1. A system for providing non-invasive neuromodulation to a patient, the system comprising:

  • a mouthpiece comprising;

    an elongated housing having an anterior region and a posterior region, the elongated housing having a non-planar exterior top surface;

    a printed circuit board mounted to a bottom portion of the elongated housing, the printed circuit board having a plurality of electrodes for delivering subcutaneous local electrical stimulation to the patient'"'"'s tongue;

    control circuitry mounted within a top portion of the elongated housing for controlling electrical signals delivered to the electrodes;

    a cable with a first end attached to the anterior portion of the elongated housing and having a connector at a second end for connecting to a controller, the cable delivering electrical current to the electrodes via the control circuitry; and

    a controller comprising;

    an elongated u-shaped element configured to rest upon a patient'"'"'s shoulders;

    an electronic receptacle located at a terminus of the u-shaped element connecting to the cable;

    a microcontroller located within the three-dimensional u-shaped element, the microcontroller configured to send electrical control signals to the mouthpiece, the electrical control signals determining an amplitude and duration of electrical signals delivered to the patient'"'"'s tongue; and

    an accelerometer for measuring an activity level of the patient.
