No longer are psychedelics the exclusive domain of the counterculture; they are now accepted as an important part of a new generation of therapeutic approaches used to treat depression, anxiety, pain, addiction, PTSD, and other mental health disorders. These disorders have been difficult to treat effectively – until now. Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine have demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in treating disorders that affect thousands of people.

These next-generation neuro-therapeutics are most effective when used in combination with cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques. Methods of establishing mood, mindset, and setting pioneered by game developers are now serving as a powerful complement to psychedelic therapies, especially when used in combination with wearable biosensors.

This panel will bring together experts in psychedelic research, finance, game development, and virtual reality therapeutic systems to discuss the impending advancement of these critical therapeutic advances.
