I typed up an entire response and then it got deleted when I went back!! Argg.
Anyhow, I use a combination of an electromagnetic device and stationary magnets.
As far as the latter, I kid you not. I'm not sure if I have mentioned it in the past. However, if you have a powerful stationary magnet (I use two from an old hi-fi system, a 8 inch subwoofer magnet and a 5 inch midrange speaker magnet) you can pass them over your head at a chosen frequency and location. It would be difficult to generate 10hz by hand, but you can easily create 1hz over the right prefrontal cortex. If you have a metronome (or ticking clock) you simply keep time with it. I notice the most benefit from the right side.
If you get a powerful stationary magnet within a meter of an old tube television, you can easily see how it interacts (I'm sure you have seen the color distortion). The farther way you can view this interaction, the stronger the magnet.
The only difference between an electromagnet and a stationary magnet is movement. Electricity produces a field around an electromagnet. Conversely, movement of a stationary magnet's field around a wire produces electricity.
If you want the most noticeable effect, use a large, powerful stationary magnet (the bigger the better) and pass it directly over the top of your head about 30 times. I notice that this has a 'resetting' and anti-anhedonic effect.
I no of no research to corroborate my own findings, however, all I can say is try it and let me know if you notice anything. I have been doing this for years. The benefits can last days to weeks. One can likely obtain such magnets for free.
Let me know if you want any more info.
