Journal of Music Therapy March 1, 1972 C. T. Eagle 14 citations
Listening to music while under the influence of LSD alters the subjective experience of the music, with participants reporting heightened emotional and sensory responses compared to listening without the drug. The study observed that LSD enhanced the perceived intensity, meaning, and emotional impact of musical passages, particularly for classical and improvisational pieces. No negative or null effects were noted in the reported findings.
