Claim Text:
1. A method of attaching an electrical stimulator to a user's head using an electrode apparatus formed of a flat substrate extending in a plane having a first electrode portion and a second electrode portion, a first active region on a back of the substrate in the first electrode portion, and a second active region on the back of the substrate in the second electrode portion, wherein the first and second electrode portions are connected by a connecting region of the substrate that extends in a path that is 2 inches or longer, the method comprising: adhesively securing the first active region of the electrode apparatus to the user's head in a first location; bending the connecting region out of the plane; adhesively securing the second active region of the electrode apparatus to the user's head in a second location; and coupling a wearable electrical stimulator to a first and second connector extending proud from the first electrode portion at a region that is off-center on a bottom of the wearable electrical stimulator so that the wearable electrical stimulator is worn on the user in the first location, allowing one end region of the electrical stimulator to be held securely while an opposite end region may move, wherein the wearable electrical stimulator is coupled either before or after adhesively securing the first active region of the electrode apparatus to the user's head.
