Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.     Instead of more caffeine to help make you more alert…RPW Technology says mild electrical stimulation can do the trick.  It makes a device called Liftid that looks like a pair of goggles that you wear for twenty minutes a day on your forehead…

“There are two electrodes that are in a specific area on the top of the forehead that deal with cognitive benefit.”

Company partner Ken Davidov.  Neurosurgeon Ted Schwartz, also on the team, says the science is real…

“In theory if you’re performing a task where you need to be very focused and very alert, by wearing the device twenty minutes a day, may increase and has been shown in these studies to increase, your alertness and your focus and  attention.”

I’m typically skeptical…but so far so good…in testing it out. Find more at www.getliftid.com.
