Abstract

Qualitative studies suggest psilocybin may lead to diverse and individual subjective experiences.

Psilocybin is associated with significant changes in brain function.
Therapeutic outcomes have been observed in several neuropsychiatric disorders.
Little is known about the effects of psilocybin on subjective motor experiences.
Individuals often remain stationary during the effects of psilocybin.
Investigating motor experiences after psilocybin administration may provide insights into safety and quality of experiences.

Simplified

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring classic psychedelic associated with widespread changes in brain function and promising therapeutic outcomes in several neuropsychiatric disorders. Complementing these findings, qualitative studies following psilocybin administration have revealed diverse and highly individual effects across multiple domains of subjective experience. However, little is known about its impacts on individuals' subjective motor experiences. With the tendency of individuals to stay stationary during psilocybin's effects, investigating qualitative motor experiences following low-to-moderate doses of psilocybin may offer novel considerations regarding safety and quality of individuals' psychedelic experiences. We aimed to explore healthy individuals' subjective experiences after receiving three different doses of psilocybin and conducting motor activity.
