tDCS - zapping your Brain for Fun and Profit
WTF?
tDCS wikipedia is basically applying a dc current across your skull. This is said to increase learning and reduce depression etc. if done right. Searching around on the internet (especially the subreddit) shows that building a tDCS device is actually simple - all you need is a battery and a L334M current stabilizing IC (and some resistors). Put this together with some sponge electrodes (can be constructed easily at least according to a source below) and you'll be able to stimulate your own brain.
Better learning/thinking, less depression by electricity across your brain? Sounds awesome! Let's do it because:
"Few things make you feel more irresponsible than relying on a subreddit for information on zapping your brain."[1]
There's a growing DIY community around tDCS - time to join in.

User:Mihi has ordered some parts to play with tDCS --Mihi (Diskussion) 00:15, 12. Dez. 2013 (CET)
Parts have Arrived, unpacked and put in my box - was hacking campaigns not brains that night.... --Mihi (Diskussion) 09:13, 19. Dez. 2013 (CET)
