Watch this woman electroshock her brain to see if it makes her smarter
Don't try this at home, but people all over the Internet are discussing a technique that involves shocking their brains to make themselves smarter.
The long name for it, and I mean long, is Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, or TDCS. It basically argues that sending electric stimuli to your brain can function as a neurostimulant. The technique is used to help patients recover from strokes or injuries and it is believed to increase the cognitive performance of the individual.
