Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method and a device for an activation of brain regions. The method comprises attaching a first active electrode to a first leg of a person in the back of the knee area in an expected location of a peroneal nerve of the first leg and attaching a grounding electrode to the person. Generating electrical pulses by a pulse generator connected to the first active electrode and the grounding electrode. Stimulating by the first active electrodes the peroneal nerve of the first leg, activating the brain regions via the stimulation and controlling via a control unit a flow of the generated pulses to the first electrode.
Claims19
A method for an activation of brain regions, the method comprising:
- attaching a first active electrode to a first leg of a person in the back of the knee area in an expected location of a peroneal nerve of the first leg;
- attaching a grounding electrode to the person;
- generating electrical pulses by a pulse generator connected to the first active electrode and a grounding electrode;
- stimulating by the first active electrode the peroneal nerve of the first leg and activating brain regions via the stimulation by the first active electrode, wherein the activation of the brain regions comprises an increase of a neuronal activity in the brain regions of at least one of a limbic system, a basal ganglia or a midbrain of the person;
- and
- controlling via a control unit a flow of the generated pulses to the first active electrode.
