Neuroscientists' Open Letter To DIY Brain Hackers
RadioLab's 9-Volt Nirvana episode discussed how DARPA uses tCDS to enhance sharp-shooting ability.<p>At the end of the episode, the reporter conveyed a sense of loss when the tCDS system was no longer available to her. She sounded like a drug addict that pines for that feeling of their <i>first high</i> and then risks spending their life in vain trying to recover that feeling.<p>If your life literally depends on a skill and supervised tCDS can improve it, then the reward may outweigh the unknown risks. But for other tasks/skills, it is difficult to justify.<p>Edit: typos, clarity<p><a href="http://www.radiolab.org/story/9-volt-nirvana" rel="nofollow">http://www.radiolab.org/story/9-volt-nirvana</a>
