Are you using tDCS yet?

What the heck is it? Zapping your brain with tiny jolts of electricity in order to increase the likelihood of neurons firing. You can use 2 (or more electrodes) to pass the power through your brain, and depending on where you put them you can experience different effects.

Some placements enhance learning (DARPA study), some enhance motor skills, and some treat depression.

It's all really interesting stuff, and I just got a kit to experiment with. Here's to exploring the brain!

ummmm i did enough damage to my brain in my 20's lol. i read about this in my psych class. not for me but i am curious how your experimenting goes.

Right? It seemed pretty sketchy, but at the same time I'm damnably curious, and this relatively uncharted territory calls to me. Two sessions yesterday told me I need to make sure I understand how the device works (it wasn't actually on for the first few minutes, just standing by), and I need to figure out an arm and headband set up if I want to go deeper into the "montages", or electrode placements. Very interesting stuff!

just listened to Rogan and he talked about this a little with Rhonda Patrick in case you are interested in listening. It's episode 901.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I've heard of that but don't really know much about it . Some businesses in my area have opened saying that they can do this to help kids with learning issues. Let me know how you like it! Thanks . I upvote you

Right on, I'll totally post up on Steem about how it goes. We live in fascinating times, thanks for the vote!
