This extraordinary psychedelic precision functional mapping dataset is now fully/freely available to all!
All the info to access & use it in a newly published Nature Scientific Data Resource: https://t.co/W6lRzv7u2b
Thanks to the incredible team who created it - Subha S, Rick R, Ginger N, Demetrius P, Nick M, to name a few.
Nature’s cover is an Easter egg! Huxley‘s Doors of Perception described (effed?) the ineffable psychedelic experience.
I’m honored to have our study featured https://t.co/gBCwJnusvn
Check out our psilocybin study! Basically, desynchronization of the DMN is the neural equivalent to ego shattering. A huge congratulations to @realJoshSiegel and many thanks to the supportive research community at WashU!
After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a reset of circuits critical to the sense of self.
