About the study

This study investigates the cognitive effects of long-term ayahuasca use among members of the Santo Daime church in Brazil, focusing on experienced users (over 20 years of use) and comparing them to beginner users (less than 3 years of use) and a control group of non-users. Participants underwent various cognitive assessments, including tests for intelligence, working memory, visual perception, and executive functions. The goal was to determine whether prolonged ritualistic use of ayahuasca has any negative or positive impact on cognitive function.
