Apparatus and method for manipulating the nervous system by electric fields

An electronic apparatus for induction of charges in a skin area of a subject without contacting the skin area, the electronic apparatus comprising:

• a signal source;
• and
• an electrode system, the electrode system comprising:
• reference electrodes operably coupled to the signal source for receiving reference signals;
• and
• active electrodes operably coupled to the signal source for receiving active signals,
• wherein, the reference and the active electrodes form multiple electrode pairs, each electrode pair comprising a single reference electrode and a single active electrode, each electrode pair forming its own electric field,
• wherein, individual active electrodes may receive different active signals, and accordingly electrode pairs may form different electric fields,
• wherein an output electric field of the device comprises multiple spatially joined electric fields of different electrode pairs, the output electric field being adapted for application to the skin area,
• wherein the electrodes receive active signals from the signal source via a signal adjustment circuit, the signal adjustment circuit comprises a voltage divider which comprises capacitors coupled in parallel to an output of the signal adjustment circuit.
