Publication number: 20230125579Abstract: Transdermal electrical stimulation (TES) applicators that are wearable and configured to attached to a subject's pinna (ear) and adapted to apply TES to modulate the subject's cognitive and/or physiological state. These apparatuses may be configured so that they can be worn against the ear (e.g., the cymba of the ear) to deliver TES. Also described herein are methods of using them to modulate a subject's cognitive state. These TES applicators may also be adapted to function as audio headphones for concurrent delivery of TES and audible signals (e.g., music).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: William J. TYLER, Wing LAW, Douglas JEFFERY, Rafal PIERSIAK

Publication number: 20220152389Abstract: Portable transdermal electrical stimulation (TES) applicators for modifying a subject's cognitive state by applying stimulation to the subject's skin. One or more electrode may be on the subject's mastoid, and/or on or near the back of the subject's neck. The portable applicators are configured and adapted to be lightweight and may be wearable, and to deliver a high-intensity TES able to evoke or enhance a predetermined cognitive effect to stimulate either the trigeminal, facial and/or cervical plexus. These TES applicators may include a pair of electrodes and a TES control module comprising a processor, a timer and a waveform generator.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Jonathan D. CHARLESWORTH, Sumon K. PAL, William J. TYLER, Daniel Z. WETMORE, Isy GOLDWASSER, Alyssa M. BOASSO, Hailey M. MORTIMORE, Rafal PIERSIAK

Patent number: 11033731Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for transdermal electrical stimulation. Described herein are single-use or limited-use TES apparatuses and methods of using them that include an integrated (e.g., flex-circuit) electrode assembly and controller apparatus including a waveform generator and power supply. Also described herein are TES apparatuses including a cord or wire having current control circuitry and configured to connect a mobile computing device (e.g., smartphone or wearable electronics) to an electrode assembly. Finally, also described herein are intermediate apparatuses including a flex-circuit electrode assembly including a waveform generator but receiving power from a cable connected to a mobile computing device.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Thync Global, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Jeffery, Wing Law, Jay Frederick Hamlin, Remi Demers, Rafal Piersiak

Patent number: 10814131Abstract: Apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems), and methods for transdermal electrical stimulation (TES). Apparatuses described herein can be self-contained, lightweight, and wearable. The apparatuses and methods described herein be configured to apply an ensemble current waveform between the two or more electrodes, wherein the ensemble current waveform comprises a series of component waveforms that are sequentially applied, and wherein each component waveform is different from a component waveform immediately before it and wherein transitions between the component waveforms temporally correlates with transitions in the sensory experience. Also described are neurostimulators for application of transdermal electrical stimulation (TES) and methods of using them for comfortably inducing a cognitive effect. Also described are Methods and apparatuses for amplitude modulation of all or a portion of an ensemble waveform to modify a user's cognitive state by transdermal electrical stimulation (TES).Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Thync Global, Inc.Inventors: Isy Goldwasser, William J. Tyler, Jonathan Charlesworth, Sumon K. Pal, Daniel Z. Wetmore, Douglas Jeffery, Wing Law, Jason Egnal, Anil Thakur, Remi Demers, Jay Frederick Hamlin, Rafal Piersiak
