Want To Drop Acid And Then Play Go?

Having tried the 2 separately (but not together) I'd say that Joaz's description sounds about like what I'd expect for a mid-level dosage. Your focus would increase, but you'd need to remember to keep that focus on the game and not everything else.

A very patient opponent would be a nice add as well...

I will send this a some friends.

I got one friend (6 dan) that he said me "you dont be a shoudan if you dont smoke 'mota' (marijuana)". I didnt it and I am kyu yet... if this experiment show scientifically some good relantionship, I will pose the saying of my friend

Man I wish I could make it. Downside, Cali is too far away from the experiment. Upside, Cali is not too far away from Cali Bud.

If they keep doing this kind of research regularly, surely it would help increase the popularity of go?

And/or the popularity of LSD

Any news about this?

And, BTW, when I read that, was reminded of this thread

No news as yet.

I am writing to let you know that my LSD microdosing research programme, using the game of go to measure creativity and intuitive pattern recognition, is finally moving ahead, and we will be ready to start testing later this year. Some time ago, you responded to a call for participants circulated amongst go-playing communities. If you are still interested in participating in this ground-breaking research, please do let me know by filling in the form available at http://beckleyfoundation.org/2018/04/23 ... ing-study/.

...doses of LSD, each about 1/10 the size of a normal hallucinogenic dose...

ONE-TENTH?

Not worth my time.

i imagine reading would be a little difficult... on higher doses of psychedelics, i think that time/sequences tend to "collapse" and i experience short-term memory loss. mathematical calculation becomes extremely difficult.

so... i'm hypothesizing that on lower doses we would see some these effects to some degree.
