The Influence of Psilocybin on Subconscious and Conscious Emotional Learning

This double-blind, placebo-controlled study (n=30) investigates the learning effects of psilocybin (up to 20 mg) in a probabilistic cue-reward task with emotional cues. It finds that psilocybin preserves learning effects, is non-inferior to placebo, and suggests higher exploratory behaviour. The 20 mg group showed significantly better learning rates than placebo.

TMS-EEG and resting-state EEG applied to Altered States of Consciousness: Oscillations, Complexity, and Phenomenology

This double-blind cross-over brain imaging study (n=22) of psilocybin combined EEG with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to reveal that psilocybin produces a chaotic pattern of brain activity (versus placebo; LZc complexity under eyes closed). Using TMS, the authors could measure the Perturbational Complexity Index (PCI) due to the stimulation. The difference between psilocybin and placebo on PCI wasn't significant.
