an idea which I thought of as a very silly thought, in that “what if we combine tDCS and compounds like TAK-653/ACD-856/AF710B to make ultra Long Term Potentiation!”
turns out this is actually a subfield called pharmacological tDCS, where many papers 1 have investigated this approach.
“pharmacological tdcs” is actually quite synergistic: tdcs devlivers a weak, sub threshold direct current that purely nudges resting Membrane Potentials without forcing any neurons to fire. Long term effects are completely defined by the brains baseline neurochemical state. by introducing positive allosteric modulators, such as for ampa, or even dual receptors agonists along this electric field, we can lower the threshold for snypantic modification, converting the transient, weak eletrical polarization into a robust process for enduring Long Term Potentiation

Reading as Focus Telemetry - Zotero Papers
Simple enough of a task to do in a session, the reason I mention instead of the umbrella term for reading is the fact that I can quantify Zotero usage with ActivityWatch. Deep worked can be measured, along with additional exploration I do into paper related topics. As consuming without constructing is suboptimal, so we want to see probing into concepts discussed, annotations etc.

Not as useful for my work in academia and research, but a good test of Neuroplasticity and spaced repetition software. I have been learning dutch on the side
