Abstract
The invention is a method for nerve cell stimulation wherein optimal frequency of a coupled magnetic circuit, optimal reluctance of a coupled magnetic circuit, optimal capacitance of a coupled magnetic circuit, and optimal winding resistance of a coupled magnetic circuit for construction of a magnetic nerve stimulator are selected to maximize stimulation of a nerve cell. The maximization of the nerve stimulation is achieved by maximizing the membrane voltage.
