Could you be so kind as to point us in the direction of this "good
science" -- i.e., something other than conjecture.

Ergo I am taking the lead in testing this device. If you have
something to contribute, fine. If not, I suggest you ignore this
thread and all posts with my name on them, because this is Usenet and
I pay for my access just as you do, and I will post in
bionet.neuroscience as I see fit.
