Claim:
1. A method for treating Parkinson's disease, treating coma, treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), treating amblyopia, and/or enhancing cognitive performance in a subject, comprising: providing to a user a magnetic field generator that generates a magnetic field, wherein the magnetic field generator comprises a control that allows the user to adjust the magnetic field, and wherein the magnetic field comprises one or more frequencies within an EEG band of the subject; prompting the user to apply the magnetic field to a head of the subject; and providing to the user computer readable media including a command executable by the magnetic field generator; generating instructions by the computer readable media that prompts the user to adjust the magnetic field as follows: if an intrinsic frequency of the subject within the EEG band is lower than a target frequency within the EEG band, use the control to generate a first frequency in the EEG band that is higher than the intrinsic frequency in the EEG band of the subject; if the intrinsic frequency of the subject within the EEG band is higher than the target frequency within the specified EEG band, use the control to generate a second frequency in the EEG band that is lower than the intrinsic frequency in the EEG band of the subject; if the intrinsic frequency of the subject within the EEG band is equal to the target frequency within the EEG band, use the control to generate no magnetic field; if a Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency is lower than a target Q-factor, use the control to generate the intrinsic frequency in the EEG band of the subject; if the Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency is higher than the target Q-factor, use the control to generate a third frequency in the EEG band, wherein the third frequency is different from the intrinsic frequency within the EEG band of the subject; if the Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency is higher than the target Q-factor, use the control to generate a plurality of frequencies, wherein each of the plurality of frequencies is different from the intrinsic frequency within the EEG band of the subject and each is within a pre-determined range; if the Q-factor of the intrinsic frequency within the EEG band equals the target Q-factor, use the control to generate no magnetic field; or a combination thereof.
