In this episode's off-topic section, we discuss tDCS aka Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation aka "9-volt nirvana” and how it relates to flow states before Josh dives into his favorite Metroidvania game Hollow Knight from Team Cherry. Once again, we are not neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, brain researchers or experts on anything really (except Contentology, the self-conjured "study" of content) but we do advocate the responsible self-experimentation of applying electrical currents to your head.
