[QUOTE="PoisonApple, post: 232601, member: 5928"] (I wasn't sure where to put this one, feel free to move it [USER=1]@Num7[/USER] ) [ATTACH type="full"]14357[/ATTACH] Psychedelic drugs, like psilocybin, an ingredient found in so-called magic mushrooms, have shown promise in treating a range of addictions and mental health disorders. Yet, there’s something mysterious and almost mystical about their effects, and they are commonly believed to provide unique insights into the nature of consciousness. Now, a new study by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers addresses the question of whether psychedelics might change the attribution of consciousness to a range of living and nonliving things. The findings, published March 28 in Frontiers in Psychology, reveal that higher ratings of mystical type experiences, which often include a sense that everything is alive, were associated with greater increases in the attribution of consciousness. “This study demonstrates that when beliefs change following a psychedelic experience, attributions of consciousness to various entities tend to increase,” says Sandeep Nayak, M.D., postdoctoral research fellow at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research and one of the researchers involved in the study. “It's not clear why, whether that might be an innate drug effect, cultural factors or whether psychedelics might somehow expose innate cognitive biases that attribute features of the mind to the world.” READ FULL ARTICLE: [URL="https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/newsroom/news-releases/new-johns-hopkins-study-explores-relationship-between-psychedelics-and-consciousness"]New Johns Hopkins Study Explores Relationship Between Psychedelics and Consciousness[/URL] [/QUOTE]
