Hello and welcome to Under the Skin from Luminary. This week I spoke with Nicholas Glynos,

Vice President of the Student Association for Psychedelic Studies and Co-Founder of the

Psychedelic Neuroscience and Therapy for the University of Michigan. His work is focused on

DMT, which if you don't know, is a substance that takes another dimension. By the way,

I don't know, I don't know, it's a dual stroke, it's currently illegal and I would never take it.

I don't take drugs. I haven't phrased it. In this part, we took out the neurological picture of

the brain when DMT has been administered, thoughts, mental time travel and planning, the many ways to

measure the brain under psychedelics, the challenge of remaining present when stimulated by states

of fear and distractions. Essentially, I try to get into the idea that spirituality is and

is not a successful route. That's exactly right. We're in this era where it turns out we were never

the bus. That's the little black night. What's beneath the surface of people with my ideas that

define our time, the history we're told? Welcome to Russell Brand. And of this game.

Is it true that when you observe the brain of someone who's had DMT administered,

there is not more neurological activity but less? Depending on which areas you look in,

so a lot of the research has shown these regions called the default mode network,

which has been attributed to thoughts of mind wandering, mental time travel, planning,

preparation, things like that. That brain network seems to be subdued and activity seems to be

reduced. There's more than a dozen, there's several ways to measure the brain, to image the
