Rippled Current Stimulation

The new foc.us V3 features a rippled current stimulation (tRCS). tRCS is a dynamic tACS. The waveform ripples after the stimulation frequency as a function of time.

Accurate Stimulation

Inside foc.us V3 is a 32Bit ARM® Microprocessor. Using advanced micro-electronics ensures accurate stimulation. Impedance changes can be detected and correct in 50 µ seconds. This means target current levels are super-accurate and super-stable. Only the best components were used in construction from such manufacturers as Texas Instruments, Seiko and Panasonic. If you want the best, this is it.

Easy to Use

Getting started with foc.us is simple. The blue OLED digital display and 4-way joystick make light work of controlling your session. During stimulation you can see the exact session time remaining, the active current value in mA plus a real-time graph of the actual current.

Increase Peak Alpha

The dynamic frequencies entrain your brainwaves. The frequency shift then lifts entrained brainwaves higher.

Alpha Vision

Targetting the occipital lobe for increased visual awareness. See more with focus V3.

Time is Important

It is important not to mis-use electrical stimulation through over or repeat usage. That is why the foc.us V3 includes a real time clock. It will warn you if you try to start a stimulation session too soon after your last session. It also times and limits each session to the maximum recommended length of 40 minutes. You can also use the timer to start your session up to 12 hours in the future. This is useful if you want a session to start when you are asleep. All session logs are stamped with the time they were started for your convenience.

Small But Powerful

foc.us was designed with the aim of being both small and powerful. V3 includes a 3 axis accelerometer. It provides raw data for X, Y and Z movements as well as slope detection, tap sensing, orientation recognition, g-force detection and inactivity sensing. This movement detection is used in the lucid dream program to stop stimulation when movement is detected. Weighing in at less than the battery found in some DIY stimulators yet generating an output 6x higher.

Safety First

The focus V3 implements recommended safety guidelines for transcranial stimulation

• CE certified to Medical Standard 60601:2
• Over usage prevention system
• Current limiting circuitry and session audit logs

App Controlled Stimulation

V3 can be controlled via the foc.us/me Android app.

Focus V3 Available Waveforms - tRCS waveform image coming soon

tDCS - transcranial direct current stimulation

tDCS mode current can be set from 0.1 to 2.0 mA for session durations between 1 and 40 minutes. Voltage can be also be controlled from 10 V to 60 V. Actual current is logged every 50 ms for an accurate record of the session. Featuring current ramp up and ramp down to make session start and end as comfortable as possible.

tACS - transcranial alternating current stimulation

tACS mode current can be set from 0 to 2 mA for session durations of between 1 and 40 minutes. Frequency can be set between 0 and 300 Hz in both unipolar and bipolar modes. A current offset between 0 and the target current can also be specified.

tPCS - transcranial pulsed current stimulation

Set the duty cycle and frequencey for pulsed current stimulation sessions. You can set Sham to ON, and have no graph, or set sham to BLIND and the focus V3 will either show the real current graph or create a fake graph.

tRNS - transcranial random noise stimulation

Randomize the current, the frequency or both and set the range boundaries for each. tRNS is becoming increasingly popular in todays electrical brain stimulation studies.

Future modes may be added via firmware update
