Savant for a day - transcranial magentic stimulator

[Mega [Andreas Stuermer]]

I know, this is more diy transhumanism than diy bio, but I'm wondering if there is someone capable of building such a device.

I read about this like many years ago. 

Recently, it came to my mind again. 

I mean, the limiting factor of me isn't brainpower yet, but rather the money. However, boosting brainpower still sounds nice.

The effect is just temporar though, but that may also be the good thing about it. 

Btw, it would give a good kickstarter, just sayin' :D

maybe this sort of thing would cause a person to act in ways that are not good for them...dillusional perhaps?

just sayin

Sure. but also living near a highway for years can damage your brain.
And the effects are just temporary, being present for hours.

Of course, it's up to everybody himself evaluating whether the risks are worth the benefits
