5 Brain-to-Brain Communication terms
- Electrical stimulation
- Electrical stimulation (e-stim) is the use of a device to send gentle electrical pulses through the skin.
Two common devices are:
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to help repair muscles
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to help with pain
- Example: The electrical stimulation from the brain’s cortex region is then recorded and transmitted wirelessly through the cloud.

- Exciter circuit
- Exciter or DC generator relay is a device which forces the DC machine-held excitation to build up during starting or which functions when the machine voltage has built up to a given value.
- Example: The exciter circuit (TMS) will generate the signal corresponding to the command passed.
- en: A Slayer Exciter is an air-cored transformer that steps up a very low DC voltage to a very high AC voltage. This creates an electromagnetic field around the coil that is capable of lighting up fluorescent and neon light bulbs. It is fairly similar to a Tesla Coil.
In this paper, TMS is used as an exciter circuit.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an established technique for noninvasive brain stimulation and widely used in basic and clinical neurophysiology. Yet, brain stimulation using traditional rTMS systems is limited to superficial, i.e. mainly corti-cal brain sites laying at the outer cerebral or cerebellar convexity and deeper structures are only modulated by transsynaptic effects primarily stimulated regions exert.
- Exoskeletons
- Electroencephalography can be defined as the measurement of the electric brain activity caused by of the currents induced
by neurons within the brain.
- Example: The significant advantage of this technology is that it is noninvasive and does not have the complications of using bulky devices like exoskeletons and comes with less cost.

by neurons within the brain.
- Magnetic stimulation
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typically used when other depression treatments haven't been effective.
- Example: This electrical signal produces equivalent magnetic stimulation in the form of TMS and the receiver interprets the information based on the flashes he/she sees.

- Rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation is defined as “a set of interventions designed to optimize functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment.
- Example: Wearable robots strapped onto legs, and actuated motors are also used for rehabilitation in many scenarios.
