As a hopefully welcome interruption from the riotous IIT discourse on your timeline; my FIRST preprint is out now! Let’s take a minute to think about how the brain does time : biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🧵 1/14

What does the earth sound like? I built a tool that lets you drag a needle across any landscape on Earth like a record player, and hear and export it as audio. Free to use here: earthsounds.xyz

We're still recruiting healthy participants for psilocybin study! If you have 3-5 lifetime psychedelic experiences, minimal meditation experience, and can commit to a 21-day prep course with visits to UCL over a 4-week period, we want to hear from you! psychedelicunit.com/dipp-pre…

How can 2C-B 💊contribute to psychedelic neuroscience, an otherwise "forgotten" psychedelic? We went off with @singletonion ,@NL_Mason , @sattertt and Jan to take an initial look at this using 7T resting state fMRI. 👇 doi.org/10.1101/2024.10.22.6…

Very excited to see this out - I think this will go down as a big moment in our understanding of psychedelic neuroscience. There's also quite a bit more cool stuff in the pipeline, so give @rhizoqualia a follow to stay in the loop. Watch this space...
Ever wondered what happens in the brain when someone takes the world’s most powerful psychedelic drug?🧐Me too! So we went and found out. Our new preprint is now live where you can read all about it: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

absolutely fizzing about the 5-MeO-DMT EEG study preprint published today. singularities/topological defect endurance reduced in cortical dynamics – very similar to the phenomenology observed by the QRI HEART team @rhizoqualia
Replying to @cube_flipper
in short, i believe that where classical psychedelics engender a 5-HT2A receptor mediated *active coping* response, 5-MeO-DMT engenders a 5-HT1A receptor mediated *passive coping* response. this is experienced subjectively as a "disentangling" of the phenomenal fields heart.qri.org/retreats/2023-…

V happy that this study is now published in @eLife with nice reviews and a wonderful editorial assessment. Quantifying multimodal context (of spoken language) in naturalistic stimuli is not an easy task, but we hope this can provide some inspiration. 🧵elifesciences.org/reviewed-p…

Excited for this chapter by Ravi Das and me (yes, the reference will be Doss & Das) on pharmacology and episodic memory to be out and appear in the Encyclopedia of the Human Brain. Much love to the editor @CharanRanganath for asking me to write this. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 1/5

Thank you, Japan 🇯🇵, and thank you, @ASSC27tokyo @theASSC ! 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to all the amazing souls who engaged with my poster on Reddit data mining for insights into the phenomenology of mystical experiences using BIG data. 🧠✨ This trip holds a special place in my heart. Growing up in Japan as a little girl and now returning as an adult researcher to the University of Tokyo is truly powerful. 🌸👩‍🔬 Linking life’s lineages and closing the circle... #ASSC #Neuroscience #Japan #Research #Phenomenology #BigData

This is what the English 'countryside', as seen from a train, looks like. Because it's green, I guess things look good. But look how empty of wildlife it is. Not a single bird visible. Not one. Massive swathes of our 'countryside' are just devoid of animals.

For a sneak peek, we thoroughly recommend checking out Jeremy’s (@thelablab) recent and very entertaining interview with @LeorRoseman on the topics of language, consciousness and psychedelics ❣️ x.com/LeorRoseman/status/178…

Basically, I have a crush on Jeremy Skipper, and I think it is mutual. So I interviewed him for @aliusresearch. We had a great scattered chat for three hours. @GeorgeFejer and @MatthieuKL edited it to something meaningful and it came out really stimulating and fun... and funny @thelablab @PsychedelicUNIT Now I hope he will interview me
