A new look at brains transformed by psychedelics

What was the playlist though?

> Volunteers went through the same four-part sequence twice, once sober and once on psilocybin. The sequence included putting participants in four different settings or contexts: eight minutes of lying at rest, a guided meditation, an 11-minute curated music playlist, and finally six minutes of eyes-open video of clouds moving across a sky. Each participant did all four inside an MRI scanner about 80 minutes after dosing, and again on EEG about 150 minutes after.

> Half of the participants ranked their session among the most meaningful experiences of their lives, and 24 put it in their personal top five.

Quite the effect rest, guided meditation, some music and some clouds could have on people, with just a small amount of psilocybin. Would be extra interesting if they do a follow-up in the future, say in 10 years, and see how those people look back at the same event, and what actually ended up changing for them.
