The Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation kit (TDCS-kit) is a specific model of an electronic device used to help patients with brain injuries or psychiatric conditions like major depressive disorder. [1] The functionality of the device is based on the method known as Transcranial direct current stimulation, which the brain and particular neurons are stimulated by, with a constant current via electrodes mounted on the scalp. [2]
The kit is delivered as do it yourself (DYI) solution and must be assembled by the customer. The reseller also disclaims all of responsibility and consequences caused by using the device.[3]
