So. Has anyone of us actually tried this?

Additionally, the site could look a lot more trustworthy.

Wow. There's not even an attempt to hide the blatant "borrowing" of pinterest's under-header call to action. Hey, it works for the site though.

I'm not sure, but I believe sale of this kind of thing must be regulated by authorities. I mean, plug electrodes to your head? Sure, looks legit.

I think I'll let others do the epidemiological study on the long terms effects of this for me. In the mean time, I'll stick with good sleep, good food, and good exercise.

Don't get me wrong. I would love this to work flawlessly. I'm just afraid it may not.

I like how they link to the gizmodo article to reference the benefits, when in fact the article says its stupid to DIY.

No, but it certainly looks interesting. According to the collective intelligence that is the internets current tDCS products cost upwards of $600, so this might be an interesting alternative.

yeah, thats what i thought. This is not looking trustworthy at all. It could be a nice idea to use something like this. After all, we are stimulating ourselves in every possible way. Be it drugs or other techniques. But i think this website should spend a whole lot of time expaining why this is so awesome and useful and not scary. Darpa using it does not make me feel comfortable at all.

This is reminiscent of the time-machine that Kip orders off the internet in Napoleon Dynamite. Pass.

I cannot fathom shopping for an electrical device to hook up to my brain, primarily on the basis of price.
