1. A method for treating a user diagnosed with a cognitive disorder comprising:
placing a first stimulation electrode on the scalp of the user to target a left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex brain region of the user;
placing a second stimulation electrode on the scalp of the user to target a right inferior frontal gyrus of the user:
delivering an electrical stimulation signal between the first stimulation electrode and the second stimulation electrode,
wherein the electrical stimulation signal is comprised of a plurality of frequencies, wherein the electrical stimulation signal is a random noise stimulation signal, and wherein each of the electrodes comprises a plurality of sub electrodes, and isolation members for electric separation therebetween,
the method further comprising
emulating electrodes at specific locations by selecting specific sub electrodes of said plurality of sub electrodes for delivering the stimulation signal,
keeping a contact area of an aggregate of sub electrodes of the selected sub electrodes within a perimeter of an emulated electrode, and
wherein the selected sub electrodes define an active area and the isolation members therebetween define a dead area, and wherein the selected sub electrodes are selected such that the active area is greater than the dead area.
