A method and system for altering or modifying a function of neural tissue in a patient. An electromagnetic signal is applied to the neural tissue through an electrode. The electromagnetic signal has a frequency component above the physiological stimulation frequency range and an intensity sufficient to produce an alteration of the neural tissue and a waveform that produces nonlethal temperature elevation of the neural tissue during application of the electromagnetic signal to the neural tissue.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 26, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 26, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 26, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
