Panel: Brain Entropy and 5-MeO-DMT

With Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, Dr. Manesh Girn & Tommaso Barba

Our panel discusses what current research is revealing about how 5-MeO-DMT may affect the brain differently from other psychedelics such as N,N-DMT, psilocybin, and LSD.

What you'll learn

  • Why 5-MeO-DMT is associated with profound self-dissolution rather than vivid visual imagery
  • How EEG research is beginning to map 5-MeO-DMT's effects on brain rhythms, including slow-wave, alpha and theta activity
  • Why brain entropy may be better understood as a marker of expanded consciousness than simply "richness" of experience
  • The roles of the serotonin 1A and 2A receptors
  • Nondual states, meditation research and neuroplasticity
  • Therapeutic mechanisms and the clinical potential of 5-MeO-DMT
