Does anyone have direct clinical info about the safety and possible side-effects of using the little Black Boxes that are cuurently for sale that involve TENS, but attaching the electrodes behind the mastoid bone so that the brain gets some signal??? The effect is one of simultaneous relaxation and alertness, much like caffeine (or other alkaloids) without the jitters -- like the mild boost Hydergine gives. I'd be interested in hearing from those with personal and professional experience. I know that similar devices have been used to wean addicts from heroin and cocaine, etc. Thanks. -- Michael Sierchio @ Small Systems Solutions sierch@well.UUCP {pacbell,hplabs,ucbvax,hoptoad}!well!sierch
