Summary
LSD makes the brain remarkably more responsive to its environment. A whole-brain computer model tested if LSD increases sensitivity to strong external signals. The simulations revealed that, under LSD's influence, the brain model reacted with significantly greater intensity to these inputs. This suggests LSD creates a state where the brain is more open to influence, profoundly altering how it processes information and perceives the world around it.
