The Most Painful Toy Hack

wintersynth writes "We hacked a toy brainwave reader to electrocute people if their brainwave frequency got too high (by concentrating). We took outputs off of the 5 level LED indicator, put the outputs through a transistor/resistor/relay circuit to give 2 levels of high voltage through an electric shock circuit right into the user's arm."

Why?

...umm...

Murder?

Is there any reason why you feel the need to murder test subjects through electrocution? Is this some new replacement for the electric chair?

I think you've watched Ghost Busters one too many times guys....

You've got it hooked up wrong!

Set it up to electrocute the user when they are NOT concentrating, and sell it as a cure for ADHD!

This implementation is sick

Brain waves are VERY low voltage. It takes about 50V to feel a shock. It looks like it feeds-back on itself! Suggestion: Replace the shocker with a buzzer/vibrator.
