I used it again yesterday after a long time. I do not use it too often because I have other methods to achieve the same effect using the mental techniques. I use it only if there is headache and it is too difficult to concentrate to mental techniques.

Effect very depends on start state mostly on levels of stress hormons in the body.Here some early tests http://brmlab.cz/project/brain_hacking/tdcs (part tests) I planed to do more test (i made aroud 50 , but the dont documted),currently working on other projects but plans to come back and improve it (mostly the electrode position and current density).

-------- If you want to use higher current use 2x9V baterry ,there must be enough volts to equalize the resistance changes. ( resitence electodes+head is about 2-5kOhm)

i read many papers and not seizures report i supouse tah is becsuse AC in pulsed or AC stimulation (pulsed-tDCS,CES) it maybe diffrent

in some NASA research use 5mA

mental techniques there i using have the same effect like tDCS , but echniques requre trening and more time.For me is betst way combination of tDCS and this techniques , depennd of specific situation.

i get from LM317 min 0,7mA and not get lower

different types (small,large case) of LM317 havemaybe different parametrs

maybe yes overstlimulation can boost data procesing in brain in extreme cases start hyperasociative states where is conect information than not normali linked.

there is only small border between geniality(new ideas) and madnes

i iknow tDCS about 4years and test it about 3 , but eraly test it vas only 9volt batery , potentiomether(I must regulate current manualy) and 2 electrode from watch cover

for me is effect noticable after 6hours most powerfull is hour after aplicaton

1 stuty found residual effect after month

for 1mA 35cm2 50uA/cm2 i use 30 min (L-DLPFC and right orbital)

for 2mA 9cm2 in higher current density work much faster efect is precivable after few second (aplication 3min) bud ther is a problem - skin iritation and is little itchi (early expediments) in publication is recomandet current density under 60uA/cm there was much more but still under tishue damge limit
