1. An anterior member connectable to an elongate body member of a headset for providing electrical stimulation treatment to a head of a user, the anterior member comprising:
a base, connectable to the elongate body member;
a flexible leaf attached to said base, said flexible leaf having a rest position and an extended position, wherein, in said rest position, said flexible leaf has a first curvature, and in said extended position said flexible leaf has a second curvature, said second curvature having a greater radius than said first curvature, said flexible leaf being reversibly detachable from said base;
at least one anterior electrode, mounted onto said flexible leaf and adapted to electrically communicate with a processing unit, said at least one anterior electrode including an electrode pad;
at least one compressible portion extending radially inward of said base around said electrode pad and functionally associated with said at least one anterior electrode,
wherein said at least one compressible portion has a rest state and is configured to have a compressed state when the anterior member is connected to the elongate body member and when the headset is donned on the user's head,
wherein, in said rest state, said compressible portion has a first radial depth inward from said base, and in said compressed state said compressible portion is adapted to have second radial depth inward from said base, said second radial depth being smaller than said first radial depth,
wherein in said compressed state, the compressible portion is configured to apply pressure to a forehead of the user, responsive to compression of said electrode pad of said at least one anterior electrode, thereby being configured to maintain a physical connection between said electrode pad and the skin of the user.
