Mounting research suggests that psychedelics, used in a controlled psychotherapy setting, have the potential to alleviate conditions that don’t respond to conventional drugs and therapy and may help neuroscientists interrogate the neural basis of consciousness, by using advanced imaging techniques to map changes in brain activity and chemistry to altered perception, moods and perspective.
