The DC-STIMULATOR and the DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE are stimulators for cranial electrotherapy that provides a stimulation using weak direct current (transcranial Electrical Stimulation tES) within non-invasive Interventional Neurophysiology. The electrical charge and current density applied are far below the threshold for releasing a stimulus and have a modular effect on existing neuronal elements.
Depending on duration, used current, current density and frequency the stimulation either inhibits or activates cortical activity.
tDCS with the DC-STIMULATOR and the DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE is used the reduction of depressive symptoms.
Along with the tDCS, the DC-STIMULATOR PLUS, DC-STIMULATOR MR and DC-STIMULATOR MC models allow accurate bipolar stimulation with alternating current (tACS) and noise current (tRNS). These three devices are only for research applications. The DC-STIMULATOR MR is the only available (f)MRI-compatible transcranial stimulator. The DC-STIMULATOR MC is globally unique with up to 16 channels that can be programmed via a PC with any desired waveforms independent of each other.
To protect the clients the highest safety standards are guaranteed through multiple monitoring of the current path (monitored in hardware and software), with automatic shut-down in the event of complications (such as poor skin contact).
