In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how personally meaningful, autobiographically salient music compares to standardized playlists when combined with psilocybin in healthy adults ages 21 to 75. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does autobiographically salient music lead to stronger emotional responses to music, greater acute subjective effects, and more lasting improvements in mood, affect, and well-being compared to standardized or ambient playlists? How are brain and body responses - including EEG activity, respiration, heart rate, and skin conductance - influenced by autobiographically salient music under psilocybin? Do brain and body responses to specific music features differ when the music is autobiographically salient compared to non-salient playlists? Researchers will compare five music conditions: three conditions where an 80-minute block of autobiograph
