1. A stimulation apparatus comprising:

  • a cap configured to interact with a head of a user;

    an electric source coupled to the cap, the electric source capable of generating an electric field across a region of tissue; and

    a non-electric energy source coupled to the cap, the non-electric energy source configured to emit energy to at least a portion of the region of tissue for altering electromagnetic properties of at least the portion of the region of tissue;

    wherein the cap further comprises a material that acts as a bridging medium between the region of tissue and the electric source and/or the non-electric energy source, and the cap is configured such that a portion of the energy emitted by the non-electric energy source intersects a portion of the electric field generated by the electric source at the region of tissue.
