As it ran in Shroom Scan

Our brains are as unique as our fingerprints, and inside our brains is a unique map of neural connections that make you you. The concept of brain fingerprinting maps the unique neural pathways of your brain, and scientists published a preprint that showed the moment consciousness was altered during a psychedelic trip. Through brain fingerprinting, it was clear how unique that experience is to each person.
