NCP Manifest Mind Series welcomes cognitive neuroscientist and philosopher of mind Link Swanson, PhD.
For his lucid work on understanding the psychology of psychedelic drug effects, Dr. Swanson has already received international early-career recognition. Swanson updates the rationalist tradition of Sigmund Freud’s “Project for a Scientific Psychology” discussing the implications of his research into the perceptual effects of the psychedelic drug psilocybin.

In his talk, Dr. Swanson will lay out the connections springing from prescient observations by both Sigmund Freud and Aldous Huxley on mental “filtration.” He will describe those empirical findings and theoretical concepts of mind that help explain how psychedelic medicine participates in the therapeutic process.

Dr. Swanson will appear by Zoom from Minnesota.
