Apply Current, Boost Brain Power
CategoriesFurther to TransCranial Magnetic Stimulator this is a very interesting article, suspect like the CES (Brain Tuner) this device relaxes one sufficiently to improve cognitive performance. Stress reduction is a major component for improved immune performance also. Most of the oxidative therapies also reduce stress. For more on this see: The Stress of Life by Hans Selye.
Of course one need not hold their breath to get one of these devices anytime soon as it should cut into the pharma profits and will be delayed perpetually; or only used covertly should it turn out to be some sort of mind control device; or will be unnecessarily over complicated and expensive so it can be out of reach from the masses. Sadly one is forced to experiment on their own without the benefit of good safety and efficacy studies... However the CES devices are available and can be effective if not more so!

Apply Current, Boost Brain Power02:00 AM Nov. 06, 2004 PT
Sending a weak electrical impulse through the front of a person's head can boost verbal skills by as much as 20 percent, according to a new study by the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
In the study, researchers at the institute asked 103 volunteers to recall as many words that begin with a particular letter as possible. The researchers then passed a 2-milliamp current -- one-tenth of what is needed to power a small LED (light-emitting diode) light -- through electrodes attached to the surfaces of the volunteers' foreheads. When the volunteers were quizzed again while the current was still on, this time with a different letter, they were able to come up with 20 percent more words on average.
"This process is so easy to miniaturize that it essentially becomes wearable," he said. "One day, a patient could be wearing it in a hat with the power source in a bucket and turning it on perhaps at critical times of day."
But don't expect to be able to buy a "thinking cap" to help your kids with their homework anytime soon. Wassermann said he and his team only plan to focus on medical applications right now.
"The question of improving normal function is fraught with complexity," he said. "It's going to come up, obviously, but it's not something that I'm planning to do at this point."
