Things that make people successful: natural ability, focus, drive, and hard work, are all things that are kind of tough to come by if you're lazy and untalented. If only there was a way to become a motivated genius without having to get off the couch! I don't think that's asking for too much, do you?
Well, if this "thinking cap" becomes a reality, your dreams will be answered. Using a magnetic coil to send juice to portions of the left side of the brain, researchers claim that they can turn anyone into a savant, improving memory and creativity by incredible amounts. The technique is known as transcranial magnetic simulation, and I look forward to the day when we'll all be wearing them at the office, getting our brains zapped so we can do our jobs more efficiently. The future!

Sounds like those detoxifying foot pads to me... Aren't you guys usually better at pointing out pseudo science?

I'm sorry, but aren't some people still worried about the magnetic fields from cell phones and electric wires giving people cancer? So, you'll strap an electromagnet to your head? Sounds like a winner. If this is the level of thinking you get from it, seems like a dud.

not "transcranial magnetic simulation," but "transcranial magnetic stimulation."
