INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH
With international researchers from a wide variety of academic disciplines, this two-day event will be dedicated to scientific research into psychedelic substances and the psychedelic experience. The 2012 Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelics Research will feature current research into a wide array of psychotropic substances, such as psilocybin, LSD, ayahuasca, ibogaine, DMT, ketamine, MDMA, Salvia divinorum and even nitrous oxide.
Researchers will present the results of their studies into the inner workings of the brain under the influence of psilocybin and LSD. In addition to this neuroscientific approach to psychedelics, our conference will also address the broader sociocultural – and philosophical – context in which this research takes place, and the implications of the presented results will be discussed. What do these findings mean for the treatment of conditions such as PTSD, depression, addiction and autism? New therapeutic possibilities will be explored, while old treatment options will be reviewed and readdressed. From psychopharmacological research in humans to the phenomenology of altered states of consciousness, ICPR will be a continuation of our 2010 conference –Mind Altering Science.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research is organised for all those with a serious interest in psychedelic research.
We have invited therapists, researchers, addiction experts and academics, as well as students (Bachelor/Master/PhD) in the fields of psychology, medicine, biology and pharmacology to become acquainted with a field of research that regular university curricula barely touch upon. This is not to say that students of other disciplines are not able to relate to the subject matter and gain fascinating insights into new scientific territories. We hope to get all attendants to learn something new. Psychedelic research has a strong multidisciplinary character, which is reflected both in the audience as well as in the speakers, who all come from their own background and whose lectures demonstrate the inherent multifaceted nature of psychedelics research.
TICKET PRICES AND OTHER INFORMATION
More information on lecturers, themes, tickets and other practical information will be placed online soon. Keep an eye out on both this facebook page and the OPEN site for news on psychedelic research, videos of previous events, scientific papers and books.
