1st mobile phone based study tracking longitudinal changes in language & voice for #psychedelics ☎️🗣️⏲️🪷: We find 5-MeO-DMT induces a shift from external focus to introspection, predicting psychological transformations, e.g., in #wellbeing ❤️🩹.

Our new paper - the first peer-reviewed brain and phenomenological examination of 5-MeO-DMT is out in Neuro of Consciousness.
TLDR: We tested whether ‘the mount Everest’ of psychedelics could induce a complete state of consciousness deconstruction while preserving awareness. 1/n
