In this paper led by @madelinestein.bsky.social we outline how suggestion effects can act as a salient confound in psychedelic experiments/trials (eg one certain NEJM trial ... see paper). We also note how suggestion effects can be harnessed in valuable ways in this domain.
@devinterhune.bsky.social and I have a new invited paper out in the #IJCEH. if you're interested in #psychedelics, #hypnosis, #suggestion, #placebo or #nocebo effects—this is worth a read 🤓

Out today! We conducted a multi-level meta-analysis that included ~400 effect sizes, allowing us to make fine-grain distinctions between different nocebo induction methods. In particular, we were meticulous when defining different types and modes of suggestions. Hope you enjoy!! tinyurl.com/mwmeetuz
