Nowadays we hear a lot of claims being made about how psychedelics affect the default-mode network.
These claims often unequivocally link the default mode network to ego-dissolution, and claim that disrupting the default mode network is central to the therapeutic effects of these drugs.
The thing is, however, the research doesn't really directly support either of these things...
Specifically, the two claims I critique and debunk in this video are:
(1) Default mode network disintegration = ego-dissolution
(2) Disrupting the DMN causes the brain to 'reset'
Hopefully this allows you to appreciate how we are really still in the infancy of psychedelic research and are only scratching the surface of our understanding.
