PODCAST

Psychedelic research: the what, why and how

Published: 4th Apr. 2025

This podcast with guest speaker Kim Kuypers, the Netherlands, and host Ilse Graat, the Netherlands, is part of the Brains On Brains podcast series from ECNP.

The use of psychedelics in the treatment of psychiatric disorders has been receiving widespread attention from the nonprofessional and scientific community for the last few years. The practice of taking a small, non-psychedelic dose of LSD or psilocybin to improve particular behaviour, emotions, or a psychiatric condition is claimed to be effective by its users. In this podcast Ilse Graat, the Netherlands, interviews Kim Kuypers, the Netherlands, on her path towards psychedelics, discussing where this young research field stands and where it is heading, including new research on microdosing yet to be explored.
