LSD couples study at Maastricht University

by | Jul 18, 2023

The University of Maastricht has started a study regarding the effects of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) on brain activity and social behavior. For this study, they are looking for healthy volunteers (18-35 years old) in a relationship who have previously used a psychedelic drug (2C-B, truffles, magic mushrooms, LSD, DMT, mescaline) and who are able to participate with their partner.

You will participate in this study with your partner. On two separate dosing days you will both visit the lab, and will both randomly receive either LSD or placebo. Together, you will undergo a 1 hour EEG session, which is a brain imaging technique that records electrical activity of your brain. You will do a series of computer and talking tasks with your partner to see how social you feel. Some of these tasks will be video and audio recorded. Blood samples will be taken at various intervals through a tube in your arm. These days will last 8 hours, so you will need to be comfortable with sitting still for long periods of time. For more information, see the image below.

For your participation in this study you will receive a remuneration of 190 euros. All your travel fees will be reimbursed. Curious about participating? Send an email to [email protected]
