The psychedelic DMT causes the brain to become hyperconnected, scans reveal​

A new study provides the most detailed look at brains on psychedelics to date.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Researchers gave 20 healthy subjects potent, intravenous doses of the psychedelic DMT and observed their brains with both functional MRI and electroencephalography.
• They witnessed the brain's business-like hierarchical organization collapse, replaced with a state of global hyperconnectivity. Brain entropy, defined as "the number of neural states a given brain can access," skyrocketed.
• It's commonly said that our perception of reality is constructed by the brain. DMT and psychedelics in general make this abundantly clear.

N,N-dimethyltryptamine, more commonly known as DMT, is one of the most powerful psychedelics known to humankind.

Imagine if you will - you sign up for a hallucinogenic research trial. Sounds like fun. You get there and they tell you that you are getting a dmt iv. Then they tell you, oh yea you get the iv then you have to lay on this thing while we send you into this black hole.

You can knock them out with benzos or Haldol.

Of course then it begs the question about what made the hyperconnectivity...

My previous research provides strong indication that it wouldn’t be the benzos.
