Abstract:
1. A Cranial Electric Stimulator (CES), having a computer (PC) running a computer program for operating a diagnosis mode, a treatment mode, a research mode and a test mode and comprising an array of designated electrodes adapted to be attached in distribution onto a skull of a patient, the CES comprising: a workstation operated by a practitioner and coupled to a signal and routing box (SRB), to which the array of electrodes is coupled, the workstation being programmed to command the SRB to in the diagnosis mode: generation of predetermined alternating current diagnosis input signals injection via a first pair of electrodes, sampling and measurement of induced voltage signals collected across the first pair of electrodes, and injection and measurement being repeated sequentially for all combinations of pairs of electrodes out of the array of electrodes, wherein each one of the pairs of electrodes defines a path in the brain of the patient, for detection of a signal passage condition along a defined path, and in the treatment mode: generation of predetermined alternating current treatment input signals injected for relief of a condition detected in the diagnosis mode.
