Chemist as pop star

The newspaper reflects on the career of Albert Hofmann, inventor of LSD, who has died aged 102: "Albert Hofmann has now become the subject of hymn like veneration. The modest chemist was always uncomfortable with the cult around his person, similar to that of a pop star. ... Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) - Hofmann's most influential if by no means his only invention - is a historical exception. Even its invention in 1943 provides ample material for later myths. It was a combination of laboratory accident and heroic self-experiment. ... The drug revealed its notorious revolutionary effects from its earliest use as a research tool in psychiatry and pharmacology. Depending how you view it, LSD can be a mind-altering drug, a medicine or a chemical weapon. It is unusual for a molecule to be so multifaceted."

In the search of God

"Let's keep it short: God lives in your brain". This is how Felix Hasler begins his report on the efforts of brain researchers to explain religious visions and mystic experiences on the basis of neurology. "For years now, the Canadian brain researcher Michael Persinger has been investigating the effects of weak but complex magnetic fields on the brain, and in effect the inner world of human experience. Electromagnetic coils are placed directly on the sculls of test persons to manipulate the brain. When blindfolded and exposed to the 'Thomas pulse' for a certain period of time, something amazing happens to over 80 percent of the test persons. They get the intense feeling that somebody or something very powerful is with them in the room."
