Can virtual reality help with psychedelic research?

  • Study HIC#:2000038121
  • Last Updated:02/19/2025

The purpose of the study is to compare the subjective experience of DeepDream, an immersive virtual reality simulation of psychedelics (VRP), to the experience created by a standard dose of psychedelics. Participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires describing their subjective experiences after viewing both a non-psychedelic VR video and two VRP videos. Participation involves a phone screening, medical evaluation, and a remote follow-up. Total estimated compensation is up to $200.
