Psilocybin Data Map

PsiConnect released the largest single-site psilocybin neuroimaging dataset to date, with 62 first-time psychedelic users scanned before and after a 19 mg dose. Participants completed brain scans during rest, meditation, music, and movie watching, with EEG, MRI, mental health, personality, mindfulness, and psychedelic-effect measures tracked up to 12 months. There are no treatment results yet, but this gives researchers the data needed to test how setting, music, meditation, and brain connectivity shape the psychedelic experience.
