Having problems with message search?
I wonder if anyone else has ever used a magnetic device called the
Thinking Cap. I bought one about a month ago, from hhgross.com and I
have had good results. I'd like to hear from anyone else who's tried
it. The idea is to stimulate the right side of the brain for creative
stuff and the left side for memory, logic, and so on. The price is
reasonable (under $25), the magnets are very strong, and a bonus is
that you can use them for physical therapy, too. They include a
booklet showing how. Please share any results you may have had. This
thing seems to really work (it's based on legitimate TMS research -
transcranial
magnetic stimulation).
Hi Harry,
TMS uses pulsed fields, and there is a lot of controversy over whether 'static' magnets can emulate pulsed fields. The mechanism may not be the same as that used in TMS.
You did not say whether the magnets were N, S, or multipolar. I know of a multipolar magnet being used to stop a migraine attack from developing by holding the magnet to the back of the head.
One theory is that the magnets allow the blood to carry more oxygen to the brain, which may be sufficient to produce the 'better thinking' effect.
Best wishes
