Berkeley University
UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics (BCSP), founded in September 2020 by a multidisciplinary faculty group including neuroscientist Michael Silver and author Michael Pollan, conducting psilocybin research into cognition, perception, emotion, and their neural bases in the human brain. BCSP's four pillars of basic science, journalism, culture, and community have established it as a leading interdisciplinary hub for psychedelic research and public engagement, producing The Microdose newsletter and a global clinical trials map.
