First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This observational study at Yale University is recruiting 200 people who are already taking part in another trial where they may receive a serotonergic psychedelic (like psilocybin or LSD) or a placebo. Researchers want to understand how these substances change the brain's information processing, such as reliance on new versus old information, and electrical activity. Participants will complete computer tasks, brain scans (MEG/EEG/MRI), and interviews to track these changes over time.
