Abstract：Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a noninvasive nerve stimulation technique, which can regulate the neural activity by using specific, low-intensity current through two electrodes to specific brain regions. Previous studies showed that tES is a useful device for brain injury recovery, emotion regulation and improvement of cognitive capability. Its portable, painless, inexpensive, safe features and long-lasting effects make tES a very promising brain stimulation technique. This paper introduced the principle of tES as well as its clinical application, prospect and instrumentation.
