What if a therapist could peer inside the black box of a patient’s psychedelic experience?
<a href="https://gazzaley.com/">Adam Gazzaley</a> and his <a href="https://neuroscape.ucsf.edu/">Neuroscape</a> team at UCSF are using multimodal biosensing research to make that dream a reality.
On the show, Adam explains the concept of experiential medicine and how the brain modifies itself in response to different experiences. He shares his previous work creating a video game that is also a class two medical device for ADHD. He relates his long inquiry with shamans and therapists to understand how to design set and setting research studies. We explore the future of psychedelic therapy with a data-rich AI assistant and the potential concerns therapists might have about being replaced by innovative technology. Finally, Adam shares a powerful message to psychedelic healers and those who aspire to be.
