Rijksmuseum Boerhaave and the Lorentz Center are collaborating to organize a Lorentz Lecture on the neurological effects of DMT. Christopher Timmermann will give the English lecture. DMT is a psychedelic with historical ceremonial use, known for inducing immersive experiences and facilitating communication. The talk will delve into recent scientific research on DMT's impact on the brain and its potential in understanding consciousness. Additionally, the lecture will explore the relevance of these findings in using DMT for depression treatment. Christopher Timmermann, a PhD holder, will be the speaker. He obtained a BSc in Psychology in Santiago, Chile and an MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Bologna in Italy. Currently, he is a post-doc at Imperial College London's Centre for Psychedelic Research, leading the DMT research.
