}This paper formulates the action of psychedelics by integrating the free-energy principle and entropic brain hypothesis. [...] Key Result With regard to their potential therapeutic use, we propose that psychedelics work to relax the precision weighting of pathologically overweighted priors underpinning various expressions of mental illness.Expand Abstract
