Claims

  1. In 19 patients treated with psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, ratings of the music experience (liking, resonance, openness) significantly predicted reductions in depression one week later, whereas self-rated drug intensity did not.
    "the nature of the music experience was significantly predictive of reductions in depression 1 week after psilocybin, whereas general drug intensity was not"
