When the strip price approaches zero and you can use something from the drug store. I'd pre-order now if it weren't for an expensive and highly proprietary ongoing requirement. Should the company fail in the future you will quickly find yourself owning an odd shaped brick.

Will, you're bald, so I'm sure it's easy to stick Thync onto your head. And from the photographs, the first pad would be easy enough to apply. But where exactly does the second pad go? Especially for somebody with hair?

Thanks for this review. I can certainly appreciate the benefits of energetic clarity and meditative calm that Thync is able to offer -- especially for someone like me, who has always found it difficult to achieve and sustain a state of meditation for very long. However, a design that requires the frequent purchase of new "Sticky Strips" is problematic. Perhaps some sort of headband would hold the pads in place and eliminate the constant need for more adhesive strips.

I bought a Fisher Wallace trans-cranial stimulator that sounds similar to this gadget for my insomnia,but it did nothing at all.I was very disappointed,and I am embarrassed to admit what I paid for it.

This is a scam. I'm laughing at you if you take this seriously.

The trouble with becoming reliant on substances, or a technology such as this, is that you could wind up actually suffering if you ever have to go without. I also wonder how many uses before its efficacy diminishes; then what. Some drug and alcohol consumers wind up consuming more; and more; and more; until eventually they cause harm to themselves such as OD or liver damage. My family seems susceptible to addiction issues so long ago I consciously chose to be part of the 2/3 majority that never even start using such substances.

Raises an interesting question - if it "... was a bit like a safe, digital version of drugs", then when one can program in, say cannabis or LSD, would they make it illegal?

Regarding legality: the only reason to diminish our civil liberties (by prohibiting certain substances) is because there is a proven, grave danger to the general population.
And I can tell you for a fact, a significant proportion of people possess such substances solely because they are prohibited!
People don't like having their civil liberties meddled with. There are other examples, like people deliberately driving without seat belts in defiance of seat belt laws, etc.
Something would have to present clear menace to be prohibited, I doubt Thync qualifies.

It's probably not a scam, it works on the same principle as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMR_T0mM7Pc
