Study Finds That LSD Affects Language Production in the Brain
A recent study published in the “Consciousness and Cognition” journal has found that language produced while an individual is under the influence of LSD shows decreased semantic coherence and increased entropy levels. In layman’s terms, this means that people were more likely to move from one topic to another and have more disorganized speech while under the influence of LSD. Entropy was developed by physicists to quantify lost energy in mechanical systems. However, researchers have found that this measure of randomness and uncertainty in a system can also be used to measure spontaneous activity in brain networks. Study author Enzo…
