I also think you can pull of HD tDCS with a single channel device by simply having one wire connected to all four of the outer electrodes (my guess is the pros use multi-channel devices for an added measure of safety/control). If that doesn't work...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsDecember 2012

Here's a must-see video of an expert from Soterix Medical giving a tDCS lecture (at Harvard I think). It talks about HD-tDCS electrode placement and its advantages over the standard montages.https://clinicalresearchlearning.adobeconnect.com/_a1029...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsNovember 2012

Anthonylee--I'm also quite interested in using tDCS to enhance the effects of brainwave entrainment. In my earlier posts I talked about oscillating tDCS for this purpose. It looks promising, I recommend you look into it. You may also be ...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsNovember 2012

I hear ya. I was interested in Openstim for a while, but the fact that the Arduino is connected to a computer during stimulation turned me off. If you're going through all that trouble, you might as well program a sketch that operates independentl...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsNovember 2012

Thanks for clarifying that. The reason I'm interested in Arduino is not only is it pre-packaged for someone who's never mounted a chip to a board (like me), but the Mega boards are the perfect platform for my future projects combining EEG and tDCS...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsNovember 2012

Why do you say Arduinos don't have an op-amp? Is it because the on board LM358 (on the UNO board) doesn't have dedicated in/out pins?in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsNovember 2012

rdb, just out of curiosity, could your circuit be constructed on an arduino board? Arduinos already have a microcontroller, voltage regulator, LM358, etc. I'm aware of the OpenStim design, but I'm curious if it can be done without the digital pote...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsOctober 2012

Thanks Sherazon, interesting studies. And yes, I've also found that you can talk yourself into circles based on the findings of these sometimes conflicting studies.For anyone who's interested, here's what I've learned lately: For those too sq...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsOctober 2012

Yes, I'm targeting the brainwave frequencies, 1 thru 40 hertz-ish.When I'm back at my university next week I can access any studies I want without paying for them, so I'll see what I can find concerning tACS. It's been a long summer... I have over...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsAugust 2012

Does anyone have information on oscillating-tDCS or tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation)? Both pass a frequency of your choice through the brain, but the difference between them is that tACS signals reverse polarity while o-tDCS sig...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsAugust 2012

Good thing it didn't cost too much, then ; )in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsAugust 2012

Take your time rdb, you're a gentleman and a scholar. In the meantime I'm doing my cognitive enhancement experiments with my newly acquired Shiva neural stimulation device (woohoo!).As far as electrode materials go, I managed to find some conducti...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsAugust 2012

rbd, I am very interested in you proposal, and I would be willing to buy several units even if they were 2 or 3 times that cost. You have a very well thought out design and I would love to get involved. Perhaps you could even make a business out o...in Prosthetics, wearables, and hapticsJuly 2012
