Study Summary

This open-label pilot psilocybin administration study investigates the influence of psilocybin on brain function and cognitive control functions in clinically and psychiatrically healthy volunteers. Participants will undergo experimental drug administration sessions after careful screening and preparation. Participants will also have brain activity measured using electroencephalogram (EEG) also during non-invasive brain stimulation using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Primary Outcome

Change in the amplitudes of inhibitory event-related potentials (ERPs), specifically the N45 and N100 components, from baseline to peak acute subjective effects (\~1.5 hours post-psilocybin administration) will be calculated. This is a continuous variable expressed in microvolts (µV), derived from EEG recordings.
