I said that I'd be using this blog for recording my brain training. It's not that I forgot to record it; it's that I stopped altogether. Period. This semester was so busy, I couldn't even take time to do that.
So, I shall get back to brain training. In the meantime, let's focus on what really matters: biohacking. Currently, what I'm doing is building a device designed to send 2 mA of current through my brain. Yes, you read that correctly. The point is to engage certain brain states: in this case, a state called flow. More on that later, though. In the meantime, here's a video I recently did on the subject, where I showed my crappy prototype. I have a much better design now than I did then. Basically, I'm done; I've got almost all the code finalized, the entire schematics written, etc. All I need now are the parts that I shall use to build the device. That shall happen soon.

Are you looking to find a way to embed this, almost like the magnets? I know that's probably still far in the future, but it would be a very interesting project.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the eventual hope. It would probably at least a couple decades off, though.
DeleteWhat exactly does the programming entail? Assembly language on a microcontroller? I'd like to see some raw data from a tDCS device: mental arithmetic, memory, etc. I've read bits and pieces but have never seen some actual statistics to back it up. Any papers on this "flow" state, either? Good luck.
