They probably haven't tried it because if you try something that you aren't completely sure of, you might mess up somebody's brain. People do make mistakes and the more complex, the more trouble it brings.

I am not sure I understand your statement.

The company has been around for some time
tDCS has also been around for some time and is actually not complicated at all and there are several DIY projects: http://www.diytdcs.com/ although they are not as polished as the focus device.

I guess... Then why isn't there many people trying it?

I think people are just freaked about putting current through their brains.

There has been alot of research done with Drone pilots and learning which is quite interesting.

Quote

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of neurostimulation which uses constant, low current delivered directly to the brain area of interest via small electrodes. tDCS was originally developed to help patients with brain injuries such as strokes. Tests on healthy adults demonstrated that tDCS can increase cognitive performance on a variety of tasks, depending on the area of the brain being stimulated. tDCS has been utilized to enhance language and mathematical ability, attention span, problem solving, memory, and coordination.

Has anyone tried it ?
What are your thoughts on it ?
