This image from this paper shows 5-MEO-DMT induced spiral waves in slow EEG (Earl and others have shown). It resembles the Gaudi brain logo from Barcelona TSC, and Anirban’s projected vortices from microtubules inside all those neurons. Is psychedelic state ‘fractalization’ ?
A psychedelic drug disorganizes cortical traveling waves. Groovy work.

"Ultimately, language is both an enhancement and a constraint, a double-edged sword that structures thought while simultaneously obscuring other modes of being."

#Wellbeing in the 🧠?
👋 We show that #wellbeing, like other high-level constructs, e.g., ‘language’, is fundamentally a dynamic, wholebrain process, with big-ol' individual differences, supported by distinct networks. 🧠 🗣️ 🫀
Amazing work from the formidable @YumengMa89. 🥂

Ever wondered what happens in the brain when someone takes the world’s most powerful psychedelic drug?🧐Me too! So we went and found out.
Our new preprint is now live where you can read all about it:

For a sneak peek, we thoroughly recommend checking out Jeremy’s (@thelablab) recent and very entertaining interview with @LeorRoseman on the topics of language, consciousness and psychedelics ❣️
Basically, I have a crush on Jeremy Skipper, and I think it is mutual. So I interviewed him for @aliusresearch. We had a great scattered chat for three hours. @GeorgeFejer and @MatthieuKL edited it to something meaningful and it came out really stimulating and fun... and funny @thelablab @PsychedelicUNIT
Now I hope he will interview me
