City Art & Lectures presents
The Science of Psychedelics
Robin Carhart-Harris
in conversation with Mellody Hayes
Webcast from San Francisco

Can LSD and psilocybin provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression and anxiety? Robin Carhart-Harris is a neuroscientist and head of the Imperial Centre for Psychedelic Research, which builds on over a decade of pioneering work psychedelic research, including a clinical trial that has kick-started global efforts to develop psilocybin therapy into a licensed treatment for depression. The Centre focuses on two main research themes: the use of psychedelics in mental health care; and as tools to probe the brain’s basis of consciousness. The Centre is also working to develop a research clinic that could help to gather additional clinical evidence and become a prototype for the licensed psychedelic care facilities of the future.
