The altered state of consciousness induced by Δ9-THC.

Conscious Cogn May 28, 2022 Conor H. Murray, Bhargav Srinivasa Desikan 20 citations

Altered states of consciousness (ASC) provide an opportunity for researchers to study the neurophysiological basis of changes in phenomenal experience. Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive constituent of cannabis, however whether the effects of THC include ASC features that are shared with other ASC induction mechanisms, such as classical psychedelics, has not been...

The entropic tongue: Disorganization of natural language under LSD.

Conscious Cogn December 8, 2020 Camila Sanz, Carla Pallavicini, Facundo Carrillo et al. 34 citations

Serotonergic psychedelics have been suggested to mirror certain aspects of psychosis, and, more generally, elicit a state of consciousness underpinned by increased entropy of on-going neural activity. We investigated the hypothesis that language produced under the effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) should exhibit increased entropy and reduced semantic coherence. Computational analysis...

The neurophenomenology of early psychosis: An integrative empirical study.

Conscious Cogn November 1, 2019 Barnaby Nelson, Suzie Lavoie, Łukasz Gawęda et al. 99 citations

BackgroundThe integration of various domains or levels of analysis (clinical, neurobiological, genetic, etc.) has been a challenge in schizophrenia research. A promising approach is to use the core phenomenological features of the disorder as an organising principle for other levels of analysis. Minimal self-disturbance (fragility in implicit first-person perspective, presence and agency) is...
