9/ Crucially, the strength of mystical & transformative experiences correlated with next-day mindset changes. More unity, bliss, and insight predicted greater psychological adaptation.

8/ Embeddedness: We propose a new framework to understand psychedelics' effects—when sensory and associative brain regions integrate rather than segregate, neural activity aligns with the environment, reducing the distinction between self and world.

7/ Our EEG findings supported this: Psilocybin expanded the power spectrum, decreasing alpha and beta power while increasing gamma. This aligns with enhanced neural flexibility and entropy. ⚡

6/ Psychedelics don’t just increase connectivity randomly—they align neural activity with context. Whether resting, listening to music, or watching a movie, brain dynamics adapt to the environment.

5/ Participants who reported profound transformations in self-boundaries and perception had the most structured brain activity under psilocybin. The more meaningful the trip, the more organized the neural response.

4/ Using machine learning, we showed that psilocybin restructured neural activity into more cohesive, context-driven patterns. Stronger mystical & boundary-dissolving experiences led to more structured neural representations.

3/ Connectivity shifted: Associative brain regions became more integrated, while sensory areas became less connected. This might explain the profound self-boundary effects reported. 🌌

2/ We found that under psilocybin, the brain’s activity during eyes-closed conditions became more like eyes-open states. This means the brain integrates internal and external signals more fluidly.

🧵 How do psychedelics shape brain activity?
Our new paper presents the largest neuroimaging study of psilocybin to date—revealing how context structures psychedelic brain states.

Had a blast with CIFAR buddies in Cancun. It was great fun and an exciting science program. Got to meet so many new students during the Winter School on Consciousness.

Rosalind Picard keynote
“How to optimise what matters most”
What are the optimal criteria as we invent the future of AI? She explores this question with a series of stories including the development of affective computing, inspired by how the human brain uses emotion to help signal what matters.
