified group cluster. The EBA technical inclination, evolution and fruition of "animation" are specifically related to safety and success with early developing brains. Special areas targeted, but not limited to, include depression, dysthymia, attention deficit disorder, learning disability, memory loss, overanxious disorder, mild retardation, and autism.
