After a long and controversial hiatus, neuroscientific inquiry into effects of psychedelics on consciousness and conscious experience has resurged in recent years. Although there is still much to explore, qualitative scientific data has been emerging from various controlled labs. In this talk, Professor Seth unpacks the relationship between psychedelic drugs and conscious level.
