The seminar will be delivered virtually by Dr Lebedev who is a psychiatrist and an assistant professor at the Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Clinical Neuroscience and Aging Research Center. Alexander investigates belief formation mechanisms and how they can be altered in various mental states and psychiatric conditions. Together with Imperial College, he has published two brain imaging studies investigating effects of classical psychedelics on brain dynamics and personality. He is currently coordinating the brain imaging aspects of Sweden's first clinical trial in using psilocybin for treatment of depression.
