Thanks. What are all the vodoo:// links?


A great way to increase working memory is dual n-back tasks. I personally do dual n-back every day while using a tdcs device and have noticed a significant increase in working memory and many cognitive tasks (mental math, symbolic math, and programming).


Which montage do you use and for how long?


Anode on FP1 (above left eye) and cathode on right shoulder. I also some times play video games using the Darpa accelerated learning montage: anode F10 (left temple) and cathode on right shoulder.

In my experience the Darpa montage isn’t as generalized as people think: it mainly works for tasks that requite quick reaction times and processing of visual information. Basically anything related to video games. The difference between my performance with CSGO and Overwatch with and without tdcs is pretty astonishing. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next 3-5 years it will become standard training for esports professionals.


What tdcs device?


The Brain Driver V2. On Amazon for ~$150.
