Depression treatment reverses “backwards” brain signals...We finally know what magnetic stimulation does to the brains of people with stubborn depression.

Sounds like prepping the marketplace for the next amazing gizmo. Marketing needs “studies,” so that venture capital flows....

Back in my TV Engineer days working at a local ABC affiliate, we had this giant degausser that we used to bulk erase videotape cassettes for reuse.

Whenever I heard someone else say something stupid, I would jokingly turn it on and place my head on it, then give a sigh of relief with my newly erased brain.

Who knew that I was really onto something.

Beer and cigars usually help me.

Twenty-three of the participants underwent an accelerated, highly effective version of TMS — known as “Stanford neuromodulation therapy” — that consists of 10 sessions per day for five days. The others received a sham treatment.

....a sham treatment......

I hope it matched the bedspread and curtains.................

They got covid vaccines?

I got a Brother in law that can tune your cathode ray TV with various types of magnets. He is good! Crystal clear picture.

In my younger days I had many roles on the fire department that I worked for. When staff was short I would be sent to the 911 dispatch center. WE had a limited number of tapes that were used to record 911 calls. After a few months we had to erase them, so this was a daily duty using a degausser probably similar to the one you described. Ours had some type of warning label. I have no idea what it actually said. But it is funny that some people who wear magnets around for some type of perceived health benefit are afraid of other forms of magnetic fields. We had a few people who refused to go near it even when it was off.

Probably something like this:

The Earth is a giant magnetic field.

[NorthMountain]

Ever heard of a “controlled experiment”?

That concept shows up in elementary school science classes ...

[Revel]

In the old days they called this a lobotomy.

[NorthMountain]

Please compare the field strength of Earth’s magnetic field, on the surface, to the field strength of an MRI machine at 10 feet from the aperture.

Yes, that looks vaguely similar. Cousin Eddie and someone with a pacemaker should probably stay away from something with that type of warning label.

[Red Badger]

.....but not in multi-billion dollar mRNA vaccine tests..................

someone with a pacemaker should probably stay away from something with that type of warning label.

Not to mention folks with screws, metal joint replacements, veterans with bullets and other metal bits still in them etc.
