This image from this paper shows 5-MEO-DMT induced spiral waves in slow EEG (Earl and others have shown). It resembles the Gaudi brain logo from Barcelona TSC, and Anirban’s projected vortices from microtubules inside all those neurons. Is psychedelic state ‘fractalization’ ?

@MillerLabMIT A nice commentary of this paper from Christof Koch:

A psychedelic drug disorganizes cortical traveling waves. Groovy work.

"Ultimately, language is both an enhancement and a constraint, a double-edged sword that structures thought while simultaneously obscuring other modes of being."

@thelablab We can move no faster than the evolution of our language, and this is certainly part of what the psychedelics are about: they force the evolution of language.

#Wellbeing in the 🧠?

[The LAB Lab 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @thelablab]

👋 We show that #wellbeing, like other high-level constructs, e.g., ‘language’, is fundamentally a dynamic, wholebrain process, with big-ol' individual differences, supported by distinct networks. 🧠 🗣️ 🫀

Amazing work from the formidable @YumengMa89. 🥂

Ever wondered what happens in the brain when someone takes the world’s most powerful psychedelic drug?🧐Me too! So we went and found out.

Our new preprint is now live where you can read all about it:
