The headset, which recently passed FCC certification but has yet to receive the approval of the FDA, sits on the forehead for five to 10 minutes and uses transcranial direct-current simulation — a low current of small electrodes — to stimulate the front part of the brain, or the prefrontal cortex. According to the product's website, the gentle dose of electrodes may improve cognitive functions and short-term memory. The shocks are said to "overclock" the brain and help neurons fire faster, helping gamers process those lightning-fast mid-combat decisions and pushing them to pull the trigger or attain their goal more efficiently.

Anyway, looks sketchy. If it did what it claimed, the armed forces would already be all over this technology.

I mean it probably shocks your head more awake.
But who knows, technology these days is fucking insane. Maybe the future of this world is videogamers with special headsets.

It is the year 2065. After buying out the Foc.us company in 2014, Apple proceeded to utilize the Foc.us headset for a variety of functions with iOS systems. Soon, Apple's true nature came to light, and before anyone knew it, Earth as we knew it became iEarth. Poor citizens were forced to attend The iChurch of Steve Jobs and pay ridiculous iTaxes or face immediate death by the shockwaves produced by the Foc.us headset that was fused to each citizen's head.
A ray of light shines in these dismal times, however. Richard Stallman, now GNU+Stallman after fusing with an array of servers to become the first cloud intelligence, has transformed the Free Software Foundation into the Free Software Liberation Force. With his rag-tag band of open-source programmers and the remains of Microsoft, it is up to GNU+Stallman and the FSLF to save the world from the iAxis of Evil!
"Excuse me, but I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as my foot in your ass is actually GNU+my foot in your ass"

anjirocooli wouldn't trust any product that pumps electricity into my head and can only be controlled via iPhone
Your foc.us headset can be controlled manually using the touch sensor but to unlock and unleash the power you can connect via Bluetooth 4.0 from a compatible mobile device.
so you don't HAVE to use an iphone but you can if you want i guess

Do you think wearing this contraption would make you look as douchey as a bluetooth?
I don't think anything makes you look like a douche more than a bluetooth.

It's not that surprising, things like Electroconvulsive Therapy have been around for a long time and are very consistent/helpful.
At the same time, I'd rather not be the first generation to test it out.

Can we just let Google own this company? Aren't they already taking over the world along with Valve by its side? Pretty sure we'll be able to be like Neo and fucking dodge bullets and fly in no time.

Yet another mode through which we can achieve some sort of hyper-human ability.
Drugs, brain stimulation, and soon electrodes in our brains.
It's happening. We are going to stop being human.
And I'm voicing my concerns with this world on a TF2 forum. Good shit.
