🚨 March Tour Update — 2 New Dates Added 🚨
We’ve added two more shows to our March West Coast run:

➕ 3/10 – San Luis Obispo, CA @ SLO Brew (tickets on sale soon)
➕ 3/16 – Arcata, CA @ Humbrews (tickets on sale now)

This run is shaping up to be something truly special. We’re hearing from a lot of folks who are touring up the entire coast with us—turning this run into an amazing shared adventure. You can jump on for one night… or join the tour and ride it north.

Each night, The Garcia Project brings the feel, spirit, and healing tone of the classic Jerry Garcia Band, faithfully recreating full shows as a true time machine back to that music and that feeling.

“But honestly, [guitarist Mik Bondy] — of all the Jerry offshoot bands I’ve heard, the way he plays is very much like Jerry, the tone of his guitar is just like Jerry.”
— Maria Muldaur, Grammy Award–winning vocalist, toured with the Jerry Garcia Band 1977–79

Full March Tour Dates:

3/6 – San Diego, CA
3/8 – Ventura, CA
3/10 – San Luis Obispo, CA

3/12 – Petaluma, CA
3/13 – Petaluma, CA

Fascinating research out of the University of Washington successfully replicates a direct brain-to-brain connection between multiple pairs of people in a scientific study, following-up on the teams initial demonstration.

The study involved six people who were engaged with each other in pairs from different areas of campus. Researchers sent signals from one person’s brain over the internet to another person in an attempt to control the other’s hand motions with thought.

Study Method
In order to properly conduct the study researchers needed to separate the subjects and close off certain perceptions of the study method. Each sender of thought was placed in front of a computer game where he or she had to defend a city by firing a cannon and intercepting rockets launched by a pirate ship. But, the senders were not able to interact with the game physically. The only way they could properly defend their city was through thought. When a rocket was coming or when they wanted to fire a cannon, they had to think about doing that intentionally.

Across campus, each receiver sat in a dark room with headphones on and no ability to see the computer game. Their right hand was positioned overtop the touchpad that would fire the cannon when tapped. If brain-to-brain connection was successful between the two pairs, the send would effectively be able to get the receiver to tap the touchpad and fire the cannon.

From a technology standpoint, researchers used two types of noninvasive instruments that can connect with human brains in real-time. One participant was hooked up to a electroencephalography machine that reads brain activity and sends electrical pulses via the web to the receiver. The receiver is wearing a swim cap with a transcranial magnetic stimulation coil placed near the area of the brain that controls hand movements.

This setup effectively allows one person to send a command that would in theory move the hand of another person simply through thought.

“The new study brings our brain-to-brain interfacing paradigm from an initial demonstration to something that is closer to a deliverable technology,” said co-author Andrea Stocco, a research assistant professor of psychology and a researcher at UW’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences. “Now we have replicated our methods and know that they can work reliably with walk-in participants.”

The Results
It was found that accuracy varied depending on each pairing. The accuracy range was from 25 to 83 percent. Misses were mostly found to be caused by the sender failing to accurately execute the thought to send the “fire” command. The researchers also were able to quantify the exact amount of information that was transferred between the two brains.

Interestingly the degree of accuracy being low in subjects who couldn’t properly extend intention to the receiver also indicates that it isn’y simply just thoughts that affect our reality but actually the intention. Therefore during study of the phenomenon accuracy in whether or not subjects are truly intending vs just thinking is crucial.

For me personally, this brings interesting insight to my theory that thoughts don’t create reality, but that there needs to be a power behind that thought. A strong intention, emotion, feeling, etc. Further to that, it takes deep practice and a level of mastery to truly train yourself to impact physical reality with thought and intention.

This isn’t the first time brain-to-brain communication has been demonstrated scientifically. Another research team from the company Starlab in Barcelona, Spain, recently published a study with very similar results to the one above. Direct communication between two human brains was demonstrated but this one only featured two subjects.

Also, a study was done that demonstrated telepathy between humans during dreams.

The research team from the University of Washington has been granted a new $1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation so they can take their work to the next level. This clearly illustrates the validity and impressive potential implications of their work.

“Imagine someone who’s a brilliant scientist but not a brilliant teacher. Complex knowledge is hard to explain – we’re limited by language,” said co-author Chantel Prat, a faculty member at the Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences and a UW assistant professor of psychology.

Keeping An Open Mind
It feels like we are living in a time where new discoveries are truly making us question what it means to e human. Who are we? What are our capabilities? If the story of who we truly are changes, would that change how we choose to create our society and life?

Thankfully there are many brilliant people out there not only doing this work to bring forth cutting edge science. Of course this new science does come with opposition and controversy as paradigms are challenged by these ideas. It’s my feeling that there is little value in simply calling this work “pseudoscience” as it often is called, as it only seeks to cast off this work without truly looking into it and remembering to stay curious and playful.

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” – Nikola Tesla

Lukas Nelson, son of the legendary Willie Nelson, has opened up about how quitting w**d and alcohol has transformed his life.

In a recent issue of PEOPLE, the 37-year-old country musician spoke candidly about quitting his vices. The Nelson family have always been closely associated with ma*****na and getting high. But it looks like both father and son are finished with smoking the green.

Note that they’re done smoking, as both will have a mushroom or an edible very occasionally.

Lukas Nelson said, “Every time I took a drink or smoked w**d, it just f—-d my sleep up. I think I honestly can credit the WHOOP band for making me stop drinking.”

“Because I was just like, even one drink, it just screws it up so bad that I was like, ‘I’d rather wake up feeling good.’”

Healthy sleeping habits are the backbone to having a good day, and have enough good days, you’re gonna have a good life.

Lukas Nelson explained that quitting ma*****na helped his achieve his goals, too.

“I got my pilot’s license, and did all these things that I wanted to do that when I was smoking a lot of w**d, I never would’ve tried, because I’d have figured I probably shouldn’t do both those things at the same time,” he sensibly reckoned.

Now he’s able to fly and been off alcohol and w**d for a while, he’s happier and mentally healthier. He further said that he’s been able to be the man he wants to be and he’s much happier.

“I got clear with myself and I faced a lot of my fears and I realized they weren’t that scary after all,” he said. “Now I can be clear with myself and not want to run away from myself, which is great. I get high from making the right decision every time. I’m addicted to that high now of saying no. It’s a great feeling.”

So we really got both Nelsons quitting ma*****na before GTA VI. What a timeline we’re in, huh?
