Psychedelics and Mental Health: Neuroscience of the Self, Other and Human Connection
Please join Dr. Sharmin Ghaznavi, Associate Director and Director of Cognitive Neuroscience for the Center for the Neuroscience of Psychedelics for a unique look into how psychedelics might be used to facilitate positive, lasting changes in the brain that improve how we understand ourselves and relate to others. Individuals with mood and anxiety disorders tend to see themselves and others in a negative light, resulting in loneliness and poor relationships. By incorporating and leveraging knowledge about which brain regions are implicated in self and other related processing and how psychedelics facilitate neuroplasticity in these regions, there is immense potential to transform care and reduce, or even, eradicate suffering.

I think that BP's comment is out of line . True , the first 26 minutes are probably scripted and delivered rather stiltedly ., but nonetheless those 26 minutes contain important , although not novel , information . Some presentations are controversial and contain novelties – even so they can be mediocre . This presentation is not controversial ( at least in my view ) and I believe presents nothing new , but nonetheless gives insight into neuroscience , the self and connectedness . I enjoyed the presentation .
Is this the best Harvard has to offer???
This is the driest…..most disjointed…..noncommittal .intellectual snobbery blibblab i've ever seen. This guy is the head of psychiatry at Harvard? He can't even string together a cogent thought or comment. BUT…..he has his black chair!!!
