They promote their peer-reviewed clinical trial in the header area. However, the spelling mistake 'Tial' should be fixed asap :)
Maybe you can tell him that and also tell him that I am quite interested in the device to check if it can reduce my heart palpitations!
I know that there is a lot of research going into transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
For some diseases it has been shown to be effective. However, for ADHD - as far as i can see - the studies don't agree and it is preliminary for any conclusions [1].
From [1]: Finally, a PubMed search (keywords: tDCS AND attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) identified 24 papers, including 2 original clinical studies (single-session studies) and 80 patients. One study (60 patients) did not find significant differences between active and sham tDCS regarding the effect of bihemispheric tDCS of the DLFPC (left anode + right cathode) on behavioral performance in go/no-go tasks (Cosmo et al., 2015). Conversely, the other study (20 patients) showed that anodal tDCS of the left DLPFC (with right supraorbital cathode) increased the proportion of correct responses in go/no-go tasks, whereas cathodal tDCS of the left DLPFC increased the inhibition accuracy (Soltaninejad et al., 2016). Obviously, reported results are too preliminary to make any recommendation for the use of tDCS in all these psychiatric conditions.

Usually I like reading the HN comment section as it is one of the few places (I know of) where people communicate in a respectful manner. Unfortunately, conjecturing about someones IQ in this manner because his view differs, makes me reconsider this.
I fail to understand how this is affecting you. Do you think that the existence of other App-Stores is reducing the quality of the apps in the Apple-Store?
for me it helps to know that this pandemic (including all the lockdowns) would be way worse without all of the digital innovations from the last 10-20 years.
100% agree. I think what stood out to me the most was that it did explain a lot of the decision making. I feel like often other docs don't explain the decisions that did go into their software at all
if I understand correctly the key benefit would be that models could be trained on smaller datasets and therefore reduce the time spent computing the models?
I am not convinced that this time saving is more than the time spent to engineer the combined and synthesised data.
