Thank you for your interest in our new research study to help us understand visual perception in people taking psilocybin and how these relate to brain functions. We are looking for healthy individuals with a prior history/experience taking psilocybin or “magic mushrooms”, as well as people who don’t have a personal or family history of severe and persistent mental illnesses. This study will take around 12 weeks total to complete over the course of seven different visits that take place at the University of Minnesota. You will be compensated up to $1160 if you participate in all study procedures. Some minor risks are invovled in this study, including side effects from taking psilocbyin, such as a moderate increase in pulse and blood pressure, and headaches; those from having blood drawn, including discomfort, bruising, bleeding at the blood draw site; some minor skin irritation is a possible reaction to the electrode cap application for EEG; and some clausterphobia and potential nerve stimuation from MRI scans, a scanning process similar to an x-ray or CT scan that does not use ionizing radiation.

To help protect your privacy, this study was granted a Certificate of Confidentiality. The researchers can use this Certificate legally to refuse to disclose information that may identify you in any federal, state, or local civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, or other proceedings, for example, if there is a court subpoena. The researchers will use the Certificate to resist any demands for information that would identify you, except as explained below. The Certificate does not prevent a researcher from reporting information learned in research when required by other state or federal laws, such as mandatory reports to local health authorities for abuse or neglect of children/vulnerable adults, or information to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when required in an FDA audit. However, the Certificate limits the researcher from disclosing such information in follow up civil, criminal, legislative or administrative legal proceedings if the information was created or compiled for purposes of the research. You also should understand that a Certificate of Confidentiality does not prevent you or a member of your family from voluntarily releasing information about yourself or your involvement in this research. If an insurer, medical care provider, or other person obtains your written consent to receive research information, then the researchers will not use the Certificate to withhold that information.

After reading this introduction, if you are interested in being considered for this study, please continue to complete this screening survey. Completion of this screening survey will indicate your consent for us to use this information to determine your elibility for further screening and enrollment. Data from this screening survey will not be shared and will only be used to determine whether to contact you for additional screening and data collection.
