Ultrasound Stimulation:

Brain stimulation with ultrasound may enhance cognitive function

Are there any interested hobbyist who would develop a helmet, and published a guide / blueprint?
Ultrasound appears to be the best method.

Thanks...

I've often wondered why no one offers an MRI machine as a do-it-yourself kit for the home constructor.

Why does this make me think of Walter Pidgeon in Forbidden Planet? (when I'd rather think of Anne Francis in the same film).

Not to mention Cuckoo's Nest.

I recognize the cynicism of your words, but I'm serious.
An MRI costs millions and serves a different purpose.
But you can build an electron microscope. School classes have already done.

A "thinking cap" ("Gyro Gearloose" ;]) can someone develop private.
Why not? A Nuremburg Funnel :-D.

Better (and safer) than Ritalin and Co. ..

Yes and no, because it takes no special knowledge of electronics.
Moreover, it is very inaccurate and superficial. It does not reach deeper brain regions.
And you need wet contacts.

Math ability can also enhance with magnetic, and i mean ultrasound.

You may already be doing it with your mobile phone.
