Abstract
Psychedelics and AI modulate cognitive frameworks, disrupt rigid thought patterns, and enhance neuroplasticity, offering therapeutic potential for depression, PTSD, and addiction. Relaxing neural filters reveal altered states of consciousness, challenging perceptions of reality. This Viewpoint explores their neurobiological mechanisms and AI's role in augmenting psychiatric treatments.
