Fisher Wallace and Alpha Stim and Sota Bio Tuner (which I own) all use alternating current. tDCS uses direct current. A few years ago, I went to Radio Shack and bought all the parts for a tDCS unit, and a friend of mine who's an electronics whiz built it for me. tDCS has a subtle speedy effect on my brain. Sometimes it significantly elevates my mood, but most of the time this doesn't happen. I've read that it's better to use your brain while doing tDCS -- like studying a foreign language or doing math or playing video games -- instead of just sitting there passively.
