A method and apparatus for monitoring and obtaining actual bio-electrical characteristics of a subject, such as EEG, or determinants of the psycho-electro-physiological state of the subject, under predetermined conditions of evoked response stimuli, and by interaction with a computer, apply cutaneous electrical stimulation to the subject, using a signal generator to modify current amplitude and frequency in a direction to achieve bio-electrical characteristics in the subject related to the actual bio-electrical characteristics monitored. The signal generator may have an output of several frequencies simultaneously, and uses a sinusoidal waveform output, with battery power passed through a transformer to power a transconductance amplifier to obtain constant current output despite resistance changes in the line with the subject, and with the transformer not placed in the signal path of the sinusoidal waveform.

A method of diagnostic and therapeutic treatment of a patient comprising the steps of attaching a source of cutaneous electrical stimulation at the head area of the patient, applying alternating constant current electrical stimulation from said source in the form of a continuous sine wave, controlling the current and frequency of the stimulation within current and frequency parameters which initiate the non-adversive sensation which the patient characterizes as tingling, controlling the frequency to a range within which the visual field of the patient appears to be pulsating or oscillating, controlling the frequency to a range within which the patient perceives a flickering pale white light, controlling the frequency to a range within which the patient experiences a resonance or vibratory sensation emanating from his head.
