Zapping Your Brain To Bliss

Note to Self | Mar 1, 2017

At Manoush’s house, there’s an object the size of a big potato chip. Which she stuck to her forehead, and used to zap her brain.

This brain stimulation is supposed to calm you down. Maybe replace a glass of wine, just wind you down a little. But it turns out you can wind down a little too far. Too far to ask coherent questions of scientists you’re interviewing.

In this repeat episode, hear what it sounds like when the high-octane Note to Self crew chills waaaay out.

P.S. Looking for the study we mentioned? Thync’s research is all here.
