Abstract

A magnetic stimulation apparatus for triggering action potentials, particularly in more deeply disposed, neuro-muscular tissue of a patient as well, has at least one stimulation coil that has terminals connected to the output of a current-generating unit offers greater degrees of freedom in the selection of the current pulse shapes because the current-generating unit provides current pulses generated in non-resonant fashion for the stimulation coil.
