Neurostimulation

We all agree that technology, in the last years, has improved a lot and has created new ways to change our daily routine and make it more comfortable. But technology doesn't is the only one that has had an improvement because science has changed a lot, too. And what can happen if we mix both technology and science? One of the last and more important fields where technology and science have joined forces is the field of neuroscience. And from this union are emerging possibilities like these:

From Londres, foc.us company offers us neurostimulation techiques to improve the score in the games. For example, foc.us gamer headset is developed to improve the work memory and the surveillance. The product consists in a diadem with two electrodes that send small electric shocks to the front of the brain. Foc.us propose an overclock of our brain to improve the speed and the plasticity of the brain and bring the player to anther level. 

But it isn't the only product the foc.us has. They also offer a neurostimulation treatment to electrify our dreams. Lucid dreaming send small waves to the brain's prefrontal cortex (wich is in charge of the higher functions of the brain) to make that the person can have a lucid dream, it means a dream where the person is conscious that he is dreaming and can change the logic of the dream. Lucid dreaming can give us the experience of the improbable, can allow us to solve problems with our subconscious and remember the solutions when we get up and allows us to create and explore without limits. 

But foc.us isn't the only page that is selling this kind of products. From thync.com, we can buy think Vibes. Think Vibes is a small device that is placed on the brow and is connected to adhesive strips that attach to different parts of the head. It depends on where we set it, through an electric shock, think Vibes can make us to feel energy or calm. And only in less than five minutes. 

  

Finally, I would like to talk about another company, PriorMind. This one from Hong Kong gives us the opportunity to improve our cognitive capacities, search our best potential and take the control of our future. The product they sell consists in a little device that creates electric shocks and two sponges which go to different parts of the cranium to stimulate the zone. With PriorMind, we can improve our cognitive sensitive and our ability in mathematics, language and our creativity. 

This is only a little research of some of the applications of neurostimulation. The field of neuroscience is very new and there are still a lot of tings to discover. Thanks to technology neurosciences can advance and can provide us with products like these. All it seems that have to take us very far but at the same time we have to be very careful because we really don't know what we are changing in our brains when we apply any electric shock. It means that the fact that some products of this type are already available fro a general public may seem dangerous. Although they have shown their effectiveness nobody knows about the second side effects or their long term effects.
