The Science Of Psychedelics With Maria Balaet
Psychedelic drugs have a tumultuous history. Indigenous communities have used them for healing and visionary experiences for thousands of years. More recently, they were discovered by the Western society and became central to social and artistic movements in the 1960’s... before being banned worldwide. Now psychedelics are back in the spotlight and entering the mainstream, with clinical trials exploring their therapeutic use for mental health disorders like depression, anxiety and addiction. Groundbreaking science has uncovered that these substances have effects on the brain, affecting connectivity patterns that govern day-to-day functioning. This talk will cover the key findings coming from contemporary research with psychedelics, and hint at what is next in store for psychedelic science and the potential impact on society at large... Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat! Follow us on IG @seedtalks Dr Maria Balaet is a computational neuroscientist based at King's College London. Her work sits at the interface between machine learning and neuroscience and aims to understand human intelligence, neurodegeneration, sleep and the effects of commonly used recreational drugs such as psychedelics on the human brain. She holds a PhD in Clinical Medicine from Imperial College London and shares regular updates about her work on X @emmsskyyy. Presented by Seed Talks This is an 18+ eventRead more
