#3Would be cool if implants like Neuralink could include features like this or interact with technology like this somehow.

#5Most notable thing about this link is that it hijacked the back button on my phone.

#6It would be nice to know what the potential long term damage of something like this is. Relate it to exercise. You work out one group of muscles all the time as much as you can, and the rest of the body is near worthless.
At best you have someone who is basically an idiot savant. At worst, you have someone who has forgotten basic life functions, but handles being a soldier like the best of them.

Agreed, I was really hoping this kind of deceptive crap wouldn't still be present in 2019?

#8tDCS is not a new technology by any means.
I did a week long retreat last year using a prototype tDCS device made specifically as a beta for helping mindfulness practice. I found it useful as an aid definitely in relaxation and as a byproduct for focusing. I would do it more often if they figured out a cheap, sustainable way to put the electrodes on the head without all the gels/sponges/etc.

#9Title should sound more like this:Increased learning speed in monkeys.
It's also from 2017. As we are now two years later, have these findings been replicated with humans?

Probably a lot simpler if you shave your head, no?
