Study compares brain scans during meditation with and without psilocybin

Participants meditated inside an MRI scanner, a machine used to image the brain.

They did this both with and without psilocybin, a psychedelic drug.

The study compares brain activity during meditation under those two conditions.

This setup allows researchers to look at how the brain differs when psilocybin is involved.

The headline describes a new look at how psychedelics transform the brain, but no specific findings are provided here.

No next steps are stated.
