Want to Be More Creative? Can We Try tDCS?

(2/13/2013) Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of neurostimulation which uses constant, low current delivered directly to the brain area of interest via small electrodes (cite from Wikipedia. One researcher (see around 37:00 in "Through the Wormhole") finds that by stimulating medial temporal lobe with tDCS will help military trainees increase the accuracy of detecting suspicious objects. So can we make ourselves being more creative with tDCS kit too?

There are some videos on youtube teaching you how to make tDCS kit and sever commercial tDCS kits are also available online (like this one). But to be safe, you probably want experts to guide if you really want to try. Read this article first.
