This study has ethical and scientific approval by the Yale University IRB

How do psychedelics affect the brain?

Why do they cause hallucinations and reduce symptoms of mental illness?

The Powers Lab at Yale University is recruiting people who have used psychedelics for a fully online study that measures how psychedelics affect basic perception and learning using brief games and questionnaires!

WHAT THE STUDY INVOLVES:

  • ~2 hours (though you can take breaks) of time at your computer
  • Signing a consent form and completing an eligibility survey
  • 2 Questionnaires about psychedelic and other drug use, mental health, how you think, and any unusual sensory experiences you’ve had.
  • 4 online games (10-25 minutes each)
  • A few debriefing and quality-control questions.
WHAT YOU GET FOR PARTICIPATION:

  • $40 via Amazon gift card or digital US Bank Prepaid Card (emailed) or Prolific account (direct)
  • The ability to participate in another study where you can get an additional $240 — for people who are already planning on using a psychedelic in the future
  • Helping the medical and scientific community understand the therapeutic and side effects of psychedelics!
WHAT IS NEEDED TO PARTICIPATE:

  1. A Computer (not smartphone or tablet)
  2. Stable internet
  3. Good headphones
  4. A private, distraction-free space
  5. Some history of psychedelic use
  6. No same-day psychoactive drug-use (besides nicotine or caffeine)
HOW TO START:

Open the link below to the REDCap survey — you’ll start on the consent and automatically move through the screening survey, questionnaires, and games. https://redcap.research.yale.edu/surveys/?s=7AHLLM8MTY9JXW38
