The Powers Lab at Yale University is recruiting people who are planning to use a psychedelic this year for a fully online study that measures how psychedelics affect basic perception and learning using brief games and questionnaires!
WHAT THE STUDY INVOLVES:
4-5 ~2 hour (though you can take breaks) sessions at your computer over 1-6 months
Signing a consent form and completing an eligibility survey
For the first session only: 2 extensive Questionnaires about psychedelic and other drug use, mental health, how you think, and any unusual sensory experiences you’ve had.
For all sessions:
A shorter questionnaire about your mental health and sensory experiences.
4 online games (10-25 minutes each)
A few debriefing and quality-control questions.
WHAT YOU GET FOR PARTICIPATION:
$50 via Amazon.com (US) gift card for every timepoint for a total of $250
Helping the medical and scientific community understand the therapeutic and side effects of psychedelics!
WHAT IS NEEDED TO PARTICIPATE:
A Computer (not smartphone or tablet)
Stable internet
Good headphones,
A private, distraction-free space,
Plan and ability to safely use a serotonergic psychedelic (see this list for examples) before October of 2026
No serotonergic or atypical (ketamine/PCP/DXM, MDMA/MDA, salvia, ibogaine, scopolamine, muscimol) psychedelic use in the past 6 weeks
Willingness to abstain from other serotonergic or atypical psychedelic use (besides the single planned session) until the final time point is completed (1 month after your next serotonergic psychedelic use)
No psychoactive drug-use the day of the study (besides nicotine or caffeine or – on your dosing day – the serotonergic psychedelic)
HOW TO START:
Open the link below to the REDCap survey — you’ll start on the consent and automatically move through the screening survey, questionnaires, and games. https://redcap.research.yale.edu/surveys/?s=7AHLLM8MTY9JXW38
