neuroConn tES Caps*

Our innovative knitted caps are designed to facilitate the accurate positioning of electrodes for transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) including tDCS.

The tES Cap simplifies the process of positioning stimulation electrodes on the head, ensuring both precision and safety. Crafted for both therapeutic and research uses, these caps facilitate the application of gentle direct (tDCS) or alternating (tACS) currents to the brain. They are fully compatible with the entire range of neuroConn DC-STIMULATOR devices.

  • Knitted silicone yarn ensures electrodes are positioned tightly across the head
  • The caps are made of high-quality elastic knitted material that fits any head shape
  • Predefined positioning of the electrodes ensures they are always positioned correctly
  • Different sizes are available to provide an optimum fit for all patients
  • Electrodes can be evenly saturated in saline solution through a reservoir solution

The caps are currently available in four preconfigured electrode configurations (see below). This ensures correct placement and fit of the electrodes for the treatment required. This then makes home-use application easier for the patient, and can increase practice efficiency avoiding lengthy measurement process before stimulation.
