Abstract
A system for electrically stimulating a user includes an electrode assembly, a control module, an electrode usage module, a communication module, a stimulus generator, and a client application. Additionally or alternatively, the system 100 can include any or all of: a head apparatus, a power source, a sensor subsystem, an electrical coupling subsystem, a user device, and/or any other suitable component(s). A method for electrically stimulating a user includes reading a tag of the electrode assembly, applying electrical stimulation to a user, determining and/or updating an electrode usage, and triggering an action based on the tag. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: coupling an electrode assembly with a head apparatus, receiving an input from a user to initiate an electrical stimulation session, transmitting tag information, updating the tag, applying electrical stimulation to a user, verifying tag information, and/or any other suitable process(es).
