Neurogenic stimulator

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

A neurogenic stimulator is a medical device that is used to stimulate a patient's brain by giving the cerebral cortex a direct burst of electrical energy. Normally a burst of 50 millivolts is used to create a cascade effect within the brain, causing the brain's neurons to resume their normal firing pattern.

In 2371, Doctor Julian Bashir used a neurogenic stimulator during his attempt to revive the brain damaged Bareil Antos. (DS9: "Life Support")
