tDCS has taken the world of neuroscience by storm. Scientists have started experimenting with the notion that a low electrical current passing through the skull can enhance the cognitive powers of an individual. Though the idea of zapping the brain to help individuals is not a new one (the experiments have been conducted for a couple of decades now), the notion that using tDCS for healthy individuals to enhance their working memory, heighten concentration and improve their cognitive powers is a completely new one. It has made such hype in the world of science that many scientists have taken upon themselves to prove that it works.

Your own DIY tDCS device? Many of our readers have told us that they’ve found resources online with the electrical schematics to build their own transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS device for around $20-$25 in materials. Ultimately, they ask us if we would recommend this method to get started on the cheap..
