Common neural signatures of psychedelics: Frequency-specific energy changes and repertoire expansion revealed using connectome-harmonic decomposition.

Prog Brain Res October 25, 2018 Selen Atasoy, Jakub Vohryzek, Gustavo Deco et al. 67 citations

Psychedelics produce distinct brain activity patterns characterized by frequency-specific energy changes and an expanded repertoire of functional states, as revealed through connectome-harmonic decomposition. These neural signatures suggest that psychedelics increase the brain's flexibility and diversity of activity, which may underlie their therapeutic benefits for mental health.

Embodied empathy and abstract concepts' concreteness: Evidence from contemplative practices.

Prog Brain Res March 14, 2023

Engaging in contemplative practices such as mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation enhances the ability to empathize with others' bodily experiences and makes abstract concepts feel more concrete. The findings suggest that these practices strengthen embodied simulation processes, which in turn support more vivid and tangible understanding of abstract ideas.
