This open-label pilot psilocybin administration study investigates the influence of psilocybin on brain function and cognitive control functions in clinically and psychiatrically healthy volunteers. Participants will undergo experimental drug administration sessions after careful screening and preparation. Participants will also have brain activity measured using electroencephalogram (EEG) also during non-invasive brain stimulation using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

| Acute Change in Inhibitory EEG Component Amplitudes (N45, N100) from Baseline | Change in the amplitudes of inhibitory event-related potentials (ERPs), specifically the N45 and N100 components, from baseline to peak acute subjective effects (~1.5 hours post-psilocybin administration) will be calculated. This is a continuous variable expressed in microvolts (µV), derived from EEG recordings. | Baseline up to approximately 1.5 hours post psilocybin adminstration |
| Change in Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ30) | The Mystical Experience Questionnaire was developed to assess phenomenological content during altered states of consciousness. Change in MEQ30 from baseline to peak acute psilocybin effects (~1.5 hr post-psilocybin administration) will be calculated. Score range 0 - 150 with higher scores reflecting more mystical experience. | Baseline up to to approximately 1.5 hours post psilocybin administration |
