Dr. Cody Wenthur now presenting on the major pre-clinical works that have come out recently

2023 saw the publication of 3 major works! An anthology and 2 monographs.

Now hearing the greatest hits of humanities work within the psychedelics field with the distinguished @LucRichert

In his work understanding the DMT experience he found most studies focus on content but these microphenomenological interview revealed structural features of their experience and trajectories - this allows for better correlation with EEG data which is not possible before.

Now speaking on microphenomenology - the goal here is to “induce a state of evocation of the experience so that the experience is relived” and to “minimize the occurrence of interpretation which may be confabulate to the recollection of the experience”.

A great talk on understanding experience in psychedelic, and an argument for elevating the way in which we study the psychedelic experience phenomenological by @neurodelia

Technical difficulties in the last part of yesterday and early today but we are back!.

Back for a panel on psychedelic humanities with @LucRichert, Dr. Alberto Vargas, Dr. Osiris Gonzalez, Dr. Malissa Frost, Dr. Diana Negrin, Hannah Swan, Dr. Amanda Pratt, and Liz Birkhauser! A very impressive line up.

Very informative talk on archiving and diversity in archives by Dr. Stephanie Schmitz. As an archivist for Psychoactive Research at Purdue University she tells us about the importance of underrepresented voices in the archives and the unique challenges in obtaining such materials

@drdarronsmith amazing talk!.

What a hard hitting slide. Maternal mortality for black women is at 41% compared to white women at 13%. Infant mortality for black babies at 10% compared to 4% for white babies. All numbers are too high IMO but a very signifcant difference here.

“The way we treat eachother goes deeper than the social, it really is biological”.

Race based discrimination alters white matter microstructure which leads to significant connectivity differences.

Now a very poignant talk by Dr. Darron Smith who talks about the effects of racism on the body, and how entheogens can help PTSD based in race related stressors.

Dr. Eduardo Schenberg giving a very eye opening talk about the history and colonization of psychedelics.

Followed by introductions by Dr. Alberto Vargas and Dr. John Dunne!.
