University of California, Berkeley

The UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics (BCSP) is an academic center uniquely focused on basic science, training, and public education. Rather than focusing solely on clinical trials for psychopathology, the BCSP employs psychedelics to better understand the fundamental properties of the healthy mind, brain, and body. The center investigates how brain function is affected by psychedelics, focusing on the relationships among perception, motor learning, emotion, and neurobiology.
