In hobbyist, BDSM, and DIY bioelectronics communities, “electro stim files” most commonly refer to audio files (e.g., MP3, WAV, or specialized formats like MPTS or Stereostim) that are designed to be played through an electro-stimulation (e-stim) power box (e.g., ErosTek, 2B, DIY midistim). The audio signal is amplitude-modulated to produce varying sensations via electrodes placed on the skin.
