MEG study: LSD speeds up brain rhythms and makes activity more fractal
karimjerbineuro · x · 2026-10-24
A MEG study covered by Nautilus found that, beyond cortical desynchronization, LSD speeds up alpha/beta brain rhythms and increases the fractal dimension of neural activity, with patterns repeating across timescales. The findings suggest psychedelics reconfigure brain dynamics rather than merely dampening control regions. (Image: a Mandelbrot fractal illustrating the fractal concept.)
