Agreed. There are too many various electrodes, machines and protocols for the same applications. It would be interesting to see a study that incorporates readings of neurotransmitters, MRI & EEG prior to and post tDCS application over a longer period.

I also think the chief science officer of Thync was avoiding making any medical claims as tDCS is yet to be FDA approved.

It will be particularly interesting to see if Thync tries to get studies from third parties. It looks like tDCS hasn't been solidly proven or disproven, so it will be exciting if this gets more researchers to look into the effectiveness of tDCS.
