Summary

This study tests a 21-day digital program that uses either meditation or music to prepare healthy volunteers for a supervised psilocybin session. Forty people will be randomly assigned to one of the two preparation methods. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and easy to follow, not to measure health benefits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Psilocybin (25 mg single dose)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a scalable digital tool to help people prepare for psychedelic therapy, potentially improving safety and outcomes.
What could go wrong: This is a very early feasibility study with only 40 healthy volunteers. It is not designed to measure therapeutic effects, and results may not apply to patient populations.
