LSD-induced increase of Ising temperature and algorithmic complexity of brain dynamics.

PLoS Computational Biology – February 23, 2023

Summary

Psychedelics like LSD may enhance brain complexity by pushing it into a more disordered state. Analyzing fMRI data, researchers found that LSD increases the Ising temperature of brain dynamics, indicating greater disorder and reduced interhemispheric connectivity. This shift suggests a unique brain state that fosters creativity and insight.

Abstract

A topic of growing interest in computational neuroscience is the discovery of fundamental principles underlying global dynamics and the self-organi...
