DETAILS ➡️:

Topics ⭐️:

• Join Addy Cha for an introductory keynote of Ekkolapto's launching experiment on Biological Prompt Engineering: Can we train or condition the body to "memorize" the effects/phenomenology of caffeine so we no longer have to consume it?

• Interpreting the scientific history of Pavlovian conditioning, psychosomatic conditions, hypnosis, placebo/nocebo, prayer, and method acting through the lens of modern cognitive science and information theory–and how we can use this perspective to invent new methods for safely modifying physiology and cognition.

​​​​• Hosted by Addy Cha (Founder @ Ekkolapto.org, O'Shaughnessy Ventures 2025 Grantee).
