Biohackers Magazine Issue 13

Book excerpt: Metaverse, Virtual & Mixed Reality: a New Era for Biohacking As the medical industry advances into lipid nanoparticle medicines for oncology and infectious disease management, the Artificial world is taking another dimension. The pandemic has accelerated this development even further because of the sudden increased need for remote collaboration. In the last decade, there is a real buzz for micro-dosing, psychedelics, brainpower and anything related to genetics & neuroscience. Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality already gives us access to expanded sensory-based cognitive experiences, but the new category of experience that is emerging now is Neural Reality. When consciousness and the senses are turned inward, Neural Reality is complex and rich with information.

Stay tuned, because the future is now, the new psychedelic experiences in a fully an immersive environment that matches reality is coming sooner than you think!
