Manesh is a PhD candidate in Neuroscience at McGill University and has been lead or co-author on over a dozen scientific publications and book chapters on topics including psychedelics, meditation, daydreaming, and the default-mode network.

His PhD dissertation focuses on the default-mode network and he is also conducting research on the brain mechanisms underlying LSD, psilocybin, and DMT in collaboration with Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris and others from the Imperial College London Center for Psychedelic Research.

In his free time, he also runs a YouTube channel - called The Psychedelic Scientist - where he discusses the latest findings in psychedelic science in an easy to understand, but non-superficial, form.

In this episode, Beth and Manesh Girn speak about ...

• The similarities between the effects of psilocybin, LSD and DMT
• How DMT temporarily overwhelms our brain's usual way of perceiving reality
• The possibility that psychedelics may be able to heal us on an epigenetic level
• The utility of psychedelics across a variety of mental health challenges
• How psychedelics can enhance the lives of healthy people
• How psychedelics affect thinking, emotion, creativity, memory, attention and behavior
• Psychedelics as a part of a holistic program of personal development
• The challenge of integrating powerful insights from psychedelic experiences
• Psychedelics and the default mode network
