No worries. The currents required are small enough that it wouldn't cost
very much at all for tournament organizers to supply sockets into which
anyone who wants to can plug their electrodes.

If you misposition the brain stimulator, you get some *very*
embarrassing side effects, but you still don't lose concentration.

I wonder if a cup of coffee would have the same or better result.
I saw a fellow wearing earplugs at a recent tournament. Maybe they were
actually brain enhancers disguised to look like earplugs.
