    In reply to Electrical Shocks to the Brain Slow Down Gamers, May Speed Up Parkinson's Patients
    As near as I can tell from the press releases, this study in fact only shocked healthy volunteers, and found that (surprise surprise), this disrupted performance.

    The bit about 'speeding up' Parkinson's patients seems be a misinterpretation of the author's comments, where they try to argue that their results have implications for Parkinson's patients.

    It's really quite delightful how science journalism tends to turn into a game of Chinese whispers. Dear Giz, I don't ask you to read the actual journal article before blogging on science, but at least check the abstract ([www.cell.com]). It's only 150 words, and makes it abundantly clear that in this case, your headline is overselling the case.

    @idoru: Tiny tweak to headline to sell the case less. Thanks for the response.

    So if nobody is going to make reference to Centurion from the Transformers comics, then I will. Professor morris using Triple I tech, locked himself in a room with the control device and beat the snot out of the decepticons with the robot centurion.


    [transformers.wikia.com])


    no pic of the control unit that I could find, but it looked eerily similar to the ASIMO control seat up there.

    You could just vary the fan speed randomly and no one would be able to tell the difference. People will just come up with all sorts of reasons why they were "thinking harder" at any given time.
