Ooooh and a bargain at $699.00 or low easy payments of just $59 a month.

Don't forget the replacement consumables, too! $60 every 2-4 months and another $70 every 6 months... pretty darn expensive.

You expect a cool frontal cortex to be cheap?

Think about the brain freeze from Ben & Jerry's. You would have to do it over and over all night long. At $5 a scoop, how much is that going to cost you, Buster?

The Ben & Jerry's may cost more, but it would be much more enjoyable.

That much Ben & Jerry's and I *might* need a new wardrobe as well!

Anybody else think that looks like Alan Thicke? It might be wise to pick a living spokesperson.

Well, darn. I would love an ice pack for my head that stays cold a long time. When I get a bad headache, I need ice packs to get relief. But they don't stay cold very long. Even without a headache, a good ice pack feels good on my head. But that price is way too high. I guess I will stick with using multiple gel packs and keeping the freezer well stocked.

If this were any good - be it for sleeping or headaches - it can be made quite easily. It has an electronically controlled heat exchanger with a pump-circulated liquid in a pathway through a cooling pad. Basically, a CPU cooler, except instead of the hot CPU there is a TEC (thermoelectric cooler). The fancy control elements (with the LED displays) are not that important, but could be easily achieved with your favorite embedded single-board micro platform (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, etc.) With those liquid cooling solutions, corrosion is an issue, but I still think they went with the replaceable fluid cartridge so that they can have one more consumable to keep the money flow from the users steady. You could Frankenstein one of those with a DC power supply, simple control circuit (it doesn't even need to be closed loop, you may very well find that manual adjustment would serve you well enough), a TEC, a liquid pump, coolant fluid and tubing, and a rigged "radiator" for your head.

Or ignore it, for now - if it's any good, there will soon be Chinese alternatives for $50. Or if it is really good, big pharma will lobby to regulate it as a medical device so that it can be only sold with prescription through DME suppliers...

OK.
Think I will stick with ice in ice pack.
Just me.
