Brain Stimulation Home Device Miamind®
Personalized Neurostimulation at Home
Experience the future of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) with the Miamind® home device for brain stimulation. As the world’s first fully personalized brain stimulator, Miamind® offers a comfortable and safe treatment at home, based on precise MRI data and 3D-printed caps.
Why a home device for brain stimulation?
Modern Brain Electrotherapy
Modern brain electrotherapy has the potential to enhance cognitive functions, alleviate neurological symptoms, and improve quality of life. With a home brain stimulation device, you benefit from:
- Comfortable application in a familiar environment without clinic visits
- Remote monitoring by your treating physician
- High flexibility in therapy times and session frequency
- Reduced travel costs and time commitments
Miamind® makes these benefits accessible by integrating the latest research into a user-friendly home device.

What is transcranial electrical stimulation (tES)?
Transcranial Electrical Stimulation
Transcranial Electrical Stimulation applies low electrical currents through electrodes placed on the scalp to targeted areas of the brain. This neurostimulation adjusts the activity of nerve cells, enhances blood flow, and influences brain metabolism. Depending on the specific settings, brain activity can be:
- Increased to boost cognitive functions such as memory retention and focus
- Reduced to soothe regions with excessive electrical activity (e.g., areas prone to seizures)
- Adjusted to particular frequencies to restore dysfunctional brain waves in conditions like depression or Alzheimer’s
Miamind® utilizes these principles in a tailored manner to provide accurate neurostimulation for Alzheimer’s disease and various other neurological conditions.
Personalized Brain Stimulation
Benefits and Outlook
Jedes Gehirn ist anatomisch einzigartig. Eine standardisierte Elektrode-Positionierung reicht oft nicht aus. Deshalb erstellt Miamind®:
- MRT-basierte Analyse: Ihr behandelnder Arzt lädt T1- und T2-gewichtete MRT–Scans (mindestens 3 Tesla) ins Miamind-Portal hoch.
- Computersimulation: Patientenspezifische Modelle berechnen optimale Elektrodenpositionen und Stromverteilungen.
- 3D-gedruckte Kappe: Eine massgeschneiderte Kappe mit bis zu 34 flexiblen Elektroden wird gefertigt.
- Therapieplan: Individuelle Stimulationsparameter für tDCS (Gleichstrom) und tACS (Wechselstrom) werden festgelegt.
Dieses human-centered Design sichert die höchste Präzision und Robustheit der personalisierten Neurostimulation, minimiert unerwünschte Effekte und maximiert den Behandlungserfolg.

Information: Applications and Study Findings
Fields of application and research status
Research shows that transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) can have positive effects in the treatment of various neurological and psychiatric disorders:
Neurostimulation in Alzheimer's Dementia
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can enhance memory performance in cognitive tests. Promising results are seen in the treatment of Alzheimer’s dementia and in cases of cognitive impairments.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Anodal tDCS can enhance cortical excitability in the motor cortex and improve the fine motor skills of the affected limbs after stroke. In a pilot study, patients demonstrated significant improvements in arm and hand function after repeated tDCS sessions.
Chronische Schmerzen und Depression
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and tDCS modulate the neurotransmitter system. In a randomized study, 10-Hz tACS led to a normalization of pathological alpha rhythms and significantly reduced depressive symptoms.
Epilepsy and Convulsion Disorders
Clinical studies demonstrate that cathodal tDCS can reduce epileptic discharges without triggering seizures. This brain electrotherapy offers a non-pharmacological approach to decreasing seizure frequency.
Safety and Tolerance
Transcranial electrical stimulation is considered a remarkably safe treatment method. Systematic reviews mainly report mild, temporary side effects such as tingling, itching, or headaches. With proper application and adherence to exclusion criteria (e.g., no metallic implants), permanent damage has not been documented.
