Based on its ability to increase brain complexity, a seemingly reliable index of conscious level, we propose testing the capacity of the classic psychedelic, psilocybin, to increase conscious awareness in patients with disorders of consciousness. We also confront the considerable ethical and practical challenges this proposal must address, if this hypothesis is to be directly assessed.
基于其增加大脑复杂性(这一貌似可靠的意识水平指标)的能力,我们提议测试经典致幻剂裸盖菇素增强意识障碍患者意识觉知的能力。如果要直接评估这一假设,我们还面临着该提议必须解决的相当多的伦理和实际挑战。
