I would welcome the ability to give myself a "clearing shock" while waiting at a traffic light, making me a safer driver and a more clear and focused employee.
What is a TENS unit?
You seem wonderfully focused today. You write some really, really smart stuff. Please write some more. Just go to work every now and then.
Regarding pacemakers for the brain (that was one hell of a "brainstorm" you had there), check out vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). I'm sure you'll get a charge out of it.
