The moment they mention left&#x2F;right brain, lost credibility. How long does this myth have to be debunked before it catches up with the mainstream?

Pseudoscientific rubbish. The conclusion is entirely based on the assumption that there wouldn&#x27;t have been any progress in the n-back task without brain stimulation and that is 1. pure speculation, 2. implausible because practice usually makes you better at a task. Also: placebo. The general idea that we can &quot;unlock&quot; more brain power by simply applying electrical currents to the brain is utterly silly.

But what are the long-term effects of active systems like tDCS? Anyone know?

I know of an open source developer who has written some extremely complicated kernel code and credits his success to personal tDCS experiments.<p>I still think we need more data on this.
