Employing Synergistic Interactions of Virtual Reality and Psychedelics in Neuropsychopharmacology

This theory-building paper (2018) proposes the benefits of integrating virtual reality (VR) experiences with psychedelics in order to provide the most effective intervention for certain mental health disorders. The authors discuss three main benefits of integrating these interventions: 1) increases in the efficacy of each individual intervention, 2) increases in specificity and 3) the therapeutic effect can be achieved while using lower doses of a given psychedelic.
