Claim:
1. A deep brain magnetic stimulator comprising: a device core capable of being placed in a luminal periphery of a blood vessel where the device core is generally tubular in shape and comprises a lumen to allow the unassisted passage of blood and a lumen wall having expandable elements; a stimulation coil affixed to the device core comprising a conductive element, wherein the stimulation coil is disposed around the entire outer circumference of the device core; the stimulation coil configured to generate a non-revolving magnetic field; an energy storage device electrically coupled to the stimulation coil to deliver voltage and current to the stimulation coil without resonance of the stimulation coil with the energy storage device; and control circuitry comprising a power handling module to control the delivery of voltage and current to the stimulation coil, and a control module to control activation of the stimulation coil.
