1. A method of performing non-invasive electrical stimulation, the method comprising:
providing a non-invasive electrical stimulation device, the device comprising:
at least one remote electrode that can be bent to fit to a user's body, the remote electrode having a conductive gel attached to a conductive layer of the remote electrode, the at least one remote electrode electrically connected to pulse generation circuitry;
the pulse generation circuitry in electrical communication with communication circuitry, the communication circuitry configured to receive and process pulse generation control signals from a computing device;
detecting the presence of the non-invasive electrical stimulation device by the computing device;
presenting, on a display of the computing device, a plurality of pulse generation control signal options available for transmission to the non-invasive electrical stimulation device;
wirelessly transmitting a selection of the pulse generation control signals from the computing device to the communication circuitry;
presenting on the display of the computing device, a visual instruction on where to place the at least one remote electrode on the user's body based on the selection of the pulse generation control signals;
positioning the at least one remote electrode on to the user's body such that the conductive gel is against the user's body; and
delivering electrical stimulation waveforms through the at least one remote electrode according to instructions encoded in the pulse generation control signals.
