ALIUS Research Group

@aliusresearch.org

The ALIUS Research Group was created to study all aspects of consciousness, with a specific focus on unusual or understudied conscious states traditionally classified as Altered States of Consciousness (ASCs). https://www.aliusresearch.org

@qualiari.bsky.social joins ALIUS for a post-ASSC 2025 retreat in Crete, uniting 35 researchers to explore altered states, VR, and consciousness models. Held July 10-14, it’s a unique space for deep collaboration and experimental demos. Apply now. 🔗 www.aliusresearch.org/qualius-retr...

🚨 Hot off the press! 🚨 Our new preprint explores the dose-dependent neural and subjective effects of smoked freebase DMT 🌌 🧠 Insights into brain dynamics 🌟 Phenomenology in focus 📖 Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Full breakdown below [1/20] 👇

Time-resolved neural and experience dynamics of medium- and high-dose DMT

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a potent and fast-acting psychedelic drug that induces a radical reorganisation of the contents of consciousness, comprising the dissolution of time and space and perce...

Alpha power reduction is the most reliable neural signature of the psychedelic state. It has been found to correlate inversely with the intensity of psychedelic-induced visual hallucinations and subjective effects. But what if eye-movements primarily drive these effects?

In December, we are hosting a series of online Journal Club lectures on the "Promises and Pitfalls of Psychedelic Research" and "Neuroscientific Approaches to Researching Altered States of Consciousness" with a variety of speakers. More to follow in January! Here's a 🧵:

I am a research subject in a highly innovative study that will look at whether anesthesia induced dream states can help patients with PTSD. I will explain more as I progress through the initial phase which will optimize dream induction. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38476046/ @theborislab.bsky.social
