Kernel x Cybin Announce Ketamine Pilot Results

Kernel & Cybin are announcing pilot results from a feasibility study evaluating Kernel’s quantitative neuroimaging technology, Flow, to measure cortical hemodynamics of the brain while experiencing ketamine. Kernel Founder/CEO Bryan Johnson volunteered as the first pilot participant in the study.

Early data from the piloting suggested that ketamine-induced changes in the functional connectivity of the subject's brain lingered for several days after administration. Kernel Flow successfully measured the neuro-effect of ketamine over 11 days (baseline at Days 1-5, dosing at Day 6, follow-up at Days 7-11), and confirmed changes in functional connectivity that are consistent with current scientific research.

Psychedelics have unique powers to improve mental wellness. Flow gives its potential by introducing a data-driven approach for discovery, protocol development and personalization. We’re excited to report the pilot results of a longitudinally rich dataset of brain activity before, during and after a ketamine-induced altered-state experience. The quality of the data recorded with Flow may lead to a better understanding of the neuro effects of psychedelics on the brain and help to advance these powerful new therapies for patients.

Our brain knows things that we don’t. Wisdom we want, need and must know. Now we can.

Don't get annual dental X-Rays if not specifically indicated.

I need to see more studies, this is too cool!

[geosmi]

Could you please begin to promote the utilization of the kernel in epilepsy research?

[andreivasiliu]

wow. its amazing that you managed to create a device that shows brain connections and its not intrusive

[frankcastaigno]

biggest question is: Is he still doing this?

[sofiaqt]

Super excited about this technology and what we can learn from psychedelic therapies 🧠

[sinanrobillard]

Very interesting! Next trial with DMT? Buddhist masters of meditation? Lucid Dreamers?

Ketamine really fked me up, caused depersonalization, OCD, depression... lasted for 2 weeks the effect, never ever again, it was pure hell

[pandoraeeris]

I wish I was a test subject. I need ketamine to treat my Borderline Personality Disorder.

You gotta colab with elon the fastest as possible

[devileclique]

bruh ketamine is a horse tranquiliser, dat shii just makes a nice dent in ya brain, like a barral of liquere ...not a psychodelic

What kind of life is this? I fell sorry for him.
