I have insomnia. This neurotech says it can cure me.

Would you shock your brain to cure your insomnia? How about your depression or anxiety? What if you could do it in the comfort of your own home with a hand-held device? That’s what cranial electrotherapy stimulation, or CES, proposes to do - just clip on a couple of funny little earbud-like wires, turn on your machine, and boom, insomnia cured! But how does this technology work, and how does it stack up to other kinds of brain stimulation? Is it even real or is it just a placebo? In this video, I’ll explore the tech and science behind CES, ECT (sometimes called electroshock therapy), and even tDCS (aka transcranial direct current stimulation), and dig into the claims made by a new neurotech company.
