The cortical stimulator is a medical device used to revive or stabilize critical patients by delivering an electrical shock to induce brain activity. It is almost always attached to the temples or foreheads of humanoids.

Cortical stimulators are standard equipment in the sickbays of Starfleet vessels in the 24th century, and serve a similar function to the cardiostimulator. (TNG: "Skin of Evil", "Ethics")
