TerhuneLukas A. Basedowhttps://www.mind-foundation.org/blog/pt/microdosing-time-perceptionThis article delves into a groundbreaking study featured on MIND’s ASC Study Monitor, a comprehensive database of research on altered states of consciousness (ASCs). The study in focus is "The Effects of Microdose LSD on Time Perception" by Yanakieva et al. (2019), published in Psychopharmacology. The interview with one of the authors, Devin, sheds light on the motivation behind studying altered states, including hallucinations, hypnosis, and psychedelics. Devin's background in philosophy and neuroscience laid the foundation for his interest in time perception, inspired by Martin Heidegger's work. The study investigated the impact of microdosing LSD on time perception, building upon previous research on psilocybin's effects. Contrary to expectations, participants tended to over-reproduce time intervals under LSD microdosing, particularly at 10 micrograms. This finding challenges earlier studies showing under-reproduction with psilocybin. Possible interpretations of the results include late-phase dopaminergic effects or Bayesian models of interval timing, suggesting a down-weighting of priors. Despite discrepancies with previous studies, the findings offer valuable insights into the effects of microdosing on consciousness. Devin emphasizes the need for cautious interpretation and urges skepticism towards claims of psychological benefits of microdosing. He advocates for evidence-based research to better understand the therapeutic and cognitive implications of microdosing. Looking ahead, Devin envisions future studies examining dosage effects and exploring additional dimensions of consciousness. He advises students interested in altered states to seek passionate supervisors and maintain a balanced research portfolio. In summary, this article highlights the complexities of microdosing LSD and its implications for time perception, encouraging further scientific inquiry into this intriguing phenomenon.
