That’s what Jared Seehafer did. He’s a 28-year-old medical device consultant in San Francisco who heads the group.
He made his own tDCS machine using an elastic headband and a couple of electrodes. It’s powered by a 9-volt battery and produces 1 to 2 milliamps of electricity, approximately what it takes to light one small LED bulb.

Didn’t he put the anode and cathode wrong? I can’t find that good information where to put the electrodes. I put my 1.5mA tdcs device anode on left temple, cathode 2cm above right eyebrow.
Assuming the red lead is positive, I’d agree with you.
