The state attorney general's office is investigating a nonprofit foundation associated with the NXIVM corporation that allegedly sponsored brain-activity and other human behavioral studies without any apparent oversight, according to court records. The nonprofit Ethical Science Foundation was formed in 2007 by Clare W. Bronfman, an heiress of the Seagram Co. business empire who has described herself as the operations director of NXIVM. Bronfman, who owns a horse farm in Delanson, is listed in public records as the trustee and donor of the Ethical Science Foundation.

“Look, liberalism has a kind of Tourette’s syndrome these days. It’s just constantly saying the word ‘racism’ and ‘racist.’ There’s a kind of intellectual poverty now.

German brain researchers have successfully induced Tourette’s syndrome symptoms in healthy people for the first time, using powerful magnetic pulses. They hope it could lead to a non-drug treatment. The scientists at the University of Düsseldorf were researching the mechanism behind one of the symptoms of Tourette’s, known as “echophenomena”—involuntarily repeating the words or movements of others. They managed to induce this reaction in healthy human subjects by stimulating the supplementary motor area (SMA) of the brain, which controls movement. This could lead to non-drug therapy to reduce tics and repetitions in Tourette’s patients. …
