Abstract

Transcranial electrostimulation apparatus and method includes a first generator (10) of bipolar pulses of a first predetermined frequency. A source of modulating control signals (16), producing an output at a second frequency less than the first predetermined frequency, is used to cause the output pulses (42,44) from the first generator of pulses to vary in amplitude in a predetermined asymmetrical pattern at the frequency of the modulating control signals, with the asymmetrical pattern of signals applied to output electrodes (76,78) designed to be attached to the scalp of a patient.
