I'm still reading this recent bulletin article about tDCS - turning that journalist into a sharpshooter and after seeing this: "She said those people have this overactive angry cortex guy just sitting there. When you apply the electric field, it shuts him right up and those people find that their depressive symptoms are alleviated." definitely want to look further into consumer tDCS devices. Presently I've been trying to fix myself by jogging more and drinking less. https://thebulletin.org/2023/05/qa-how-darpa-hacked-a-scienc...

The only reason I have nothing good to say about tDCS for depression is that they still do not know how it works and what they are targeting are if there are any repercussions.

tDCS seems to boost gamma brain waves. That is pretty much where I live according to an the last time I was tested.
