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..

You’ve probably read a myriad of articles telling you just how important goal setting is. Thousands upon thousands of highly successful people swear by it. Probably, you’ve already tried it numerous times.  You do the whole clearly-define-your-goals thing, you set up a detailed plan, incorporate all the milestones and rewards in it and still something goes wrong.  So now what?

With the tDCS anode placed on the back upper head and the tDCS cathode on the left side at the same position, this montage increases the sense of empathy that the user has for other people. This montage is in perfect sync with Loving Kindness Meditation, aka Metta, the aim of which is to send positive thoughts and vibrations towards three people that the individual practicing meditation has contact:  a close person, a neutral one and one that they have had a conflict with.

These tDCS montages are just an example of...

Knowing what tDCS can do for our creativity, the question arises whether we should use tDCS devices, such as TheBrainDriver, regularly and on our own in order to improve our creativity?

Our brains are rather complex working machines that though fixed in certain aspects can be upgraded from time to time. The new upgrade comes in a form of tDCS, or transcranial direct current stimulation, a scientific method that stimulates the brain, which is a core aspect of our intelligence, with a low-level electrical current.
