    The company should market these to people with sleep problems. They could make mattress-sized pads and charge maybe $3,000.00 U.S. for them.

    Their ad campaign could claim "Wake up in the morning feeling really recharged!!" :P

    Unfortunately they also need a system to wirelessly recharge their brain, and we don't have that yet.
