Can a Jolt Of Electricity Make You Smarter?

This morning that's the headline in the MSN page when I signed out of hotmail. DC polarization and transcranial magnetic stimulation are discussed.



I got shocked a lot when I was a kid, playing around with the All American 5-tube radios, etc. Maybe that's why I'm so smart! ;-)

Must have been the wrong polarity :-)

sure it will make you smarter!, i bet you didn't even notice that you try to avoid getting shocked more and more as the events took place!, see you learned something so it must work! :)_

What they are describing is a very different type of way of applying electricity to the brain. Having a direct shock from the hands from them being in the wrong place at the wrong time, is not the same at all, as what they are describing that article. Having an electric shock under non controlled conditions can infact induce problems that are similar to Parkinson's disease and other complications later in life.

I was just thinking the same thing, it does make u smarter, not do do it again! (but dont account for 100% of people however)
