Project Description
Transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation, a non-invasive, reversible spinal cord neuromodulation method holds tremendous promise and hope for the people with paralysis resultant of spinal cord injury (SCI) and other neurological conditions. Yet, there are not many options of such stimulation device compared to other successful electrical stimulators such as neuromuscular electrical stimulator (NMES) and functional electrical stimulator (FES), especially for most people around the world.
The objective of this project is to design a simple, easy-to-build transcutaneous electrical stimulator (OpenXstim) to facilitate anyone with the modest technological knowledge to develop their own stimulator for the spinal cord stimulation treatment.

Goals for Brainhack Global
The goal is the collect different ideas and inputs during the Brainhack event to further furnish the design of OpenXstim
Good first issues
issue one: Designing an optimum constant current tropology for 10kHz biphasic stimulation.
issue two: Improving the safety features to avoid unsupervised stimulation.
