What Octopuses Teach Us About MDMA: Our Interview With Gül Dölen | ICPR2024

Psychedelics are the master keys to unlocking hidden potentials in our brains, claims Gül Dölen, a Turkish-American neuroscientist and professor at UC Berkeley.


Most of my readers have probably seen colourful brain scan images that aim to represent changes in brain activity corresponding to the altered perception and cognition associated with psychedelic use. But can we really say that these regional changes in the brain fully explain the often highly sophisticated, and sometimes indescribable, visions people experience under the influence of psychedelics? Gül Dölen casts doubt on this theory. Her groundbreaking MDMA studies with octopuses demonstrate that we need to find another explanatory mechanism. Filmed at the Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research (ICPR) 2024 in Haarlem, The Netherlands.
