== Notes on Testing DIY tDCS Devices ==

Since you're building this on your own you might want to make sure the device works as expected. I test my device using:

* A range of resistors <1KOhm

* An external ampere meter.

I put the resistor and the ampere meter (serially) to where my head would be in the circuit then fire it up. I make sure the current is properly adjustable and the meter I have is the same as the external ampere meter. I switch resistors and try again.

Only after doing this I can be sure that the current is properly limited by the LM334 circuit.

"As a tDCS device is easily built and inexpensive (contrary to TMS), it could also be used for

non-research and non-therapeutic objectives by lay people."
