I’m reminded of the submarine electrician in “Down Periscope.” Prophecy? The future of medicine?

Too late for Slow Joe. You can’t zap a brain that isn’t there.

If I urinate on an electric fence, will it help with my prostate area?

Will peeing on an electric fence work. I know I woke up to not doing it again at about age 9 years old? Now I’m in my 70’s and still remember “don’t pee on that!”.

I’ve used tDCS numerous times at 1 to 40 hz.

Participants who received the higher frequency (60 Hz) improved in their ability to remember words from the beginning of the list, reflecting boosts to long-term memory.

60HZ: how convenient for those in the western hemisphere...

Chipping my tired old ass won’t be pleasant. I chip back and it is particularly invasive. 230 grains and 950’ a second or so.

Nope, but you might get arrested for indecent exposure.

“I've used tDCS numerous times at 1 to 40 hz.”

You're getting them confused. tDCS is measured in 1-4 milliamps in usually 10-30 min durations. 2 milliamps is considered optimal and it can get dangerous when you reach 4 milliamps or above. Darpa has done extensive research in enhanced learning using tDCS.

Nope. You'll just get a smoked wiener

It’s been shown that people remember not to touch the cattle wire after getting a jolt.
