Talking Ketamine PodcastKetamine & Neuroethics
We delve into how ketamine’s unique altered states of consciousness, like ego dissolution and dissociation, could serve as a blueprint for future brain-computer interfaces. This episode reveals how neurochemistry might inspire technology to design new modes of consciousness, going beyond simply repairing the brain to potentially enhancing or redesigning consciousness itself.

Sci on the FlyNeuroethics and Students on Stimulants, tDCS, and other Cognitive EnhancementAdvances in drug development and neurotechnology over the last century have noticeably increased our ability to target cognitive-behavioral networks and help those with physical disabilities. These and future advances could potentially provide a pathway by which to use drugs and/or devices to consistently enhance human cognition and behavior, rather than just treat or manage the symptoms of medical conditions. Currently, several prescription medications are being taken by the general public solely for their cognitive enhancing effects, and do-it-yourselfers are making neurostimulation devices at home in attempts to modulate the functioning of their own brains.
