[Solved] Can we talk about TDCS? overclocking your brain! seriously

Forum Overclocking : General Discussion [Solved] Can we talk about TDCS? overclocking your brain! seriously

Transcranial direct current stimulation
Alright i have ADD (attention deficit disorder) I am looking for a permanent cure on my journey i discovered this.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF tDCS:

The positive electrode is called the anode. Brain function under the electrode site is enhanced by roughly 20 to 40% when the current density (concentration of amperage under the electrode) exceeds 40 µa/cm2 (260 µa/inch2) (thats 2 milli amps for noobs). The negative electrode is called the cathode and it reduces brain function under the electrode site by 10 to 30% at the fore-mentioned current density. Anodal stimulation is the most common form of tDCS as it enhances brain function.

Were is it used?
Military apparently and to treat depression and other brain issues.

Why?
Proven to increase brains natural abilities up 40+% in the area stimulated for the time induced and permanently straighten the neuralgic connections for 50+ days after.
Air force claims its cut in half the learning time of UAV pilots.

Overclocking of Our most powerful Processing Device and the only one that matters.

Has any one tried this? and one make a device at home? does it work? will someone with more knowledge throw there two cents in.

I think you'd want a decent cooling system, I'm not sure what socket the brain's mounting system would require but water cooling it sure sounds like a good idea to me and remember overclocking will reduce the lifespan of the processor in question.

Hi,

Have tried it and it works. I also think I have got ADD or something that resembles ADD and it makes me calm and serene. Unlike anything I have ever experienced by taking medication.

Not sure if I would make a device myself. I'm quite knowledgeable on electronics and still preferred not to make it myself...

This site has some good information: http://www.trans-cranial.com/howitworks

If you want to know anything specific, you can PM me.

Steve

THC is the cure for ADD...But if you want to OC the brain by sticking electric to your head I would suggest you watch your temps and make sure your mem modules are set with the correct timings...For real you ask this question on Tom's !?...Try the Mayo Clinic website for such matters...Sounds like to me your just a troll...Damn there I go feeding the trolls !!!

I remember you posting this a while back :-)
It all ended when we decided Stephen hawking had been overvolted....
