Well how's it work when you're really really drunk? You seem to have left that part out, yet it's a fundamental question any time you deal with Karaoke.

Ah, you make a very fair point. And I wish I was scientist enough to answer it.

Perhaps, with the Thinking Cap on, the part of you that needs one drink too many is the part that gets switched off..

Professor Allan Snyder has been doing truly amazing work in the field of noninvasive brain treatment. Several other institutions such as the University of Arizona, Columbia University. MIT and the University of Toronto are also making great strides toward completing an actual fully working model which should be available for public use by 2015. However, following considerable investigation by World News Watch we have come across considerable validating data strongly indicating that a small biotech company in San Antonio, Texas, The Behavior Research Institute, completed a fully working prototype model called Electromagnetic Brain Animation some 4 years ago. This is a patented mechanism. This same Institution also owns trademark rights to the much used colloquial name of all such similar instruments, 'The Thinking
