A complex systems perspective on psychedelic brain action

This commentary (2023) discusses the potential transdiagnostic efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapy and its impact on brain function. It proposes that psychedelics induce a mode of brain function that is more dynamically flexible, diverse, integrated, and tuned for information sharing, which is consistent with greater criticality, and suggests that a complexity science perspective may help in understanding the inconsistencies in previous findings and guide towards compelling mechanistic models.

By focusing on the experience (phenomenology; e.g. interviews) and combining it with neurophysiological measures, a rich explanatory framework could emerge.
