[00:00.00]Dr Young believes that the technique

[00:02.60]could eventually be used to help children

[00:04.68]learn to read,or adults

[00:06.71]to pick up a new language.

[00:08.69]In the meantime,however,the"brain zapper"

[00:10.99]seems to do as much damage to the brain

[00:13.21]as it does good.

[00:14.62]"We had a hard time recruiting volunteers

[00:16.69]to get their brain zapped,"admitted Young.

[00:19.59]"One guy got lost on his way to work

[00:21.56]the day after the experiment."
