What i'm most excited about is that this finding reveals the potential for something like a comparative psychedelic neuroimaging study in the future – a way to use different psychedelics to understand how the human brain generates different types of visual experiences.

These differences suggest to us that the different chemical properties of different psychedelics have meaningful impacts on the perceptual circuitry in the brain.

In particular, in this paper we look at rates of different visual effects across psychedelics, and find that although there is much similarity in the patterns of visual effects across psychedelics, there are actually statistically significant differences in the patterns of their effects.

It uses new AI-based text processing methods (using software from OpenAI) to analyze a very large dataset of psychedelic experience narrative self-report text.
