This work was supported by a University of California, Los Angeles Clinical and Translational Science Institute grant to D.M.T.F, M.I., C.H. and K.I. (UL1TR000124).

We used continuous theta-burst stimulation, in which 600 pulses were applied in bursts of three pulses at 50 Hz, repeated at 5 Hz for a total of 40 seconds. A 110 mm double cone coil (Magstim Company) was connected to the magnetic stimulator (Magstim Rapid2). Differential parallel-bar EMG Sensor recording electrodes (1 cm in length; 1mm in girth; interelectrode distance of 1 cm) (Delsys, Natick MA, USA) were centered over the tibialis anterior muscle. Active motor thresholds were established as the minimum stimulus intensity that produced an objectively detectable EMG response of >100 microvolts in 5 of 10 trials during isometric contraction of the tibialis anterior muscle. The stimulation intensity in the TMS condition was set at 80% of this active motor threshold (M = 40.5% of the stimulator’s maximum output, SD = 6.42). The coil was held radially to the participant’s head.

Here we sought to investigate the effects of psilocybin on nature relatedness and libertarian–authoritarian political perspective

Nature relatedness significantly increased and authoritarianism significantly decreased
