Psychedelic causes similar brain state to meditation

5-MeO-DMT can induce a brain activity pattern similar to the one seen during non-dual meditation. Reports compare the psychedelic state to meditation performed by a lama, a Tibetan Buddhist spiritual teacher, and highlight overlap in brain signals associated with the meditation style. The implication is that some psychedelic experiences may map onto specific neurophysiological states that meditative practice can also reach, helping researchers understand how psychedelics affect consciousness and brain network dynamics.
