A new study reveals how psilocybin, a compound in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magic-mushrooms">magic mushrooms</a> induces dynamic hyperconnectivity in the brain, leading to profound ego-modifying experiences and feelings of oceanic boundlessness. Published in <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2451902224000843?via%3Dihub">Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging</a>, this research delves into the mystical experiences reported by users, highlighting the therapeutic potential of psychedelics for treating psychiatric disorders.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding Oceanic Boundlessness</h4>
The concept of oceanic boundlessness, often described as a sense of unity, blissfulness, insightfulness and spiritual experience, is frequently associated with psychedelic sessions. The study, one of the first to utilize brain imaging in psychedelic research, identifies a specific link between the psychedelic state and changes in dynamic brain connectivity. Unlike previous research showing static <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/04/26592568/psilocybin-more-effective-than-antidepressants-in-treating-depression-new-study-shows">increases in global brain connectivity under psychedelics</a>, this study demonstrates that hyperconnectivity is dynamic, correlating with the feeling of oceanic boundlessness.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Psilocybin&#8217;s Impact on Brain Function</h4>
Johannes G. Ramaekers, PhD, from Maastricht University, notes that psilocybin has shown potential in treating a variety of disorders, including OCD, anxiety, depression and addiction. &#8220;What was not fully understood is what brain activity is associated with these profound experiences,&#8221; Ramaekers explains. The brain&#8217;s tendency to enter a hyperconnected-hyperarousal pattern under psilocybin suggests a potential for variant mental perspectives. This study sheds light on the interplay between brain dynamics and subjective experiences, offering new insights into the neurophysiology of the psychedelic state.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Detailed Study Findings</h4>
The research analyzed fMRI data from two groups: one received psilocybin, the other a placebo. Participants on psilocybin reported significant phenomenological changes with brain connectivity analysis revealing global region-to-region connectivity patterns. This hyperconnected pattern explains the variant mental associations experienced by participants and links to oceanic boundlessness and unity.
Larry Fort, a PhD candidate at the University of Liège, emphasizes the ego-modifying (&#8220;egotropic&#8221;) effects of psilocybin. &#8220;We expected that the hallucinatory dimensions of experience would correlate the highest with psilocybin&#8217;s hyperconnected pattern,&#8221; Fort says. However, the study found a stronger correlation between ego-modifying experiences and hyperconnectivity than with hallucinatory experiences.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Future Implications for Psychedelic Therapy</h4>
Cameron S. Carter, MD, editor-in-chief of &#8220;Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging,&#8221; says the study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying psilocybin&#8217;s effects. &#8220;It sets the stage for future studies using other psychedelic agents to examine whether the dynamic connectivity effects reflect a general mechanism for the therapeutic effects of these compounds.&#8221;
Athena Demertzi, PhD, from the University of Liège, adds that the brain&#8217;s hyperconnected regions showed lower global signal amplitude, approximating heightened cortical arousal. &#8220;This might be an important correlation as we move towards a full characterization of brain states under psychedelics,&#8221; she explains.

Why Domino's Pizza Shares Are Trading Lower By Over 11%? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Thursday's Mid-Day Session

AMETEK's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AME#NYSE">AME</a>) short percent of float has fallen 34.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.92 million shares sold short, which is 1.42% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.28 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for AMETEK has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing AMETEK's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, AMETEK's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.31%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

During the quarter, Blackstone invested $33.7 billion and allocated an additional $19.1 billion to new ventures, marking its busiest period since 2022.
Gray cited their strategy to invest preemptively ahead of potential rate cuts by the Fed as driving the increased deal activity.
Gray commented as the group reported a 3% year-on-year rise in distributable earnings, slightly below analysts&#8217; expectations.

He expressed confidence that the U.S. central bank would soon have the chance to ease monetary policy as inflation and the job market stabilized.
&#8220;Wage pressures have come off, and when we survey our companies, they are saying it is much easier to hire,&#8221; he noted.
He also mentioned that within its property portfolio, rent increases were occurring at a slower pace compared to what government data indicated. This trend is expected to eventually affect official inflation metrics used by the Fed to determine interest rates, Financial Times added.
Price Action: BX shares are trading higher by 2.62% to $138.38 at last check Thursday.

There are two ways traders can profit from stocks trading within a well-defined range. The first is to &#8220;trade the range.&#8221; The second way is to &#8220;trade the breakout.&#8221;
As you can see on the chart, shares of Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) are trading within a range. The top of the range is the resistance around $480.00 and the bottom is support around $462.00.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="616" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/18114710/1-16-1024x616.png" alt="Meta is trading withing a range." class="wp-image-443581" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/18114710/1-16-1024x616.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/18114710/1-16-300x180.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/18114710/1-16-768x462.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/18114710/1-16.png 1044w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Trading the range would be to sell if the price gets close to $480.00 and to buy if the price gets close to $462.00.

The top of a trading range is a resistance level. And sometimes when stocks reach resistance they tend to reverse and head lower. This happens when some of the investors and traders who created the resistance with their sell orders start to undercut each other.
They know buyers will go to whoever is willing to sell at the lowest price. They don't want to miss out, so they reduce the prices at which they are willing to sell. Others see this and do the same. This results in a snowball effect which can push the price lower.
The bottom of a trading range is a support level. Sometimes when stocks drop to support, they reverse and rally. This occurs when some investors and traders who created the support with their buy orders worry that they will miss the trade.
They know sellers will go to whoever is willing to pay the highest price. They don't want to miss the trade, so they increase the prices they are willing to pay. Others see this and do the same. It results in a bidding war that can push the price higher.
Trading the range would be to buy if the price moves above $480.00 and to sell if the price drops below $462.00.
If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/meta">Meta</a> is above $480.00, it could mean the people who created the resistance with their sell orders have left the market. They have finished or canceled their orders.
This means those who want to buy will need to bid premium prices to attract sellers off of the sidelines. This could force the price higher.
If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META/analyst-ratings">Meta</a> is above $462.00, it may mean that the people who created the support with their buy orders have left the market. They have finished or canceled their orders.
This means people who want to sell will need to offer their shares out at a discount to draw buyers off of the sidelines. This could force the shares into a downtrend.
