I spent 26 years mastering the guitar. And getting all the good gigs because of it. I don’t want just any schmuck to just go to bed and wake up better than me
I feel the same way about my penis. 49 years of mastery... I would hate it if a woman suddenly showed up, and played it better than me.
I'd certainly keep her around for awhile, though...
Had to flag the thread just to get that off our chests and save the
masterful endeavors for as many as possible.
I need a pilot module for an Apache and several small weapons...
like a 7.62 Vulcan and some plastic surgery too, couldn't hurt at
MY age.
With all the rest of that garbage cluttering things upstairs in recent
years: it probably wouldn't profit anyone to relocate or modify any-
thing political for SURE. I mean why try to reeducate a dried flatworm
into a Trotskyite ...but there's a good chance I repeat myself.
But it gets worse. The Telegraph reports that the tDCS was effective – it made people learn 33% better on a flight simulator task. Wow! But it didn’t. tDCS had no effect on mean performance on any of the five performance indicators on the flight sim task. The only significant result was that on some of the metrics, stimulation was associated with significantly reduced between-subject variance, i.e. it made people more similar to one another (but not better on average). The authors conclude:
The observed reduction in group variability in online learning may be attributed to “convergence to the mean” (i.e., increasing online learning rates of low performing individuals and reducing online learning rates of high performing individuals).
As a contributing author of the original paper, I would like to thank you for your post. Your understanding of our paper is much more appropriate to what we did than what the telegraph article portrayed. I believe it is exciting work, but only a start. Much more work into tDCS needs to be done for a better understanding of what is occurring and what the implications are.

I'm not sure how relevant this will be to sports exactly. You would still need to train your body and develop muscle memory, etc.

The article from HRL Laboratories. The brains behind it all.

Interesting results and as such I can't go for that because scholatically-speaking I am a high achiever, because I like a challenge.

I know what you mean. I'm the same way. I'm not particularly interested in any system that degrades my ability to learn.
However, their latest research seems like it may be more applicable to a wider audience.

RL Laboratories, LLC, in collaboration with University of New Mexico (UNM), have published the first study showing that transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) of the brain during sleep increases human subjects’ ability to accurately assess hidden targets in novel visual scenes. The new “closed-loop” method effectively reduces the typical overnight drop in performance for novel scenes by about 48%. “This technique is for accelerating learning, memory, and skill acquisition,” said Dr. Praveen Pilly, HRL’s principal investigator and last author on the study. “The processes we affected with noninvasive electrical stimulation are slow-wave oscillations of the brain’s electrical field that occur during non-REM sleep stages 2 and 3. We tracked ongoing oscillations and applied tACS that matched their frequency and phase in the slow-wave oscillation band. This matching is what we mean by a closed-loop system. The technique is unique to HRL, and although others have speculated on the concept, we are the first to publish results on a closed-loop slow-wave tACS system.”

I think we all knew this or something like this was just a matter of time. It's the Matrix live and in stereo.
