Israeli company Brainsway says its patented helmet provides a non-invasive, but highly effective treatment alternative for depression and other neurological disorders. The device sends targeted electromagnetic pulses into the brain, to stimulate previously unreachable neurons in affected areas. This method, called transcranial magnetic stimulation is a better and safer version of conventional electro-shock therapy, according to Chief Technology Officer Ronen Segal.
