Our article “The Varieties of the Psychedelic Experience“ is finally online: We relate the consciousness-altering properties of psychedelic drugs with their molecular properties. This was made possible by the tools crafted by Sasha Shulgin and by @Erowid.

Some things we do (2/2)

Some things we do (1/2)

Bonus research line: how does emotivity evolve in time under the influence of different drugs? (data from @Erowid), using sentiment analysis tools. Note that only psychedelics finish in a state of more positive emotion than at the beginning of the experience!

Featured research line #4: Inferring the mechanism of action of drugs based on subjective reports from @Erowid - the network of semantic similarity between experiential narratives of Erowid users

Featured research line 3: Disentangling conscious from unconscious unresponsive brain patients (“vegetative“) using neuroimaging investigating the and dynamical flow between states of connectivity.

Featured research line #2: Chemical informatics or “molecular consciousness“. Machine learning algorithms to predict agonism/antagonism at serotonin receptors

The first multimodal neuroimaging study on Vipassana meditation in Argentina: EEG, fMRI, genetics

Feature research line #3: How well expert meditators can perceive their own bodily signals?

Expect research on binocular rivalry coming from the lab soon :)

Recent research from our team: “. to sleep, perchance to trip“. We know more, as a society, about the psychedelic state than we suspect, because we are exposed to dreams on a nightly basis.

Some of the most lucid words ever spoken on LSD and prohibition.
