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.
