Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Controlled hormone levels for two years has made the speaker feel cognitively and physically in tune.

◐Partially SupportedTraining for bridged individuals involves learning to desynchronize movements.

◐Partially SupportedWalking everywhere on the base is a practice to keep blood flowing.

◐Partially SupportedThe 'bridge' system allows for statistical analysis of subjective life experiences and physiological responses to emotions.

◐Partially SupportedThe response of hormonal and physiological reactions often precedes conscious awareness of the emotion or reaction itself.

◐Partially SupportedReliance on 'bridge' technology leads to cognitive decline, making individuals 'dumber than an ant' once the technology is removed.

◐Partially SupportedFull integration of the bridge back into the brain requires a few nights of sleep.

◐Partially SupportedMave should limit use to a maximum of 5 minutes due to being a recovering addict.

◐Partially SupportedA person's fimax will hit zero for less than 10 milliseconds during a 'crossing' event.

◐Partially SupportedUsing stammering, disfluencies, and small surprises at the beginning of a speech can create an impression of improved coherence by the finale.

◐Partially SupportedLaughter can induce physiological benefits similar to physical exertion, such as increased red blood cell count, oxygen intake, and endorphin release.

◐Partially SupportedAll brains, including those without 'bridges', possess a specific signal that can be observed by speeding up the waveform.

◐Partially SupportedCollect data immediately upon injection of the 'crossing virus' rather than waiting 30 minutes.

◐Partially SupportedEarly trials of the 'bridge' neurological enhancement did not work on adults.

◐Partially SupportedAn infrared flashlight, electrostatic-free tongs, and an antique night vision monacle can be used to inspect mail for electronics without bare hands.

◐Partially SupportedThe 'hat' device uses ultrasound and focused light to stimulate ion channels for internal voice.

◐Partially SupportedProteins made by 'bridge' technology can be detected by a trace marker.

◐Partially SupportedA device was intended to accelerate cognitive development, estimating a gain of 10 cognitive years in one year.

◐Partially SupportedBridging communication between two brains was historically thought to be psychosis-inducing.

◐Partially SupportedThe speaker's bridge dehydrated their larynx and dilated capillaries near their lungs to maximize lung capacity.

◐Partially SupportedThe underlying bridge technology used for AI communications can be concerning due to potential for adults to read thoughts.

◐Partially SupportedThe number of synapses in the brain decreases as an organism grows.

◐Partially SupportedThe firstborn twin may receive more hormones due to umbilical cord connection, potentially impacting development.

?Limited ResearchThe 'Crossing virus' injection's effects on brain activity are uncertain and may take up to 30 minutes to manifest.

◐Partially SupportedThe AI in the Hat can detect pain and asks about shoulder pain after injection.
