<p>Yeh, like that... plenty of what looks like slick pre-release
hype-by-allusion, yet undeniably evidence that the development in
this area is in a virtuous feedback loop. A quick gander didn't
present me with any numbers but the gear looks pretty pricey...
probably the stuff of a future motorcycle/bicycle/climbing helmet
to upload your brain as you go into a skid/fall/tumble!</p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Ha! Well, not for me. I'm a technophile. Even more important than drug-induced experiences are those induced by other technologies like transcranial magnetic stimulation, which I don't regard as fundamentally different from connectivity drugs. Implants would be even better for interacting with that hairball of [intero|proprio]ceptive feedback loops that compose consciousness as well as pain.</pre>

<p>I've been dabbling with transcutaneous electro neural stim
and electro muscular stim (TENS/EMS) primarily for pain and
rehab (Mary's recent back/leg pain/dysfunction), trying to
work it into the VR/AR simulacral artifacts I already fiddle
with in Visual/Aural/CheapHaptics.
<br>
</p>
<p>The accessibility of VR/AR gear (HUD/HMD/GPU/CPU) has
already overshot my wildest dreams of a couple of decades
ago I fiddled with EEG pickups 20 years ago but it was too
early or at least there was a metaphorical impedance
mismatch of sorts. I've NOT dabbled with transcranial
magnetic stimulation... I don't even know if it is
accessible. I am curious (guardedly hopeful) that these
things are maturing at a pop/commercial level faster/better
than at the professional level. There may well be a
crowd-sourced ensemble exploration underway right now.</p>
<p>Regarding your <i>muscaria/fly agaric</i> aspirations, I'm
hearing something more like homeopathy or law-of-similars
since the "fly" in
<i>fly agaric</i> comes from etymologically the habit of
using it to poison flies by infusing it in milk to attract
flies. Maybe this is entirely a tangent (most of my
observations here *are* tangents?).</p>
