I tried this. The sensation on the skin was a step below pain but a step above annoying and uncomfortable. I noticed no other effects. I only tried it once. YMM

Their website is impossibly vague. Have they ever disclosed the operating principle?
- runn1ng 11y agoThey do have some scientific publications here http://www.thync.com/resources/scientific-publications http://www.thync.com/resources/scientific-publications
- joelthelion 11y agoBut the only one that claims an effect on humans is a preprint, so it hasn't been peer-reviewed...
- joshrotenberg 11y agoI found the video to be incredibly vague and aside from being flashily produced and making me hungry it really didn't enlighten me to what the product does (or claims to do).
- jpwagner 11y agoI too have tried this. One of the founders walked me through the controls (which you can set to as mild or as uncomfortable as you like). Once on, you're supposed to try and forget about it. I think you'll notice that if you try to think too hard about your shirt collar, it will feel uncomfortable too. So if you "try to feel something", you may not like it, but if you attach it and walk around mingling at a party, you will notice soon that you feel quite easy-going.
- kennywinker 11y agoThe thought that you could be wearing this at a party mingling, and not be ACTIVELY talking about it is pretty ridiculous. They'd have to be all but ubiquitous to not be the subject of every convo you have every second while you're wearing it.
