Mystical Experience as a Partial Mediator of Psychedelic Outcomes via Network Integration

OSFSep 2, 2025

Abstract

This preregistration documents a narrative review and mediation model: entheogen exposure → mystical/noetic experience → network-level brain change → clinical outcomes. We will synthesize evidence from psilocybin, LSD, and related trials. The registration freezes our causal pathway hypothesis (experience → network integration → outcomes) prior to writing.
