NeuroMyst Pro tDCS Device Kit - Dual DC + AC Modes, Broad Dose (4 mA), Rechargeable, Bonus Case

This is a solid device that does all that it does, which is everything you need, and does it extremely well. There are certainly bells and whistle you could add - even just a soft beep at the end of the cycle - but it does all the approved current levels of tDCS and tACS, across all the frequencies in the latest case. Setting to any of them is done via a beautifully simple menu using the five input buttons surrounding the satisfyingly bright and colourful central display. The buttons do different things as you make selections, but at whatever level the button is clearly and simply labelled on the screen. User interfaces are easy to get wrong but this one gets it all right, and it's a joy to use. The commonest preset setups are pre-stored in that menu system, if you can crack the code of pressing the button labelled "Presets" on the main menu for example. The one thing that I thought was odd was that there is an "Options" menu with exactly one option in it: whether to turn off the little square ◽️ on the display that tells you if you have good electrode contact. Why in the world would you not want that? I'm not taking any stars off for that, it isn't a flaw just a weird choice. (A better use for an option on a Mark Ii could be to turn that aforesaid soft beep on or off - just a thought.) The device is recharged with an ordinary USB-C charger. The two head contacts connect into it with an ordinary DC phono type plug. The head contact points use circular sponges you add a little salt water to, contained by rubber cups, and they're perfect for the job, straightforward to use and easy to clean and maintain. There is also a cloth headband for holding them in place, which does the job but is easily replaced with anything you want; for example, I have a knitted watch cap I use instead. You can do you. The build quality is great, rugged and reliable feeling: there are no rough edges. On the back there are four ordinary looking hex screws. I haven't taken it apart but plainly it is possible to do so; NeuroMyst have not gone out of their way to make it difficult for me should I want to do so later and I like that. The back also has the NeuroMyst logo. That's a nice logo guys! It also appears in purple on the case above "NeuroMyst" in yellow. The case has webbing retainer pockets on each side, closed by a zipper around the edge. It's a good choice of design, easy to pack and it'll fit in a reasonably sized jacket or coat pocket, handbag, or backpack. Okay, so does zapping your head with small amounts of electricity really help? Anecdotally from me, it genuinely seems to be; it might be a placebo effect but I'm not fussy at this point. I've been doing Positive with the occasional Caffeine, and the memory montages (which aren't presets but it's so easy to dial the numbers in- again, kudos to the UI team). I appear to myself to be getting the effects it says on the tin; YMMV. It is truly not often I give five star reviews but this deserves it. I'm not connected with the company in any way, nor am I being in any way compensated for this review; I'm just a surprisingly happy customer.

Just started using the NeuroMyst Pro, and honestly, pretty happy with it so far. Setup was super easy—even for a total beginner like me. The instructions were clear enough to get things going without any stress. Build quality feels solid, and the case it comes with is a nice touch. Switching between DC and AC modes is straightforward, and the intensity range (up to 4mA) gives some flexibility to find what works best. I also love that it’s rechargeable—so much better than dealing with batteries. So far, it’s been smooth, and I feel like it’s already helping with focus and mental clarity. Everything’s working great at the moment. If anything changes after more use, I’ll definitely come back and update. But right now, feels like a solid investment if you’re looking into tDCS.

Early days, but seems to work (using for depression). More complicated, and not as 'aesthetic' as the Flow, but that costs 3* as much.

I used this device for a month, but I did not notice any improvement in my well-being.

Having used both… Flow tDCS Pros: approved medical device with supporting evidence; managed & supported by phone app; simple electrode siting with polarity automatically correct; quick setup. Cons: fairly expensive; ongoing cost of pads; inflexible schedule tightly controlled by app, preventing extra sessions until after 6wks of maintenance; large (but elegant) box to protect device. NeuroMyst Pro Pros: flexibility of sessions, session duration and current; cost; small and convenient size of case; option of tACS also; easy to add in a tACS session using same electrode positions (F3-F4 for me); reusable pads. Cons: not a medical device; lacks supporting evidence; a faff to setup / electrode siting & polarity; possible to get the polarity wrong & opposite to that required (I only did once!); no audio indication of session end. Conclusion These two devices are actually complementary and I will continue to use both, with NeuroMyst Pro adding useful flexibility, particularly longer sessions at higher current and the option of tACS. It’s also much more convenient for taking on holiday due to size. Remember: it’s not a medical device! Use only if you understand and are confident with the technology at your own risk.

Easy to use and a good price, using mainly for depression and anxiety. Thought I'd try this after I was recommended a headset that was 3X the price, it has more features and allows me to try different setups rather than just the one. I'll try some of the other montages at a later date. I have seen that the NHS are trialling using tDCS for treating depression and this allows me to seek this treatment myself at home. From my limited use of the device I'm feeling hopeful that this helping me along the road to recovery. *Edit Dec 24* It really has helped me, I've stopped using it as much now but still twice a week. The montage I found most beneficial was TDCS -ve F3, +ve Ionion, 2mA for 20 mins. This stopped my anxiety which was feeding my depression, I'm working at coming off antidepressants now. It changed my life for the better

I have previously used the Flow headset. While the Flow is well packaged, it is expensive and limited. The Neuromyst gives the User more options to try. Nice little pièce of equipment

I’d suggest trying the same pattern of the electrodes for a few weeks, to make sure you get the best experience. As time goes on, you can increase the power. Remember to use salt on the pads so you get the best connection. You’ll get some tingling but don’t worry, it means it’s working. Buy new sponge pads on Amazon for cheap and cut to shape.
