A single high dose of the psychedelic compound COMP360 (synthetic psilocybin) is safe and effective for some people with treatment-resistant depression, but only after a specific point in the trial. Predicting who will benefit is therefore important. Researchers analyzed transcripts of therapist-patient conversations recorded one day after dosing, using a machine-learning algorithm to measure two dimensions of emotion (arousal and valence) in both speakers. The approach demonstrates a potential method for forecasting treatment outcomes.
