Abstract

A brain wave stimulator comprises a frequency-control device and pulse-shaping and pulse-processing units which emit acoustic, optical, electrical and/or electromagnetic or mechanical pulse signals. To ensure precise, reproducible control, the stimulator comprises a quartz-stabilized oscillating circuit (1) and a frequency-divider module (2) connected downstream of the oscillating circuit (1) for setting a frequency. The frequency-divider module (2) is connected by a switch (S1) to a programmable, digital frequency divider (3) downstream of which are connected two other frequency dividers (4, 5) connected in series, each having two outputs. These outputs are connected by coupled switches (S2, S3) of different frequencies to pulse-shaping units (7, 8, 9, 10) for various applicators (20, 21, 22, 23).
