A study has found that a low dose of the psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT produces brain activity patterns in an advanced Tibetan Buddhist meditator similar to those during meditation. Researchers compared the drug's effects to the lama's practiced non-dual meditation states. The findings suggest overlaps in neural responses linked to reduced self-perception.
