What are the dangers in inducing electrical fields in the brain? A Feb 91 article in IEEE Biomedical ENg Trans. describe serious studies into this application for brain motor area stimulation. The study was theoretical, but do not such fields permenently affect the areas stimulated? Have any testing been done on people with this method?

You might see the work of Cohen, Leonardo G. out of NIH. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- john f andrews SYSOP The Biomedical Engineering BBS 24 hrs 300/1200/2400/4800 (201) 596-5679 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERNET jfa0522@hertz.njit.edu CIS 73710,2600 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
