Sending weak electrical current into the brain for 20 minutes a day for four days in a row reversed declines in working and long-term memory that come with aging, scientists reported Monday in Nature Neuroscience. The researchers found that the effects lingered even after the electricity was turned off. When they tested subjects a month later, many of the improvements from the brief sessions of brain stimulation remained.
The findings provide some of the strongest support yet for a method called transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS, as a potential means for boosting mental functions essential to navigating the world and understanding one’s own place in it — functions that tend to deteriorate the older people get.
Unlike more invasive forms of brain stimulation that require brain surgery to install chips and implants, tACS involves little more than wearing a modified swimming cap studded with dozens of electrodes. The technology emerged from research into how neuronal networks strung widely throughout the brain coordinate to form, store, and retrieve memories through rhythmic oscillations in neuronal firing known as brain waves. Different parts of the brain pulse and thrum at different frequencies. And over the last two decades, neuroscientists across many labs have found evidence that synchronizing these vibrations across brain regions, similar to how the wind, brass, and string sections of an orchestra tune up before a performance, is a critical component of transferring information from one part to another — the building block of memory.

Not confused at all; that’s why I specified tDCS, idiot. Max 2 ma. Trained as neuroscientist.

Get, have you looked into emf anti-radiation/chaos devices? I happened on emf harmony and am curious.
Not get but gw

Dang it
The tDCS is pulsed, not oscillated like AC counterpart.
How many watts?
Never did that. What was it like? Did you have to pee after?
I have got to close to weed burners fencers though. Just dam!
No, I haven’t.
My My a little butt hurt are we. Did you ever succeed.?
You shouldn’t have expressed it in HZ.

” In many ways tACS is similar to tDCS as a neuromodulatory technique, but instead of applying a direct electrical current, tACS oscillates a sinusoidal current at a chosen frequency to interact with the brain’s natural cortical oscillations. Generally, a large electrode is placed over an area of interest which applies stimulation while a reference electrode is placed in a neutral location. When a single, low frequency (< 100 Hz) frequency is applied the exogenous oscillation can synchronize with the brain’s endogenous frequency.
We do agree <= 2 ma is a safe max.
As I recall it brought tear to my eyes and I kneeled and said a prayer. Then wiped that out cursing Wayne. But I have a great memory for old stuff. As a recommendation for others I’d not recommend this treatment. Some 💩needs to be forgotten. 😜
Reached in to do something and accidentally touch the plug.
Them magnetos are hot.
Yes. Go use your neighbors fence right now.
