Device for the use of vestibular galvanic stimulation for pilot training and the correction of the position and sight fixation in microgravity
A method is proposed to induce the sensation of movement in subjects in flight simulators and in cosmonauts, creating a cognitive simulation of movement through the Vestibular Electrical Stimulation. The system consists of a control unit, a function generator and a power amplifier. The device injects electric current over the mastoid process (galvanic vestibular stimulation), capable of activating the neurons of the vestibular system and inducing a movement sensation, in coordination with a flight simulation program or subject's movement in the simulator. The use of the device modifies eye movement control responses, electrically activating the vestibular-ocular, vestibulo-colic and vestibule-spinal reflexes. The main purpose of this device is to provide sensory input to enhance the experience in pilots during flight training or in microgravity.
Non-invasive nerve stimulation
One example provides a nerve stimulation treatment using electrodes coupled to a user. Examples determine a target charge level and output a series of pulses from the electrodes. For each pulse outputted, examples measure a charge value of the pulse and compare the charge value to the target charge level. If the charge value is greater than the target charge level, examples reduce a strength level of a subsequent outputted pulse. If the charge value is less than the target charge level, examples increase the strength level of a subsequent outputted pulse.
Current monitoring apparatus and electrical stimulation apparatus comprising same
An electrical stimulation apparatus is provided. The electrical stimulation apparatus includes an electrode module receiving current for applying electrical stimulation to a skin of a user from a current providing part, a plurality of monitoring electrodes positioned spaced apart from each other on the electrode module, the current flows from the electrode module to the plurality of monitoring electrodes, and a current monitoring part monitoring the current flowing to each of the plurality of monitoring electrodes.
NANOSECOND PULSED ELECTRIC FIELD SYSTEM
Described herein are apparatuses (e.g., systems and devices) and methods of delivering nanosecond pulsed electrical fields (nsPEF). In particular, these apparatuses and methods may provide enhanced safety and robust operation over even very short (e.g., nanosecond and sub-nanosecond pulses) and high voltage pulsing; these benefits may be accomplished by multi-functional isolation of various subsystems and components of the apparatus, even including the low-voltage, control and command portions of the apparatus with extremely low capacitance, high voltage isolation.
ALTERNATING CURRENT DYNAMIC FREQUENCY STIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND INSOMNIA (ADI)
Electrostimulation systems and methods are contemplated in which a high current level, charge balanced alternating current electrical signal is generated for delivery to the frontal cortex region of a patient's brain. By stimulating this region of the brain with a charged balanced stimulation current with a stimulation current envelope defining one or more series of pulses at particular frequencies and durations designed to evoke metabolic response in the neurons, significant improvements in efficacy and reductions in patient discomfort may be achieved relative to earlier methods of transcranial electrical stimulation, especially those in which result in a resultant rectified direct current component being administered to the patient. Further advantages, especially in promoting neural entrainment, may be realized as well via utilizing multiple series of pulses at different frequencies, and via the dynamic adjustment of the stimulation waveform via incorporation of feedback signals in order to maintain charge balance in real-time.
