Merged summary

TL;DR - Psilocybin appears not merely to disrupt neural activity, but to reorganize brain dynamics in ways that align with a person’s environment and experiences. This suggests psychedelic effects are strongly shaped by context.

  • The reported work examines how psilocybin changes brain activity.
  • Neural dynamics become more attuned to external context and personal experience.
  • The finding offers a mechanistic perspective on why environmental setting may influence psychedelic experiences.
