Main items in tES section are as follows:
- StarStim tCS system
- StarStim tCS system MR
- neuroConn DC-STIMULATOR PLUS
- neuroConn DC-STIMULATOR MR
Star Stim:
StarStim is a tCS and EEG monitoring device (up to 8-channel). It has the comfortable head cap with 39 positions based on the 10-10 system where the electrodes can be easily inserted.Electrodes are consist wet and dry EEG electrodes, sponstim’s (the stimulation electrodes), Pistim (The hybrid tCS and EEG electrode) and MRI compatible electrodes.
DC-STIMULATOR PLUS for tDCS and tACS:
The DC-STIMULATOR PLUS is a stimulator for tES. This device has:
- 1 channel stimulation
- tDCS - transcranial direct current stimulation
- bipolar stimulation with tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) and tRNS (transcranial random noise stimulation)
- adjustable range of current ±4,500 µA, maximum adjustable current strength ±1,500 µA (peak-to-peak)
- adjustable application time up to 30 minutes
- frequencies adjustable up to 250 Hz, phase freely adjustable
- 4 standard modes - tDCS (continuous stimulation) - pulse (cyclical stimulation activation/deactivation) - sinus (sinus wave) - noise (normally distributed)
StarStim tCS system MR applications:
- Investigating the instantaneous effect of electrical stimulation on brain functions using fMRI and MRS data
- Improving and personalizing electrical stimulation treatment protocols
- Creating a closed-loop system based on brain function to optimize electrical stimulation parameters (using deep learning methods)
DC-STIMULATOR MR:
The DC-STIMULATOR MR is an fMRI-compatible stimulator for apply tES during functional magnetic resonance imaging to localize the exact position of cortical activation.
