Are there any configurations to improve sexual function?
Not that I’m aware of, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you get a few answers on the tDCS subReddit https://www.reddit.com/r/tDCS/
are there any configurations to improve PTSD
Most ‘improvements’ remain speculative or inconclusive due to conflicting results. But have a look on the /r/tdcs subreddit for clues… https://www.reddit.com/r/tDCS/search?q=ptsd&restrict_sr=on&sort=relevance&t=all
What are the anode/cathode arrangements or possible montages on the Thync device? Any intel on that yet?
I don’t have one. It’s not exactly tDCS so probably will need to revise understanding of their device. More here: https://www.diytdcs.com/2015/02/how-the-first-brain-altering-wearable-is-being-tested-thedailydot/ and here: https://www.diytdcs.com/2015/05/therapy-borne-on-electrical-currents-nytimes-com/
Found something at https://www.google.com/patents/US8903494?dq=thync&hl=en&sa=X
When there, search for “anode” and “cathode”.
That’s a great find! Will have to dig in there. Are you on the tDCS subReddit I bet they’d enjoy that. https://www.reddit.com/r/tDCS/

I didn’t see anything in it about verbal impairment.
