Design and Fabrication of Novel Digital Transcranial Electrical Stimulator for Medical and Psychiatry Applications

Abstract: In this article, we design a novel Transcranial Electrical Stimulator for medical applications, which is very cheap and can produce the desired signals very accurately. Our fabricated stimulator generates all current signals related to Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (TES) methods, i.e. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), Transcranial Pulsed Current Stimulation (tPCS), Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES), and Microcurrent Electrical Therapy (MET). The proposed device has been constructed of an advanced digital controller which makes it tunable. One of the major advantages of the device is its ability to generate Burst pulses.
