Summary:Nerve stimulation devices and methods for performing non-invasive nerve stimulation are provided that are particularly well suited for performing non-invasive stimulation of one or both of the great auricular nerve and auricular branch of the vagus nerve through a target nerve junction in the neck of the subject. The nerve stimulation devices use dry electrolyte electrodes that (1) are comfortableto use, (2) suitable for long-term use, (3) avoid delivering painful shocks to the subject, (4) do not require soaking of the electrodes in saline solutions or covering them in sticky or wet gels, (5) do not require skin preparation, and (6) avoid causing muscle contraction in areas outside of the target nerve junction containing the great auricular nerve and the auricular branch of the vagus nerve during use. 提供了用于进行非侵入性神经刺激的神经刺激装置和方法，其特别适用于通过受试者颈部中的目标神经接头对耳大神经和迷走神经耳支中的一者或两者进行非侵入性刺激。神经刺激装置使用干电解质电极，所述干电解质电极(1)使用舒适，(2)适合长期使用，(3)避免向受试者输送痛苦的电击，(4)不需要将电极浸泡在盐水溶液中或者用粘性凝胶或湿凝胶将电极覆盖，(5)不需要皮肤的准备，以及(6)避免在使用期间在包含耳大神经和迷走神经耳支的目标神经
