Jumper Cables for the Mind

A little tDCS in the morning instead of caffeine and you'll be good to go. When is your stroke hospital going to implement this? I'm sure enhanced patients will recover better.

Jumper Cables for the Mind


One paragraph from the link.
Scientific papers published in leading peer-reviewed journals since 2005 have shown that tDCS can improve the speed or accuracy with which people perform this attention-switching task. Other studies have found it can improve everything from working memory to long-term memory, math calculations, reading ability, solving difficult problems, piano playing, complex verbal thought, planning, visual memory, the ability to categorize, the capacity for insight, post-stroke paralysis and aphasia, chronic pain and even depression. Effects have been shown to last for weeks or months.
