What a blissful psychedelic trip looks like inside the brain |
Magic mushrooms and other psychedelics profoundly disturb human perception and consciousness. The everyday world dissolves into an extraordinary dreamscape of patterns, color, and light. Many studies of what this looks like in the brain have found that structural network connections are scrambled, order breaks down, and chaos rules. |
But now, a team of Australian researchers using machine learning to identify hidden statistical anomalies, found that at the single person level, the shape of the psychedelic experience is governed by certain personality traits, such as openness to experience and absorption. It’s also shaped by context, such as what kind of activity the person is engaged in while tripping. |
The scientists are hopeful that the finding could help make psychedelic therapies more tailored to individuals. |
