Each subject will participate in 3 x 5 h study sessions separated by at least 7 days.

Order of drug administration will be 10 μg LSD - 20 μg LSD - Placebo. Vials will contain either 10μg (Active) or 0 μg LSD (Placebo). Thus, participants will be administered two vials on each study visit. 1. visit: active+placebo; 2. visit: active+active, 3. visit: placebo+placebo.

0.5 h after the start of each study session the participants will be administered 10 μg LSD per os in the form of vials containing 1ml 20% EtOH (ethanol).

Using the changepoint task, it is examined how explicit expectations about upcoming stimuli are derived from the perceptual history and how they influence the perceptual decision in a volatile environment.

The study team utilizes an established computerized task and analysis pipeline including a behavioral modeling strategy based on Bayesian inference. The task requires participants to view a train of stimuli consisting of checkerboards presented on a half-circle gradient either more on the right or more on the left side of a fixation cross. Each checkerboard represents information about whether stimuli are currently more likely to appear on the right or left side of the screen. The participants have to indicate by button press, whether they believe the right or the left side is active. Task difficulty is fixed.

With the history bias task, the study team investigates how implicit expectations about upcoming stimuli are derived from perceptual history and how they bias perceptual discrimination.

In each trial, two circular gratings will be presented concurrently on the left and right sides of a fixation cross. After complete stimulus presentation, the participants indicate by button press which of the two gratings they believe had the stronger contrast in the trial (left vs. right). Task difficulty will be adjusted individually using an online quest staircase procedure, such that participants will always perform at their 75% accuracy level.
