Scientist Martin Picard tests his mitochondrial theory of mind on himself

Neurobiologist Martin Picard subjected himself to a 24-hour research protocol in which nurses drew his blood every hour, including while he slept, passing it through a hole in his chamber wall to a research team next door. The self-experiment is part of his work on the mitochondrial theory of mind, which links mitochondrial function to psychological states and consciousness. Picard is investigating how mitochondrial health shapes brain function and mood.

Should scientists conduct research experiments on themselves?

Kawasaki Ninja H2 2027 set to lose horsepower per homologation documents

Homologation documents suggest the 2027 Kawasaki Ninja H2 will produce less power than the current model. The news has upset the motorcycle community online, though the bike will still rank among the most powerful production superbikes available. In reality, most riders never come close to exploiting the machine's full potential outside of a racetrack straight.

Is losing a few horsepower in the Ninja H2 a serious issue for riders?

Free dietitian visits available on Poland's NFZ — who qualifies?

Poland's National Health Fund (NFZ) covers dietitian consultations in certain medical situations, though few people are aware of this benefit. A GP referral is typically required, and the patient usually needs to meet specific health criteria such as obesity or metabolic disease. This option offers free professional nutritional support to those who qualify.

Should the NFZ cover dietitian visits for everyone without a referral?

Index Ventures co-founder: AI fortunes will be redistributed, voluntarily or not

Neil Rimer, co-founder of venture capital firm Index Ventures, predicts that the historic wealth being generated by AI in Silicon Valley will inevitably be redistributed — either voluntarily or by force. He argues that the unprecedented concentration of capital driven by AI will trigger significant social and political pressure. Rimer did not specify an exact mechanism for how that redistribution would occur.

Should governments redistribute wealth generated by AI companies?

Interoception identified as the human sixth sense — reading signals from within your own body

A growing body of research suggests humans have not five but six senses. The sixth is interoception — the ability to sense and interpret signals from inside the body, such as hunger, thirst, sleepiness, body temperature, heartbeat and breathing. Scientists consider it a key component of human health and wellbeing.

Should interoception be officially recognised as the human sixth sense?

Polish inflation hits NBP target, fuel prices spike, S&P 500 grows more tech-dependent

Polish inflation has hit the National Bank of Poland's target exactly, reassuring economists and investors that price pressure is under control. At the same time, fuel prices have surged at petrol stations and the S&P 500 index is increasingly concentrated in technology stocks. Signals of an economic slowdown abroad raise questions about the durability of the current bull market.

Should the NBP cut interest rates now that inflation has hit its target?
