About the study
Researchers at NYUSOM are conducting a trial that
investigates the effects and possible utility of psilocybinfacilitated experiences for professional religious leaders.
Researchers believe that religious professionals, given their
interests, training, and life experience, will be able to make
nuanced discriminations of their psilocybin experiences,
thus contributing to the scientific understanding of the
mystical type experience.
