[ExI] Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

[spike]

My fault, I had guests this weekend and got a little behind on the moderator
duties.  When stuff comes in on 1 April, we know to beware, but it was
delayed a day because of me, so this came thru this morning, apologies.

Very cool article about transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and
its possible applications and moral consequences written by Sally Adee, a
woman who has actually tried it.

 

"they hook you up to what's essentially a 9-volt battery and let the current
flow through your brain. After a few years of lab testing, they've found
that tDCS can more than double the rate at which people learn a wide range
of tasks, such as object recognition, math skills, and marksmanship."
