Real-Time Neuroimaging and Neurophysiological Correlates of the DMT Experience

Record summary

DMT neuroimaging studies recorded brain activity during an intense, short-duration psychedelic state and compared subjective reports with changes in large-scale neural dynamics. Although the principal work was conducted outside North America, it is a well-defined modern consciousness lead often compared with North American psychedelic and exceptional-experience research. Participants may report entity encounters or apparently autonomous environments, but these reports are phenomenological data, not evidence that independently existing entities were contacted. Protocol, infusion timing, sample size, and scanner constraints require direct verification.
