I'd love to try this thing, it looks like it induces a lot of smiling :-)

To be useful though I think you'd want to instrument both arms, and have 
very fine control over the level of stimulation.  I wonder how precisely 
the electrodes have to be placed on the arm?  They look like traditional 
TENS electrodes.

The project page:

mentions a publication in the Proceedings of CHI 2013, but I don't think 
it's even out yet.  Can anyone confirm and/or get it?
