1.   Its magnetic pulses temporarily disable parts of the brain that Fox has found to be involved in stuttering.

2.   Operators can control the shape of the magnetic pulse with a degree of precision that is the highest ever achieved.

3.   Repeated magnetic pulses appear useful in treating phantom limb pain, Pascual-Leone said, as shown in experiments with people who lost one arm.

4.   Regular doses of magnetic pulses stimulate the brain and may cure depression, so could the treatment be used to change mood in healthy people?

5.   Similarly, if a magnetic pulse is applied to another part of the head, people can no longer remember a short list of items recently committed to memory.

6.   They will start by temporarily paralyzing parts of his brain with localized magnetic pulses.

7.   TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, is a newer technology that uses magnetic pulses to temporarily disable parts of the brain.
