Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, alters perception and induces hallucinations. In this preprint, we show through visual illusions, fMRI and modeling that psilocybin affects contextual computations, a potentially general mechanism of psychedelics.

Psilocybin alters visual contextual computations
Psilocybin alters perception and brain dynamics. Contextual computations are ubiquitous in the brain. Here, we investigate the effects of psilocybin using psychophysics, ultra-high field functional MR...

Does the culture you grow up in shape the way you see the world? In a new Psych Review paper, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I tackle this centuries-old question using the Müller-Lyer illusion as a case study. Come think through one of history's mysteries with us🧵(1/13):

Work from a while back is finally out!
Grief touches most of us, and as Joshua Thomas wrote, it can feel like shattered glass. This study on prolonged grief and the “approach-avoidance hypothesis” shows stronger grief symptoms link to persistent focus on the deceased.

Prolonged grief symptoms and lingering attachment predict approach behavior toward the deceased
Following the death of a loved one, both approach behaviors related to the deceased (i.e., engagement with feelings, memories, and/or reminders of the deceased) and the avoidance of reminders of the ....
