Zusammenfassung:The present application provides a method and an apparatus of modulating a neuronal firing frequency at a brain functional site in a brain, the method comprising: generating an electromagnetic field with its power in variation at the preset modulating frequency; and arranging the generated electromagnetic field near the brain such that the brain functional site is within the range of the near field of the electromagnetic field, to polarize extracellular fluid at the brain functional site with the power of the electromagnetic field, such that a polarization density of the extracellular fluid varies at the preset modulating frequency and neurons in the extracellular fluid are modulated to fire at the preset modulating frequency.
