REBUS and the Anarchic Brain: Toward a Unified Model of the Brain Action of Psychedelics
@article{CarhartHarris2019REBUSAT, title={REBUS and the Anarchic Brain: Toward a Unified Model of the Brain Action of Psychedelics}, author={R. Carhart-Harris and Karl J. Friston}, journal={Pharmacological Reviews}, year={2019}, volume={71}, pages={316 - 344} }
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
