DIY Kit Overclocks Your Brain With Direct Current

[Carmody]

Been meaning to post this one, for quite some time. Just remembered it...so here it is:

An FYI, not a recommendation. But I do have a nerve stimulation kit that I could re-apply to this...did curiosity fry the cat's noggin?

"Transcranial direct current stimulation works, and you can try it at home.

It turns out that one of the ways you can speed up a microprocessor -- shoving more current into it -- also works on the human brain. The technique is called transcranial direct current stimulation, and while bioethicists are debating whether or not it's ethical to use it to enhance learning in children, hobbyists have figured out how to try it out at home. Think of it as the new Adderall -- without, apparently, the side effects."

Hi Carmody, interesting! considering the Human body is surrounded by a magnetic field.

hope it becomes mainstream

Thankyou

This forum is full of bright people with strong, educated opinions. I'm just another guy, so my words are only worth what they are at face value. I fully acknowledge that I am a young guy with not a lot of unique information. But I try, and here it is:

I just ask you all to be easy before buying equipment such as this. It sounds like a beautiful idea, but please be careful. Please don't become impressed by 'tech talk.' Understand you only have that one brain and if you start toying with it you may not be so lucid anymore. Everyone knows drugs can mess it up but that's not all.

We all have a responsibility here. We all are part of 'that community'. Everyone looks at us like we are the crazies because of our open mindness. One of our strengths is our voice - our powerful sense of logic and reason. We need our brain for this. It is easily affected; lack of sleep alone will literally drive you insane over the years (read about this, don't take my word for it). Even your inflammation-causing diet can make you crazy by the time you are in your early retirement years. This drives me up the god damn wall cause my family won't accept these basic scientific facts. Guess who is going to have to take care of their crazy parents??? This seriously bothers me almost daily.

All I'm saying is 'normal' things are causing significant health problems these days. It's 'normal' to take drugs for high blood pressure and continue eating the **** that got you there in the first place. It's 'normal' to take anti depressants and live a stressful life that got you there in the first place. I could keep going. These things will put you in the grave early.

So when any any any any any any company claims to create a product to help you then you should be wary. Profit comes first and you created this market. You, me, and Avalon. They researched the market and found out where to make a dollar. Do we not learn from all the jackasses like that dude that just got arrested? They are all sharks.

Thanks Carmody, Im on the list! Hope its not too far away

Hi strat, all words & ideas are valuable to this forum, your words show sound reasoning!!

but in "the age of B/S we all hope for a miracle!!"

Well, this also, as a bit of information pondered can go...it makes some things perfectly clear. (after logical deduction and reduction)

You are what you eat.

powerfully so.

Our bodies are electro-chemcial in nature.

Thus no processed foods with chemicals in them - the chemicals interfere in form and function. Seriously and powerfully so.

Our cravings that we suffer for these processed foods, are cravings of the body, cravings for the more correct foods and chemicals that the body THOUGHT (felt) it knew were entering the system. Processed foods, like the 4000-5000 different additives in US made cigarettes, are all about fooling the body into thinking like this and creating an animal like enforced addiction.

And addiction is a thing where the body is literally crying like a lost child (it has not a conscious state, it perceives through the senses but has no 'mind') for it's mommy and will not stop until that comfort, that perceived necessity in input, is reached.

Having the body operate properly..requires, absolutely requires....Natural, clean foods, organically grown, no preservatives, nothing. Just the food, cleanly grown. The soils used need to have the proper elemental mix,and then it works. Thus things like "azomite" added to soil to replenish the element mix. THEN you get what you need -from your food.

Cranial stimulation is something I'm curious about, as it can possibly cause pathways in the mind to be re-inforced or established, but is at a good thing? I'm not so sure about that....as it is a forced situation.

The scalar effects of astrological geometrical vibrational patterns -- are quite strong already, thank you very much. Think of the aspects of 'the god helmet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_helmet)'.

Also, search for the god helmet on the forum, and you will find much musing on that subject.

The issue, the potential issue, is one where the wiring of the mind, is a scalar 3-d antennae with multiple axis and multiple orientation and multiple function aspects. it is not just a processing network..in 3d. it is an antenna on the dimensional level, in multiple ways and in multiple regions of the network.

Thus, it is important to understand that to stimulate it with what is equivalent to a hammer being used on a CPU to shape it into something else..is very very likely to be as ridiculous as it can get. Foolish beyond belief.

You've got a delicate hand built, hand made instrument that is your neural network.

beating it with a hammer to TRY to attempt one thing, hopefully can be seen as being --quite foolish.

I'm saying, by the creation of the thread, to look at this, see where it goes, but don't expect much of it other than being something like a blowtorch being used on paper, while trying to write a book.

one of the training methods used by a nei gong group in china who's practitioners can create the electric current as seen in the john chang videos, hook themselves up to batteries and gradually increase the power over time. If done skillfully it increases the capacity to hold chi.

i experimented with these methods a few years back, and went out and bought a Russian stimulator with a higher voltage capacity than the American units. I found it to be somewhat interesting but not the most practical or efficient way to build up chi, as it burns off the yin chi. If you decide to use any of these electrical devices for brain stimulation, stay as hydrated as possible.

electrical currents dont have a big effect on the higher dimensional bodies, Electrical current primarily effects the etheric body, and only has a Sympathetic effect on the higher bodies. strong Magnets however, have a more direct effect on the astral body, and sometimes in a detrimental way. The magnets you can buy in your local hardware store have very little effect at all.

Please don't become impressed by 'tech talk.' Understand you only have that one brain and if you start toying with it you may not be so lucid anymore. Everyone knows drugs can mess it up but that's not all.

I find this collection of words deliciously ironic.

Not quite sure what you mean by "tech talk" this is an interesting use of low voltage electricity, but not what I would consider a "tech talk" item / topic.

You caution care when toying with your one brain & yet we know so little of what we do with our bodies how can a statement like this be said with any hope of dodging hypocrisy... this statement seems to infer that absolute knowledge on this subjects exists and that one should leverage it (well it doesn't, as far as I am aware, exist).

"everyone knows drugs can mess it up".... Really? do we "know" that? I've found quite the opposite to be the case for a lot of substances that I was previously told would make me stupid &/or insane (haha).

I understand where your coming from but "basic scientific facts" do not, nor will ever, exist.. science strives to prove itself wrong at every turn & only labels something a "fact" once it has run out of ways to try and prove itself wrong... thus the world can be "flat" for centuries before its commonly accepted to be a globe.

In a world where "knowledge" is thought to be held by everyone there is no room for new ideas and concepts; nothing kills learning and growth motivation as fast as "knowledge" does.

There really is no product being offered here, more an example of a technique that has statistically relevant results.



I got on the mailing list for the tDCS kit, wouldn't mind doing a bit of body hacking (hell I'm already drinking my own Urine... might as well shock myself a bit too eh?)

Caution! Investigational Device. Federal (or United States) law limits device to investigational use.

We designed the GoFlow β1 to be the simplest, safest, easiest to build, transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) device possible This tDCS kit can be assembled and configured in half an hour. This is the first ever standardized tDCS kit, and we are incredibly excited to share it with you all. Our design does everything possible to allow for safe consistent experimenting with tDCS. The kit is crazy easy to assemble, no soldering or burnt fingers required! The kit is not yet released, but we have shared our schematic so you can build your own.

Features:
Small & portable (Approximately 3" long and less than an inch wide)
5mA safety fuse to limit device in case of malfunction
4 output options (.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2mA)
Gradual current ramp-up from 0.0mA to desired setting
High quality reusable sponge electrodes

I find this a very interesting topic and look forward to more input. I have "Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy". That happens to be the region of the brain that determines right and wrong, and responsible for much of the EEG activity shows where we experience Paranormal and Religious Experiences and how they are perceived and processed. I am going to pull some info gathered about this region of the brain and related to this topic and will post it ASAP.

[DeDukshyn]

That sounds so cool, but so wrong at the same time ;)
