Psychedelics: effects on the human brain (TED)

Pat Macpherson, Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation) (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Psychedelics: effects on the human brain and physiology | TEDxVarna brain
(TEDx Talks, 12/21/16) The fast-paced talk by Simeon Keremedchiev examines modern research on how psychedelics affect the human brain and consciousness. It focuses on the magic (psilocybin) mushroom and examines key scientific findings on its effects. There are details about the short- and long-term effects of entheogens (psychedelic or "mind illuminating" substances). The talk seeks to outline the potential these substances have in the medical field and self-development.

Simeon Keremedchiev comes from a legal background. His interest in human consciousness in different scientific disciplines led him to attaining a degree in psychology. He is currently involved in the development and launch of a comprehensive online informational platform directed at self-development, human consciousness, and conscious living. His work gravitates toward the genetic potential that lies within the human genome and our innate ability to unlock it.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
