The Focus V3 tES device features tDCS (Direct Current), tACS (Alternating Current), tPCS (Pulsed Current), tRNS (Random Noise) stimulation and an all new tRCS (Rippled Current 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 micro 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.

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 tDCS Waveform

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.

Focus V3 tACS Waveform

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.

Focus V3 tPCS Waveform

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.

Focus V3 tRNS Waveform

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

FAQ

Do I need an app to control foc.us V3?

No. All functionality of the V3 is available via the joystick and LED display. Alternatively, V3 can be controlled via the foc.us/me Android app.

Current Regulation in foc.us V3

Probably the most important function of an electrical stimulator is ensuring that the target current level is correctly maintained. This is an explanation of how foc.us control the current output in the foc.us V3. There is a hardware current regulator which is controlled by the MCU. The MCU does not participate in current regulation, it just sets the target current value to the current regulator input. The hardware current regulator is very fast. It can change the output current from the minimum 0mA to the maximum 2mA in 300 µ seconds at full impedance load. At lower resistance levels it can do it even faster. The current of the high voltage source is hardware limited to 2.1 mA, which is fed to the hardware current regulator,.which as described above can quickly change the output current to the targeted value and thenthe final step is an independent hardware current limiter, configured to 2.1 mA between the hardware current regulator and the electrodes. In summary, the input to the hardware current regulator cannot exceed 2.1 mA, which is then shaped into the signal e.g. tdcs, trns, tpcs, tacs at the desired current level - which is limited to 2 mA, and then passed through a final limiter before the electrodes. This provides super fast, super safe signal generation. As part of the assembly process we test and verify that all three of these circuits are functioning correctly. We perform this test on every single device. 100% testing.

Charging your foc.us V3

Plug the included USB cable into your laptop or phone charging cube. If you do not see the battery icon, then your device is not charging.

This Device Outshines Even Its Price!

I have been trying the V3 and am extremely-impressed with it; With the simplicity and ease of use, along with the many features and options, the V3 is definitely a device to purchase from Caputron! The manner in which they do business and have responded to my questions and proposals has been wonderful.

Just the fact that I can use one device for the 5 waveforms available...This allows for constructive, low-stress healing. The high number of types of stimulation programs is valuable. This is because many may require, not only varying waveform settings, but a different waveform in itself, depending on the time, goal, and other factors of the session.

It's ok. Too gimmicky for me

Caputron is great, but this particular device isn't that great. It didn't come with any instructions. It has a few preset programs you can run, but the only thing you can adjust is the duration and the amps. That's it. I need a little more freedom than that. It's tiny and very portable. Other people might find what they want in this device. I personally did not.
