Features 

  • Microprocessor-controlled constant current source 
  • 1 channel (anodal and cathodal stimulation possible)
  • High safety standard through multistage monitoring of the current path
  • Stimulation mode: tDCS (continuous stimulation, adjustable, fade in and fade out)
  • Study mode for „blind“ operation of real and pseudo stimulation, encoded from a code list of 200 codes, independently adjustable settings (can be saved to avoid accidental modification of study parameters)*
  • External trigger input*

*Optional 

Use and Benefits 

  • Highest patient safety standards due to multistage monitoring of the current path, automatic termination of the stimulation as well as continuous monitoring of the electrode impedance
  • Intuitive menu navigation via display and four buttons
  • Individual setting and saving of the stimulation parameters
  • Optional: study mode for double-blind active and sham stimulation
