Patent number: 9233244Abstract: Portable transdermal electrical stimulation (TES) applicators for modifying a subject's cognitive state. In general, the portable applicators described are specifically 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. These TES applicators may include a pair of electrodes and a TES control module comprising a processor, a timer and a waveform generator. TES control module is adapted to deliver a biphasic electrical stimulation signal of 10 seconds or longer between the first and second electrodes having a frequency of 400 Hz or greater, a duty cycle of greater than 10 percent, an intensity of 3 mA or greater, with a DC offset.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2015Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: thync, inc.Inventors: Sumon K.

Patent number: 9014811Abstract: Methods of modifying a subject's cognitive state by applying transdermal electrical stimulation (TES). In particular, described herein are methods of applying TES using a pair of electrodes each positioned at a particular location on the skin of the subject's head, or the head and neck, to evoke a predetermined cognitive state using a TES applicator. In particular, described herein are methods of enhancing attention, alertness, or mental focus or of enhancing a calm or relaxed mental state by applying high-intensity TES across electrodes positioned on the subject's temple and either the mastoid region or on the subject's neck. The subject may control the application directly and TES may be applied by a portable, including wearable, TES applicator.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: thync, inc.Inventors: Sumon K. Pal, Jonathan Charlesworth, Remi Demers, Daniel Z. Wetmore, Isy Goldwasser, William J. Tyler, Raymond L. Gradwohl, Philip Lamb, Christopher Voss

Patent number: 8903494Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for transdermal electrical stimulation. Devices described herein can include self-contained, lightweight, and wearable components. The devices include a primary unit including a first transdermal electrode and a secondary unit including a second transdermal electrode. The device can be capable of wireless communication. The primary unit and secondary unit are placed at two locations on the skin of a user, for example on the head or neck of a user. The first and second transdermal electrodes are electrically connected. Electrical stimulation is driven between the two electrodes. The electrical stimulation induces a cognitive effect in a user of the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2013Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: thync, inc.Inventors: Isy Goldwasser, William J. Tyler, Alexander Opitz, Tomokazu Sato, Jonathan Charlesworth, Sumon K. Pal, Philip Lamb, Christopher Voss, Steven Cook, Remi Demers, Raymond L. Gradwohl, Daniel Z. Wetmore
