Claim 0:
1. A method of providing neuromodulation treatment to a patient to improve unwanted symptoms by adjusting a neuromodulation protocol provided using transcranial magnetic stimulation applied to the head of the patient based at least partially on brain activity of the patient assessed prior to providing the transcranial magnetic stimulation comprising:
a. performing an assessment procedure that occurs prior to providing transcranial magnetic stimulation which evaluates electroencephalogram (EEG) data to provide a peak frequency measure of endogenous brain activity of the patient within a single selected EEG band of an EEG signal of the patient;
b. establishing a stimulation subsystem having at least one magnetic stimulator for generating a magnetic stimulation signal according to at least one of a set of stimulation protocol parameters;
c. establishing a control subsystem connected to the stimulation subsystem and a processor;
d. operating the control subsystem under control of the processor;
e. configuring the control subsystem by setting at least a stimulation rate protocol parameter value for use by said stimulation subsystem, said stimulation rate protocol parameter value being set to be within 2 Hz of the frequency of the peak frequency measure; and,
f. applying the magnetic stimulation signal to the patient for providing neuromodulation treatment to the brain of the patient wherein the neuromodulation treatment is devoid of the patient performing a cognitive task.
