Zapping your brain with electricity - anybody tried this?

Hmmm. I'd have to read more on this tDCS thing but I'd consider trying it.

I wonder how long it takes to notice a "significant," or worthwhile, increase in performance of whatever-it-is you're interested in; that article mentions the army doing studies for several years.
 
I've been digging around online; apparently you can make your own version for pretty cheap using a 9v battery, some electrodes, and a multimeter to test the output (along with saline solution for where the pads touch your skin).

Looks like I'll be hitting radioshack tonight. 🙂
 
there was a thing on nova about a device like this that the military used for training people more quickly in using drones (how to make out a legit target). it got their training down from months to 2 weeks iirc. one side of your brain gets hit by negative ions, the other positive or some such.

significant boost in learning. i'd give it a shot if i could take a seat in that device
 
So if I hook up 12V across my fuel injection system, would the positive and negative ions improve the performance?


Wow, this has possibilities.

Where is Adlep?
 
A brilliant attempt to weed out and eliminate the mentally "weaker" part of the population.

Just brilliant ...
