Apparatus for providing sensory stimulation to a subject, the apparatus including an input that acquires input signals indicative of a stimulatory input, a signal generator, a coil system including at least one coil and an electronic controller operating in accordance with software instructions. In use, the controller receives the input signals from the input, performs analysis of the input signals and, uses results of the analysis to cause the signal generator to generate stimulation signals, the stimulation signals being applied to the coil system to thereby generate a stimulatory electromagnetic field in a target region of the subject, the stimulatory electromagnetic field being configured to selectively activate sensory neurons to thereby stimulate the subject in accordance with the stimulatory input. |
