What would you do if you caught a baseball during the MLB playoffs? Give it to a kid nearby or keep it? This very scenario played out this week, with a fan deciding to keep the ball.
Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 147, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you're new here, welcome, I missed you all, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)
I'm back from parental leave! Part time, anyway. Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes and tips for managing three kids. I need 'em all. This week, I've been reading about McMansions and data centers and sports cards and ICANN, trying to run my life on the Dell XPS Googlebook, testing a new and very purple Kindle, reinventing my whole note-taking system now that Google Docs can handle Markdown files, listening to episode β¦
The decision followed a warning from the chief constable that allowing the procession to go ahead could lead to serious injury, disorder and wider unrest across Northern Ireland.
For about a decade, the mainstream understanding has been that psychedelics cause chaos in the brain. Brain networksβthe stable patterns of communication that handle vision, attention, or our sense of self, and moreβloosen and start talking to each other all at once. EEG traces get noisier and more complex. βThink of the networks of the brain as highways,β says Devon Stoliker, a neuroscientist at Monash University. βUnder psychedelics, these highways break down into many different directions.β
In a recent Nature study, Stolikerβs team designed an experiment to test whether these directions are truly chaotic and random. Researchers gathered 62 people who had never taken a psychedelic before, gave them 19 milligrams of psilocybin, a common psychedelic found in certain fungi, and scanned their brains. Then, they used AI to analyze the drugged and sober brain scans. What emerged was not exactly chaos.
An uninterrupted trip
Stoliker thinks chaos is not a satisfactory explanation for psychedelicsβ effect on the brain. βIt never really explained why an individual would have a meaningful experience, why they might have insight, why they might experience clarity, and why these might translate into positive psychological changes,β Stoliker says. To investigate if there are other explanations, he and his colleagues designed a study called PsiConnect.
The party's Westminster leader Ellie Chowns made the comments after ex-leader Caroline Lucas said some members had joined to vote in the Zionism motion.

Scant data about serious adverse effects makes it harder to answer scientific and legal questions about how often the drugs might cause serious harm like blindness or pancreatitis.
I'm bouncing down the road in San Carlos, California, zipping past behemoth tech companies like EA and Oracle, in America's smallest electric truck.
The Telo MT1 (which stands for "mini truck") unquestionably turns heads because it looks so remarkably different from everything else on the market right now.
It has a nearly cab-over design, meaning that front-seat passengers sit almost directly over the front axle. It looks a lot like a Japanese kei truck, with a super-short nose and four doors. People stop to stare as we sit at stoplights or roll silently past.
The interior is surprisingly spacious, and while the seats are firm, they're n β¦
