The article describes how ayahuasca alters brain waves to produce intense perceptual and emotional experiences, and how resting brain patterns can predict the strength of these effects. It reports EEG measurements taken before and after ingestion in a controlled trial, linking specific neural activity to subjective experiences and noting potential implications for individualized care. The study also discusses limitations and the influence of environment on psychedelic experiences.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it connects neural dynamics with altered states of consciousness, perception, emotion, and thought patterns, offering insights into how brain activity shapes subjective experience and potential implications for mental health treatment.

I want to be clear about where I stand. I support classic psychedelics like psilocybin, psilocin, Mescaline, LSD, and also cannabis, not because I think everyone should use them, but because I believe in the freedom of consciousness.

This isn’t a war on drugs; it’s a war on consciousness itself. The stigma surrounding psychedelics has been built and reinforced by decades of fear-based media and institutional control. Simply talking about these substances bout to send some people on the Fediverse into outrage, which says more about the conditioning than about the substances themself.

I am proudly pro-psychedelics. For those struggling with depression, PTSD, or deep emotional wounds, these tools, when used with respect and proper guidance, can offer genuine healing. They can also serve as a way for anyone seeking to explore the layers of their own ego and understand themselves on a deeper level.

But as we know, society and cultures often treat altered states of mind as something dangerous, when in reality, they are among humanity’s oldest pathways to growth, connection, and awakening.
