☆ Elon Musk’s Neuralink shows brain implant prototype and robotic surgeon during recruiting event
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Jackie Wattles | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
The event showcased a video that Musk said showed a monkey using a brain implant to control a cursor and type on a computer. Musk noted during the “show and tell” event that the primary goal of the evening was to recruit talent to Neuralink. Musk, however, also tends to emphasize non-medical uses, such as using brain implants to even the playing field, if digital artificial intelligence becomes smarter than any human. During Wednesday’s event, Musk was asked if Neuralink would plan to make its tools available to neuroscientists. Before Neuralink’s brain implants are mass produced and hit the broader market, they’ll need regulatory approval.
☆ I analyzed all 48,000 words of Jeff Bezos' Amazon shareholder letters. The visionary billionaire does 8 impressive things that prove he's a master of written communication.

Thankfully, you won't need to wait for a business school to offer a class on the Bezos letters. Make the mission your mantraIn his first letter, Bezos laid out the principle that would drive the company's decisions for the next quarter century: customer obsession. In his 2017 shareholder letter, Bezos explained that while the quality of written memos varies widely, some have "the clarity of angels singing." Surround yourself with superstarsIn his 1998 letter, Bezos revealed the questions Amazon hiring managers ask themselves when they evaluate job applicants. Bezos wrote, "Day 2 is stasis.
☆ A psychologist says this is the No. 1 ‘sleep killer’—and it takes just 15 minutes to fix

1 sleep killer isn't social media or an uncomfortable mattress — it's rumination . As a psychologist who studies sleep for a living , I've worked with hundreds of patients to improve their sleep through cognitive behavioral therapy. Your attention is drawn back, again and again, to this thing that didn't go well or to a regret. Here are two ways to stop ruminating at night — and they only take 15 minutes to do:1. A licensed clinical psychologist, he has helped hundreds of patients improve their sleep using cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.
☆ Scientists Transplant Human Tissue into Rat Brains, Opening Door to New Research
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Daniela Hernandez | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Bioengineered human tissue transplanted into rat brains generated hybrid neural circuits that affected the animals’ behavior, researchers said, expanding a pathway for exploring brain development and the mechanics of some diseases. Neuroscientists at Stanford University transplanted tiny blobs of neural tissue known as organoids into the brains of newborn rats. The human cells grew and made functional connections within the rat brain, generating hybrid neural circuits, the researchers said in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

☆ These startups are beating Elon Musk in the race to let you mind meld with your computer

That's when I started reporting on them, and like any good nerd I was compelled by what scientists could learn with these "brain computer interfaces." The race for implantable brain chips has been a long, deliberate marathon. Graham Felstead, who has severe paralysis, was the first person to have a BCI inserted via the blood vessels. Brain chips will enable them to perform simple actions on their own and reduce the need for round-the-clock care. "When we started in 2015 and I was pitching venture capitalists on brain computer interfaces, no one knew what a brain computer interface was," says Matt Angle, the CEO of Paradromics.
☆ The Ayahuasca Diaries
  + stars: | 2022-06-26 | by ( Mattathias Schwartz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +37 min
But please understand: I didn't drink ayahuasca so I could write an article about it. I wrote an article about it so I could drink ayahuasca. I was desperate to drink ayahuasca — I had been for several months, in fact — and the formality of an assignment would help me out at home. Instead, a friend of a friend linked me up with an ayahuasca sangha, a Buddhist word for a spiritual community. I thought of my old friend, Scott, who, many years before, had declined an opportunity to drink ayahuasca.
