What would you do if you were limitless? Maarten Frens at TEDxDelft

- Imagine if you were able to be the best at whatever you wanted! Be it mastering a language, working out complicated mathematical equations, or being able to paint with the skills of van Gogh or Rembrandt -- it's all attainable.
It wouldn't be surprising if you thought that this was an introduction to a Tel Sell commercial playing in the background of sci-fi movie -- but it may in fact be possible in the very near future.
At TEDxDelft 2013, the world-renowned brain-professor dr. Maarten Frens shares his expertise and experiences with Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS); a ground-breaking technique that could enable us to be, well... Limitless. In short, tDCS is a form of neurostimulation which uses constant, low current delivered directly to certain brain areas of interest.
As an authority in the field of "brain enhancement", Maarten used double-blind experiments, meaning neither the person carrying out the experiment nor the subject knew that they were being stimulated. Thanks to his research and findings Maarten has gotten to the bottom of so called "electrical doping". At TEDxDelft Maarten will share all his fascinating findings and unveil if we have a smarter, stronger, faster and more creative future ahead of us.
So could we see a future where athletes get caught with using tDCS to enhance their talents at the 2016 Olympics? Or where students take cheating to an entirely new level?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) - Наука та технологія
I guess I'm not the only person to notice that he doesn't say much about tDCS. I'm willing to bet neither he nor TED want to turn people on to it because of the potential liability involved. It's too bad for those who don't do the research because tDCS seems to be a safe, inexpensive enhancement, improving cognition and function at much higher levels than Frens was willing to admit.
tDCS researchers are also not happy with the proliferation of DIY communities, because it reflects poorly on the rigour of what they do and potential accidents could harm the reputation of their work. Some of the self-experimenters out there are none too bright (ironically).

Can't believe this was 2013. The tDCS devices available now are ample. Only a few people know about it / even have one
Saliva sounds so distracting! Maybe I need a tDCS device to help me focus ;)
They need a protocol to determine the correct distance to put the microphone from someone's mouth :)
Mary T other people typing is the worse for me
How to be limitless? Apparently normal people are already limitless.
i love you all. thats the nicest comment i can think of. my opinion on the subject does not apply as i dont want to trigger anyone by saying anything stupid. i hope that i have not already done this but, i did my best. i hope anyone reading this can be able to have a good day on a peacefull level.
This talk had almost no content about tDCS. I don't get how this was a TED Talk
liability reasons. TED is a pretty rigid institution. And they are a for-profit organization.
Exactly. TED has seriously lost its edge.
babolatpdtp, seriously??
I wish TEDx talks about vaccines and chemotherapy, too. That should be very interesting.
I liked this talk just fine. alot of people have said they didn't.
Well I didn't hear much about electrical doping in the Olympics, just the regular one about the russian athletes.
Ted talks like these just disappoint me. It's very hard to find information about these devices. The most helpful thing I found was the radiolab podcast that discuses this topic.
+DivineMinds.org thx for pointing out. www.radiolab.org/story/9-volt-nirvana/
+DVMD haha yeah Radiolab brought me here too
WARNING: I burned a dime size hole through my scalp today with only 8 aa batteries and eeg pads. This is dangerous! In the past, I used sponges soaked in saltwater and only 3 aaa batteries - and was not burned. Be careful! I may have permanent scarring now - at best! Don't make the same mistake I made.

What is the point???
Assaf Wodeslavsky iluminati lol.
they should uses pulse direct current with resonance frequency in area of the brain instead then direct current I bet genius like tesla would use pulse vs D.C.
How tо booooost your brain power in 14 dаys => twitter.com/380ae3e0665a7c714/status/804578733948444672 Whаt would you do if yоu werеee limitless Maааaаrten Frens at ТЕDxDeeеlft
Isibor Omwanghe how would you find the resonance frequency specific to the brain area?
+Kyle A that electronic device that put on his head is Transcranial direct current stimulation ( tDCS) device or muscle stimulater device the only way can think find resonance build by hand with capacitor, wire , resistors , and ext. you also decided which wave form work best sine wave square wave or complex form likely called differential wave. The main organ you want to resonance is pineal gland that than balance to hemeisphere to work in harmonic way
Isibor Omwanghe yes I know. but how would you find the resonant frequency of the pineal gland or any other area in the brain or body? if we can figure out a reasonable easy way to do that, then whole new Vistas will open up...

tDCS is absolutely insane. It's like throwing hand grenades at the bottom of a pit, throw the grenade in any direction and you might end up as toast. You have the possibility to destroy everything that is you, your memories, your personalty, your whole life. Russian roulette with electricity is what it is.
impressive how the neurology community is so backwards... they could be using this stimulation tech to help a lot of ppl yet... they aren't
Scared, overpaid pussies.
I don't like his evolution assumption that we are already sorta perfect for things such as studying. I disagree, the ability to study and learn at such a rate is a very VERY recent biological process.
So what's happening to all advocates for this?
Rehashed material
0:42 he touched his nose right after he said that. That's it. I'm not watching any more of this video. This guy is a liar.
Yeah, either that or his nose itched.
waste of time nothing about tDCS
James Bond talking.
is this snake oil ?
