Zusammenfassung:	A stimulation device includes a first transmitting coil and a drive circuit electrically coupled to the first transmitting coil and configured to drive the first transmitting coil. The first transmitting coil is configured, when the device is in proximity to a person's ear and the first transmitting coil is driven with a time-varying electric current providable by the drive circuit, to generate at least part of a magnetic field providing a time-varying magnetic flux across an auricular branch of a Vagus Nerve (ABVN) sufficient to activate the ABVN.
