Zapping the brains of people over 60 with a mild electrical current improved a form of memory enough that they performed like people in their 20s, a new study found...
During a sham stimulation, the older group was less accurate than the younger participants. But during and after 25 minutes of real brain stimulation, they did as well. The improvement lasted for at least another 50 minutes after the stimulation ended, at which point the researchers stopped testing. It’s not clear how long the benefit reached beyond that, Reinhart said, but previous research suggests it might go for five hours or more after stimulation stops.
Researchers got the same result with a second group of 28 subjects over age 62.

When I was 7 years old I had an older boy bet me I couldn’t pee on an electric fence. He lost the bet. I remember it like it was yesterday and I’m 67 now.
I hear a screwdriver inserted in a wall outlet will do the trick just fine.
When these come out, if I don’t forget to buy one, it wouldn’t work for me since I would forget to use it.</i>
I knew a guy who accidently peed on an electric fence. He said he felt it up to his kidneys. I took his word for it.

That is just going to give a slight tingle if that even if you are standing in a puddle before the breaker blows. The current has a low resistance direct path not including the higher resistance you. To do it right you need 2 separate prongs, one in each hand. That current flow would cross the heart and result in the stated goal of “Not My President.”
Now, why on earth would I want to have the brain of a 20-something year-old? I might end up as dumb as AOC or her even dumber voters.
No thanks...
“Jolts to the brain are great as a last, LAST measure.
that’s it”
The old ECT fried the brain. And after a few weeks it would heal so they would fry it again, and again....
The new ECT is not like the old.
Start your lawnmower then reach down and pull the plug wire off or just plant you foot firmly on the mower deck, hold the plug wire in your hand and give the starter rope a good healthy pull. Viola instant memory upgrade.

They probably got the idea from watching the original "Ghostbusters".
So, by extension, if I pee in an electrical outlet, I won’t need Viagra any more? Asking for a friend. :-)
When we were 6 years old we used to zap worms to get them coming out of the ground for bait. We stood next to the generator hand-cranked zapper rod every time. I wound up with the brain of a 20 year old coz I was constantly going after my 17 year old babysitters when I was 7.
I STRONGLY advise NOT to pee on an electric fence! Don’t ask me how I know this.
I think I should put a shock collar on my wife. She puts stuff away and forgets where she put it. Then accuses me of moving it to make her mad.???????????????????? Like I like being yelled at?
There are already loads of Chinese TDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) machines on Ebay. They’re all supposed to be very low voltage... but China.
If people want to test out this experiment themselves, and want to go all out on the experiment, then....
All they have to do is stand at the top of a hill or on top of a building during a lightning storm, wait for the zap, and will be very brainy for a few hours (OR NOT AT ALL).
But it is still used after ALL medications that can be tried haven’t worked.
there’s gotta be a reason for that
but yeah they’re MUCH safer than back when
know people who have had it done and only one changed
he said his whole life changed on the first zot
but he was a bit of a character so i dont know
maybe
Are you folks saying you never heard of Electrical medicine? Wow I thought there were some bright people here, But maybe I am wrong
