Dark to Light... get in loser, we’re artificially incepting memories with light!

Quote:Scientists Found a New Way to Control the Brain With Light—No Surgery Required

If I had to place money on a neurotech that will win the Nobel Prize, it’s optogenetics.

The technology uses light of different frequencies to control the brain. It’s a brilliant mind-meld of basic neurobiology and engineering that hijacks the mechanism behind how neurons naturally activate—or are silenced—in the brain.

Thanks to optogenetics, in just ten years we’ve been able to artificially incept memories in mice, decipher brain signals that lead to pain, untangle the neural code for addiction, reverse depression, restore rudimentary sight in blinded mice, and overwrite terrible memories with happy ones. Optogenetics is akin to a universal programming language for the brain.

But it’s got two serious downfalls: it requires gene therapy, and it needs brain surgery to implant optical fibers into the brain.

This week, the original mind behind optogenetics is back with an update that cuts the cord. Dr. Karl Deisseroth’s team at Stanford University, in collaboration with the University of Minnesota, unveiled an upgraded version of optogenetics that controls behavior without the need for surgery. Rather, the system shines light through the skulls of mice, and it penetrates deep into the brain. With light pulses, the team was able to change how likely a mouse was to have seizures, or reprogram its brain so it preferred social company.

To be clear: we’re far off from scientists controlling your brain with flashlights. The key to optogenetics is genetic engineering—without it, neurons (including yours) don’t naturally respond to light.

However, looking ahead, the study is a sure-footed step towards transforming a powerful research technology into a clinical therapy that could potentially help people with neurological problems, such as depression or epilepsy. We are still far from that vision—but the study suggests it’s science fiction potentially within reach.

...
Using viruses, scientists can add a gene for opsins, a special family of proteins from algae, into living neurons. Opsins are specialized “doors” that open under certain frequencies of light pulses, something mammalian brain cells can’t do. Adding opsins into mouse neurons (or ours) essentially gives them the superpower to respond to light. In classic optogenetics, scientists implant optical fibers near opsin-dotted neurons to deliver the light stimulation. Computer-programmed light pulses can then target these newly light-sensitive neurons in a particular region of the brain and control their activity like puppets on a string.

It gets cooler. Using genetic engineering, scientists can also fine-tune which populations of neurons get that extra power—for example, only those that encode a recent memory, or those involved in depression or epilepsy. This makes it possible to play with those neural circuits using light, while the rest of the brain hums along.

This selectivity is partially why optogenetics is so powerful. But it’s not all ponies and rainbows. As you can imagine, mice don’t particularly enjoy being tethered by optical fibers sprouting from their brains. Humans don’t either, hence the hiccup in adopting the tool for clinical use. Since its introduction, a main goal for next-generation optogenetics has been to cut the cord.

...
But for unraveling the inner workings of the brain, it’s an amazing leap into the future. So far, efforts at cutting the optical cord for optogenetics have come with the knee-capped ability to go deep into the brain, limiting control to only surface brain regions such as the cortex. Other methods overheat sensitive brain tissue and culminate in damage. Yet others act as 1990s DOS systems, with significant delay between a command (activate!) and the neuron’s response.

This brain-control OS, though not yet perfect, resolves those problems. Unlike Neuralink and other neural implants, the study suggests it’s possible to control the brain without surgery or implants. All you need is light.

I just saw the darnedest thing.

Sylvester and Enoch have a cat tree. Sylvester always hangs around and sleeps at the top. Enoch never showed an interest in the top perch. He preferred the cubbyhole in the center, or my bed.
,
Tonight, Sylvester had gone up to the perch to sleep like he does on the nights they decide to be in the house. They want to be in the house at night when if it is storming, otherwise they prefer to be outside on the porch.

Enoch for some reason decided he wanted to sleep on the top perch. Enoch is alpha of the whole pack, even of the Huskies. So he goes up to the top, but Sylvester doesn't move. So he makes himself taller than Sylvester and they both look at me. I just give them the "look".

They know I do not allow aggressive possession, not even with food. So Enoch starts licking Sylvester on the head. Now all the while looking at me. Sylvester starts to get annoyed, so the tail starts whipping about. I moved to a seat closer. Still I say nothing. Just making sure they get a good view of the "look". Now Sylvester starts licking Enoch about the head.

Enoch grabs Sylvester's head. Looks like he had him in a head lock, and he keeps licking his face. Now after a good ten minutes of this, Sylvester gives in, and gives up the perch. He goes to sleep on the ledge in the music room. It is higher anyway.

I swear those two are a complete mess. They know darn well when they are doing something they have no business, that is why they look at me to make sure I am not looking. Then play innocent if I am looking.

I swear they are worse than children.

There are a bunch of articles from the Dutch referencing sudden massive increases in reports of cognitive problems related to Covid and or Covid Vaccines, many from the last few days.

We have noticed this ourselves through observation and testimonials.

Significant increase in memory and concentration problems among adults

https://www.rivm.nl/en/news/significant-...ong-adults

Quote:In the first quarter of 2023, there was a 24% increase in GP visits related to memory and concentration problems among adults (age 25 years and older) compared to the same period in 2020. This is evidenced by the latest quarterly research update from the GOR Network. The increase in memory and concentration problems of adults seems to be a longer-term effect of the coronavirus measures as well as SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Yes sir ree bob.

A Man has beaten dozens of Women in a Bicycle Race.

What makes this scenario fair and balanced?

He gallantly peddled his way to victory right off the bat.

Ironically, the event name was "The Belgian Waffle Ride North Carolina".

What happened to Womens' Rights?

A real brave hero is in the spotlight again!!

Quote:
A man who claims to be a woman has won first place in the women’s category in a North Carolina cycling tour, making the race yet another win taken away from natural-born women.

On Saturday, the “Belgian Waffle Ride North Carolina” took place in Hendersonville, where Austin Killips, a 27-year-old man who “identifies” as a woman, won in the women’s category.

According to Reduxx, Killips was in the lead in the women’s division from the outset of the race, and no other competitor ever came anywhere close to him except for a brief time at the midpoint when a woman passed him. But soon enough, Killips rallied and left his female opponents in the dust.

The Shaver Mystery: The Most Sensational True Story Ever Told

Quote:Life magazine described the Shaver Mystery as "the most celebrated rumpus that rocked the science fiction world." Its creators said it was a "new wave in science fiction." Critics called it "dangerous nonsense" and labeled its fans the lunatic fringe. Whatever else the Shaver Mystery was, it became a worldwide sensation between 1945 and 1948, one of the greatest controversies to hit the science fiction genre. Today these stories of the remnants of a sinister ancient civilization living in caverns under the Earth are an all but forgotten sidebar to the historical record.The Shaver Mystery began as a series of science fiction yarns in Amazing Stories nearly 70 years ago. The men behind it, Ray Palmer and Richard Shaver, were derided and seldom understood by a fandom that did its best to sweep them under the carpet of history. Though Ray Palmer was one of the earliest and biggest names in SF fandom, credited with many firsts in his field, his fannish brethren have roundly ignored him, thanks to the Shaver Mystery. What is the truth behind these men and their "mystery"? This is the question writers and editors that promoted the Shaver Mystery try to answer as they reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the phenomenon known as "Shaverism."

War over Lemuria: Richard Shaver, Ray Palmer and the Strangest Chapter of 1940s Science Fiction

Question: Have you ever just clicked on strange things that show up on the right side of youtube and find yourself mesmerized and captivated by the content and spend an hour watching it and realize that this is better than most TV shows? This is one of those for me. I found it quite entertaining.

I must not be the only one as it has 6.5 million views in 2 weeks.

Quote:1000 Minecraft players onto 4 islands, each its own civilization. Each player had the freedom to do whatever they want, but they only had one life. Will there be democracy? Will there be war? Which nations will be triumphant? Find out now!

More info:

Out of 8000+ applicants, 1200 players were accepted to play in my 1000 Player Civilization Experiment (also known as "Season 2"). Before the event began, players selected which island they wanted to join—plains, desert, snow, or jungle. Each day, all players logged on at the same time, and session lasted around 1-2 hours. For the most part, players could do whatever they want, including mining for resources, running a business, becoming a leader, or fighting in war. We did set a few limitations on the players to promote a better experience, like banning random killing (RDM) as well as disabling most Minecraft enchantments.

We've all been wondering how in the world the end times prophecy about a "one world religion" could feasibly come about and most have thought it impossible- but that was before our idiot governments started listening to the WEF.

Quote:
A top official with the World Economic Forum (WEF) has called for religious scripture to be “rewritten” by artificial intelligence (AI) to create a globalized “new Bible.”

Yuval Noah Harari, the senior advisor to the WEF and its chairman Nazi Son, Klaus Schwab, argues that using AI to replace scriptures will create unified “religions that are actually correct.”
Harari, an influential author and professor, made the call while giving a talk on the “future of humanity.”

According to Harari, the power of AI can be harnessed and used to reshape spirituality into the WEF’s globalist vision of “equity” and inclusivism.

Alien stuff is becoming so mainstream that we now have theory crafting on what states would have the best chance... LOL. 

So, when are the fake aliens going to be released on national TV to tell us we need to have a one world government, financial system and the mark of the beast?



New study ranks states on their chances of surviving alien invasion – Where does your home stand?

Quote:“In the event of an alien invasion,” the site contended, “disruptions to transportation and logistics networks could make it challenging to import food from other regions our countries. States with a higher number of food and beverage companies would have a greater capacity to produce and distribute food locally, ensuring a more reliable food supply for their population.”


Based on those notions and factors that included population density, military and law enforcement presence, as well as landscape, Virginia came in at number one, providing an 80.4 percent survivability rating followed by Georgia, Massachusetts, New York and Louisiana in the top five.

“The presence of a larger military force per capita means that Virginia is well-equipped to defend and protect its territory against extraterrestrial threats and enables a faster response time to an alien invasion, meaning the state can mobilize and deploy troops more quickly,” the site added.
