Psilocybin is a naturally occurring classic psychedelic associated with widespread changes in brain function and promising therapeutic outcomes in several neuropsychiatric disorders. Complementing these findings, qualitative studies following psilocybin administration have revealed diverse and highly individual effects across multiple domains of subjective experience. However, little is known...

Consciousness research often asks where, when, or under what conditions neural processing becomes conscious. Here I introduce the Distributed Architecture of Valenced Evaluation (DAVE), which starts from a different premise. Nervous systems continuously represent states in terms of what those states imply for the organism, and these evaluations are physically instantiated in dispositions that...

The rapid growth of empirical research on altered states of consciousness, the psychology of meditation and, over the last decade, psychedelic science has turned reliable measures of mystical experience into a key research instrument, whereas Ukrainian psychology still lacks both a systematic review of this toolkit and Ukrainian-language adaptations of the leading instruments. The aim of the...

Stroboscopic light stimulation (SLS) and psilocybin each induce altered states whose phenomenology and neurophysiology partly overlap, including posterior alpha-band changes and visual imagery. The two states engage the alpha band through different operations - pharmacological suppression under psilocybin and frequency-selective visual drive under SLS. We formalize their possible interaction...

It has long been embedded in Nepalese medicinal and ritual practices but has recently become part of global psychedelic discourse. This study examined how globally circulating discourse and local...

This study analyzed the clinical presentation, emergency stabilization strategies, and...
