Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation This article from Discover (via Arts and Letters) talks - eventually - about the ability to induce savant-like behavior in normal, healthy adults. Psychology is often short changed as a serious science, but every now and then there is some really mind-blowing, awesome stuff to come out of the field. The article is accompanied by a picture of someone hooked to a transcranial magnetic stimulator. That thing would scare the hell out of me! How safe can it really be to use, "magnetic fields to disrupt neuronal firing"? What if the second or third time you do it, the ol' neurons stay disrupted? Scary, but still cool. p.s. I guess if I were slightly more paranoid, I might worry that the CIA might already be employing TMS against me while I sleep. Well, at least I'd be able to know almost instantly how many sheep there were without having to count them one-by-one. |
