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."

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