    Immediately stop using Foc.us if you experience short short-term negative effects. Foc.us is not a toy and is not intended to be used by anyone under the age of 18 years old. If using external electrodes, it is not recommended to place electrodes in patterns that differ from the default Foc.us configurations.

    V3 ELECTRICAL BRAIN STIMULATOR Your Foc.us V3 is an electrical neuro-stimulator which will deliver a controlled current to your brain. The theory of transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) is that by passing a current through your brain, the excitation levels of your brain cells are altered. The delivered current is small compared to the current that is already flowing in your brain;...

    The stimulation will start at 0mA and slowly increase until reaching the target current The V3 screen will show you real-time session data. Because It’s Possible Your brain cells are now excited, your plasticity is increased. Go learn, train & focus!
  • Page 8: Electrode Placements

    ELECTRODE PLACEMENTS The effects of tES depend on the positioning and polarity of the electrodes. Anodal stimulation induces an increase in cortical excitability under the X electrode. Cathodal stimulation induces an increase in cortical inhibition under the Y electrode. When electrodes are placed on the shoulder or arm, the exact location is less important than when placed on the head, so long as the correct arm/shoulder is used i.e.

    Connect x/y cable to V3 Insert the 2.5mm 4 pin jack end of the x/y cable into the socket on the side of the V3 and you are ready to go. Understand that the electricity will take the path of least resistance between the X and Y electrodes.
  • Page 10: V3 Stimulation Modes

    V3 STIMULATION MODES What is a mode? The mode describes the shape of the electrical signal. At a minimum V3 includes tDCS, tACS, so- tDCS, tPCS, tRNS and tRCS modes. Each mode has a set of parameters that control the shape of the electrical output.

    You are creating an electrical circuit with your head as the “load”. The resistance of your head is constantly chang- ing. V3 measures the resistance and adjusts the voltage 50,0000 per second. This super-fast voltage control is combined with triple current-locking circuitry to ensure the stimu-...

    3rd eye was an extra high frequency added to target the pineal gland - also known as the 3rd eye. More information can be found on the website. If you have a novel stimulation request please post on the Foc.us forums and we will consider developing it for you.

You play by tapping the V3 body whenever you see the character that matches the character N appearances ago. Whilst playing the game you will see a tick or cross when you tap the device to show if you are right or wrong.
