Being a cyborg

the latest Atlantic has an interesting article on tDCS: Transcranial direct current stimulation where DARPA has been conducting experiments in placing a small voltage directly to the scalp (on scalp not under skin). Even a 9 volt battery with just 2 mA current has had fairly dramatic results.

They find that learning can increase by 10 to 20% and the effect lingers for at least a day. Perception wise , volunteers have had a doubling in the speed and perception making it of interest for military sensors.

Kinda cool, they think it will have benefits for stroke victims, epilepsy, etc..
