You have a long list of good comments, so it's worth telling you that you were shadow banned at least 6 months ago... I just vouched for this comment and I have showdead enabled.

Yikes, he was shadowbanned in August of 2017 after creating the account in June 2017 and has been commenting into the void ever since!

Say wooot? Since I can't read the paywalled article I'm wondering how exactly do you apply "noninvasive stimulation" on these frequencies. Was it audio, electrodes on a shaved head, combination of drugs, did this work in rats first etc..

I don't think we can call electrodes on (in?) a shaved head 'non-invasive'...

Well, since I don't consider getting a haircut or shaving to be a surgical procedure, I'd disagree.

This reminds me of a section of the book "Why we sleep"[1] that said similar techniques could enhance an older persons sleep quality. (I don't know the title of the study unfortunately.) It looks like this is an exciting area of research right now.

In your profile, enable showdead. The history goes back a way.

Seeing all those unaddressed, never-seen comments causes me some personal existential self-examining on the value (or rather, potential non-value) of my own thoughts :)

I don't think it's lol myself, this guy's a good commenter who didn't pick up fast enough on the "politesse above all--even truth, decency and humanity" rules and norms that are in place here on HN. :\
