    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) research is advancing therapeutic applications and understanding underlying mechanisms.
    • Current tDCS systems are bulky, hindering subject mobility and daily activity, thus limiting research progress.
    • Need for smaller, lighter, portable, and user-friendly tDCS devices to facilitate research and clinical translation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design a low-cost, lightweight, programmable, and portable tDCS device.
    • To enable subjects to perform daily activities while undergoing tDCS treatment.
    • To validate the device's efficacy in inducing neuromodulatory effects.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a head-mountable, concealable tDCS device with a simple user interface for current selection.
    • Performance evaluation using bench testing and in vivo studies.
    • Assessment of neuromodulatory effects in the primary motor cortex (M1) via motor evoked potentials (MEPs) measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

    Main Results:

    • The designed portable tDCS device was successfully constructed and tested.
    • Bench and in vivo tests confirmed the device's operational capability.
    • The portable tDCS device induced comparable neuromodulatory effects in M1 as conventional, larger tDCS systems.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed portable tDCS device is a viable alternative to bulky systems for research and potential therapeutic use.
    • The device's design facilitates subject mobility and daily activity during stimulation.
    • Further research into the principles, mechanisms, and benefits of tDCS is supported by this portable technology.
