Advanced Neuromodulation Capability
Advanced tES systems represent the next generation of transcranial electrical stimulation, offering capabilities beyond standard tDCS protocols. These sophisticated systems enable 8 or more independently controlled stimulation channels, permitting high-definition montages that focus current delivery with unprecedented spatial precision.
Multi-Channel Precision
Where standard tDCS operates with simple electrode configurations, advanced multi-channel systems enable high-definition montages — such as 4x1 configurations — that target specific cortical regions whilst minimising effects on surrounding tissue. This precision is particularly valuable for complex presentations requiring focal intervention.
Multiple Stimulation Waveforms
Advanced tES systems support not only direct current (tDCS) but also alternating current (tACS) and random noise stimulation (tRNS). Each waveform engages distinct neurophysiological mechanisms, enabling QPAN® to recommend optimal stimulation types based on NeuroMap® frequency analysis and condition-specific evidence.
Simultaneous EEG Monitoring
Real-time EEG recording during stimulation enables closed-loop protocols and immediate verification of neurophysiological response. Practitioners observe brain activity changes as stimulation occurs, enabling protocol refinement and objective session documentation.
Electric Field Modelling
Advanced software calculates precise electric field distribution across individual brain anatomy, enabling montage optimisation before treatment begins. QPAN® leverages this capability to generate protocols with predictable, reproducible effects tailored to each patient's neuroanatomy.
Programmable Multi-Step Protocols
Complex treatment sequences execute automatically once configured — enabling sophisticated intervention protocols that would be impractical with manual parameter adjustment. QPAN® generates these multi-step protocols directly, minimising practitioner burden whilst maximising treatment precision.
Conditions Particularly Suited to Advanced tES
Advanced tES is indicated for presentations where standard tDCS proves insufficient — multi-focal network dysregulation, frequency-specific abnormalities requiring oscillatory entrainment, or cases demanding higher spatial precision:
- Complex presentations with multi-focal network involvement
- Frequency-specific dysregulation patterns identified on QEEG
- Cases requiring precise spatial targeting
- Treatment-resistant conditions where standard tDCS has proven insufficient
- Presentations requiring real-time EEG-guided protocol adjustment
QPAN® identifies appropriate candidates through analytical criteria, ensuring advanced capability is deployed where it adds genuine clinical value.
