Abstract

A method for treating anxiety disorders may include applying a first pair of electrodes on the left side of a subject's head and a second pair of electrodes on the right side of the subject's head; applying a first stimulus carrier of a first magnitude to the first pair of electrodes and a second stimulus carrier of a second magnitude to the second pair of electrodes, wherein the first and second stimulus carriers combine to produce a stimulus having a frequency between 1 Hz and 1 kHz; and steering the stimulus toward the subject's left amygdala.
