The second Floatation-REST study from my @IGPP_Freiburg lab as @PsyArXiv preprint, with Iraklis Pantazis. Participants report a stronger feeling of afterglow as measured with an afterglow inventory, more state mindfulness, and more interoceptive awareness osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/4n…

I am looking forward to discussing the paper! Thanks to @aliusresearch for the opportunity and @GeorgeFejer for hosting.
Join our next Journal Club, where @LarryDFort and @Titoschmi will present their recently published work on "Classification Schemes for Altered States of Consciousness" doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/pmuq… RSVP here: aliusresearch.org/classifica…

📣Preprint! “Classification Schemes of Altered States of Consciousness” osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/pm… | @costines, @marcwittmann, @ADemertzi, @Titoschmi #psychedelics #alteredstates #consciousness We review 22 ASC classification schemes, proposing eight clusters of experience. A🧵:

7/8 Our clustering analysis suggests the start of a phenomenological state-space model to encapsulate experiences under ASCs which can assist in the identification of NCCs. Our work may assist in reducing redundancy in ASC investigation by synthesizing conceptual groundwork.

Great commentary by @singletonion and @amykooz on our recent #psychedelics paper! Totally agree that simultaneous EEG-fMRI can help disentangle neural and neurovascular effects to better understand the neural background of the psychedelic state. More work to be done!
My comment with @amykooz on the recent (and very nice) psilocybin fMRI paper by @SMortaheb & @ADemertzi is now live. TLDR: the global signal debate continues! biologicalpsychiatrycnni.org…

This was a great talk, wonderfully presented. Highly anticipating the preprint. Its adjacent opinion paper is already out: academic.oup.com/nc/article/… Fascinating work 👏
Was a pleasure to present my work this afternoon on using compuational models to investigate psychedelics as a treatment for DoC. Preprint soon @ASSC27tokyo @theASSC #ASSC27

Happy to have presented a bit of our work with Dr. Timo Schmidt in our tutorial The Empirical Study of Altered States of Consciousness: Recommendations for Standards in the Psychometric Assessment of Altered Subjective Experiences. Thanks to ASSC27 for allowing this opportunity.
