    I note that you reported this post as “wild misinfomation”. Now I’m totally ignorant on the topic, so can you elaborate some more on how this is ECT?

    On face value, the Wikipedia article you posted describes ECT’s purpose is to induce a seizure.

    Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a psychiatric treatment that causes a generalized seizure by passing electrical current through the brain

    The article mentions something much milder

    by wearing a small device that applies mild electrical micro impulses

    ECT sounds horrific, but without further information, the articles only similarity is “electric meets brain”, but without the seizure part.
