http://www.foc.us/v2/downloads foc.us is designed to be used by healthy adults who do not suffer from epilepsy, brain or mental health conditions or have a metalic implant such as a skull plate, cochlear implant, pace-maker or others. 3 Warning If you suffer from epilepsy, seisures, brain lessions, bipolar depression or severe heart disease you should not use the foc.us headset. If you experience short term negative effects with foc.us you should immediately stop using it. This is not a toy and is not intended to be used by anyone under the age of 18 years old. If using your own electrodes it is not recommended to create novel electrode placements. Do not position the electrodes so that the current may pass through the brainstem. Do not position the electrodes over cuts, grazes or damaged skin. Allow at least 48 hours between usage. Always use the electrodes with wet sponges. Do not touch the metal electrodes as this can lead to burns. 5 What you need to understand before using foc.us foc.us is designed to improve your mental gaming skills. You are exciting and inhibiting sections of your pre-frontal cortex with an electric current. Possible side effects include tingling sensations under the electrodes or on the scalp, visual artifacts, nausea, headaches and fatigue. If you experience any of these you should stop using foc.us. Repeated use may lead to skin irritation. If you exceed the recommended durations you increase the risk of consolidating both the excitatory and inhibitory processes. You may feel a tingling sensation, or a hot or cold sensation. If this is uncomfortable or painful then you should stop session and remove the electrodes. Redness may appear under electrodes after use which will disappear after a short time. Foc.us should not be used during any activities other than seditary gaming. If you see white flashes, or phosphenes you should adjust the position of the headset on your head, pushing it further back away from your eyes. 7 1. 2. 3.
