Centre for Psychedelic Research, Imperial College London
Research Institution in London, International
The Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London is the world's leading academic psychedelic research institution, directed by Robin Carhart-Harris. The center has produced more peer-reviewed psychedelic research publications than any other single institution, including foundational neuroimaging studies using fMRI and MEG, clinical trials for depression and end-of-life anxiety, and theoretical frameworks like the REBUS model of psychedelic action and the entropic brain hypothesis. Carhart-Harris and colleagues have fundamentally advanced understanding of both the neuroscience of the psychedelic state and its therapeutic applications.
