A stimulation apparatus comprising:
- a head unit configured to interact with a head of a user;
- an electric source coupled to the head unit, the electric source capable of generating an electric field across a region of tissue;
- and
- a non-electric energy source coupled to the head unit, the non-electric energy source configured to emit energy to at least a portion of the region of tissue for altering electromagnetic properties of at least the portion of the region of tissue;
- wherein the head unit further comprises a material that acts as a bridging medium between the region of tissue and the electric source and/or the non-electric energy source.
