will we eventually just be walking around with weird hats that have electrodes and receive optimal current for whatever task we're doing????

That is frightening. What ever happened to willpower and determination?

I know it just made me think of Matt, a friend, who went through electro shock therapy. It really messed him up.

oh really? damn that's kind of scary. wonder how the voltage and procedures compared to it at a hobbyist level

transcranial magnetic stimulation is really expensive and is not effective for people in mixed states

is that different from tdcs?

[squirrelfriend]

Yes, because it's stronger than tdcs and it has to be done by a trained professional it utilizes a wand using a magnetic field as opposed to a direct electrical current

I feel for him. His family practically disowned him and he now lives in the bad part of Detroit. His was done in a hospital.
