Magnets Can Manipulate Morality
Magnetic fields targeting the moral center of the brain could scramble our sense of right and wrong.
Magnets can alter a person’s sense of morality, according to a new report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Using a powerful magnetic field, scientists from MIT, Harvard University and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are able to scramble the moral center of the...

What Geometric Visual Hallucinations Tell Us about... →
Seeing vivid visual hallucinations is an experience described in almost all human cultures. Painted hallucinatory images are found in prehistoric caves and scratched on petroglyphs. Hallucinatory images are seen both when falling asleep and on waking up, following sensory deprivation, after taking ketamine and related anesthetics, after seeing bright flickering light, or on applying deep...

Cybermagic: The Information Model
The information model of magic is being developed since about 1987 and there is still considerable debate about the direction it shall ultimately take. Its basic premises to date are as follows:
a) Energy as such is “dumb”: it needs information on what to do; this can be so called laws of nature or direct commands.
b) Information does not have mass or energy. Thus, it is faster than...

The "Karmic Boomerang" Effect
Contrary to popular belief, it is the opinion of the author that such effects are not due to some universal ”moral injunction” against the use of aggressive magic. At least in my experience, such “karmic certainties” as the Wiccan’s ‘Law of Threefold Return’, in which any harm done with magic will rebound on the perpetrator by a factor of three, rarely...

We feel your pain: Extreme Empathy →
HORROR films are simply a disconcerting watch for the majority of us, but for Jane Barrett they are literally torturous. She writhes in agony whenever the actors on the screen feel pain. “When I see violence in films I have an extreme reaction,” she says. “I simply have to close my eyes. I start to feel nauseous and have to breathe deeply.”
She is just one of many people...

Watch“AntiVJ has been working on a new format for French retro-futurist electronic producers Principles of Geometry. Using stereoscopy (technology used in IMAX cinemas to watch visuals with 3D glasses) they produced a 50min long real-time journey through space. An exciting experience and a real visual counterpart to the band’s space/epic soundtrack.
Obviously you can’t see the 3D effect on a...

Brain food: the psychology of heroism (The... →
In paying tribute to Michael Foot last week, David Cameron used an intriguingly double-edged phrase. He described the former Labour leader as “almost the last link to a more heroic age in politics” – a duly respectful compliment, but one that also hinted that Foot was from a bygone era where politics was done in brash primary colours rather than the thoughtful shades used today.
Of...
