Very excited to share the most important discovery of my career yet: your brain switches between a conscious and an unconscious mode ~15 times every second. Consciousness may depend not on where in the brain activity occurs but when.
Find out more below.

1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness.

De las veredas y los subterráneos de Nueva York a los escenarios más grandes del planeta.
Leo P no llegó con un contrato bajo el brazo, sino que llegó con un saxo barítono, un cuerpo que no para de moverse y la terquedad de quien toca para la gente que pasa apurada, para el que deja una moneda y para el que se queda hipnotizado.
Ese video fue su salto al estrellato: energía de calle, sudor, ritmo que no pide permiso... logrando más de 10M de visibilidad... Ahí empezó todo.
Como tantos grandes que salieron del asfalto, los que primero tocaron en esquinas, en estaciones, en plazas, hasta que el mundo no tuvo más remedio que escucharlos.
De la calle al Royal Albert Hall; De Too Many Zooz en Union Square a compartir escenario con Beyoncé. Del rechazo de algunos profesores que decían que no se podía tocar bien bailando, a volverse una de las figuras más reconocibles del saxo contemporáneo, tanto en internet como en las calles.
Esta es la evolución de Leo P: no cambió de instrumento, cambió de escenario... el mismo fuego, la misma danza, el mismo sonido grave que parece salir de las entrañas de la ciudad.
La calle no es el final. A veces es la mejor escuela que existe para muchos músicos.
Porque el talento verdadero no espera un estudio de grabación.... Sale a la calle, se gana a la gente y, si resiste, termina conquistando la cima. 🎷
The heart’s constant beating may actively suppress tumor growth in cardiac tissues, a recent Science study reports. This is because cellular pathways in these tissues alter gene regulation in cancer cells to keep them from proliferating.
The findings shed light on the role of mechanical forces in protecting the heart from cancer and may pave the way to new cancer therapies based on mechanical stimulation.

Everyone knows the mitochondria is the "powerhouse of the cell." But have you seen how beautifully its movement was captured by Dr. Patrick C. Hickey in this 5th place #SmallWorldInMotion winning video? 🏆 Now you have!

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
We finally understand why psychedelics cause a profound feeling of "connectedness".
They literally tune the brain to the world @Nature
A new study of psilocybin shows the brain reorganizes to match its context, explaining how "set and setting" actually work. 🧵
How does psilocybin alter consciousness to create a profound sense of ‘oneness’? A new study found a "hidden order" in brain activity, where networks responsible for the self and the world integrated.

Scientists have created the first comprehensive map of the human vagus nerve, tracing thousands of individual nerve fibers stretching from the lower brain stem to all major organs.
The map might help scientists and doctors more precisely stimulate the nerve as a potential treatment for conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, and inflammatory diseases.
