There is a controversial discussion happening at the moment around psilocybin, a key compound found in magic mushrooms capable of sending people on mind-altering trips that often result in visual and auitory hallucinations and dramatic emotional changes. Data shows those suffering from chronic depression or anxiety can actually benefit from small microdoses of the psychedelic, with some even reporting long-term relief. Of course, not everyone agrees.
Created by Radix Motion and Red Light Holland Corp, Wisdom is an educational VR experience designed to explain the effects of magic mushrooms by allowing users to step into a 3D model of the human brain to see exactly how psilocybin changes the way your brain operates within the predictive coding neuroscience framework. It sounds complex, but that’s only because it is.
