In the last number of years the so-called ‘renaissance’ of psychedelics research has received, and given, a great impetus to the understanding of the revolutionary predictive or Bayesian model of the mind. This model is linked to some research in the field of neuroscience and specifically to so-called “Altered States of Consciousness”, including those induced by psychedelic substances, and also found in the analytical setting and in other therapeutic or cultural practices (shamanism, mystical states, meditation). The 8th IPD/NPSA Conference in Rome will focus on this renewed interest in the assisted therapeutic use of psychedelic substances by highlighting how they can improve the knowledge of certain aspects of psychic functioning.
