According to this, the effects of tDCS are lasting, and probably are a great way to begin enjoying a lifetime of painful migranes.
I am not referring to electroshock therapy to treat depression. In the article in New Scientist they use very low intensity voltage and amperage. Anyway, not that I think I will be trying this on me anytime soon, I just thought it was interesting :)
Fabrice, I have sent you an email regarding this interesting observation you made some years ago in the newscientist journal (It sounds crazy, but there is significant evidence that passing a weak current through your brain can significantly increase your cognitive abilities and alertness)
Jean: Do you do it?
Fabrice, do you mean do I do brainpod stimulation? ;-) or did you mean to ask if I have sent you an email? Answer is yes to both but I am not sure if I have the right email address?
