Abstract

A transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) apparatus including a cap sized to fit over a portion of a patient's head and two or more electrodes associated with an inner service of a cap. Also included is a power supply in electrical communication with the electrodes. The power supply is sized to be worn by or otherwise transported by a patient in use. A portable control interface may be provided. Various types of releasable attachment mechanism may be associated with one or more electrodes. Thus, the placement position of the electrodes with respect to the inner surface of the cap is selectively variable.
