A magnetic stimulator (11), which may be used as a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device, and a method for its use are disclosed. The stimulator comprises a frame and an electrically conductive coil having a partially toroidal or ovate base (12) and an outwardly projecting extension portion (14). The frame may be a flexible or malleable material and may be non- conductive. The electrically conductive coil may comprise one or more windings of electrically conductive material (such as a wire) coupled to the frame. The coil is electrically connected to a power supply. The device (11) may be place adjacent to or in contact with the body of a subject, such as on the head (100) of a subject. The device may be used on humans for treating certain physiological conditions, such as cardiovascular or neurophysiological conditions, or for studying the physiology of the body. This device is useful in studying or treating neurophysiological conditions associated with the deep regions of the brain, such as drug addiction and depression.

L'invention concerne un stimulateur magnétique pouvant être utilisé en tant que dispositif de stimulation magnétique transcrânienne, et son procédé d'utilisation. Ledit stimulateur comprend une monture et une bobine électro-conductrice possédant une base partiellement toroïdale ou ovoïde et une partie d'extension saillant vers l'extérieur. La monture peut être en matériau souple ou malléable et peut être non conductrice. La bobine électroconductrice peut comporter au moins un enroulement en matériau électroconducteur (tel qu'un fil) couplé à la monture. Ladite bobine est connectée au plan électrique à une alimentation. Le dispositif peut être placé en position adjacente au corps d'un sujet, tel que la tête, ou en contact avec celui-ci. Ledit dispositif peut être utilisé sur des humains pour le traitement de certains états physiologiques, tels que les affections cardiovasculaires ou neurophysiologiques, ou pour l'étude de la physiologie du corps. Il est utile dans l'étude ou le traitement d'états neurophysiologiques associés aux régions profondes du cerveau, tels que la toxicomanie et la dépression.
