Summary
A novel psychedelic compound inspired by ayahuasca affects how our brains process self-recognition. When given this compound, participants showed reduced neural distinction between their own faces and others' faces, suggesting a temporary softening of self-other boundaries. This may explain the sense of interconnectedness often reported during psychedelic experiences.
