Approximately 6 minutes after the infusion, participants performed a visuomotor task designed to elicit stimulus-induced γ band oscillations in the primary visual and motor cortex. Five minutes of resting MEG was recorded; the participant was then infused with psilocybin over 60 seconds and 5 minutes of resting MEG was recorded immediately after infusion. The authors reported decreased oscillatory power across a broad frequency range after psilocybin, mainly localized to association cortices, with marked decreases in areas of the DMN such as the PCC. We know now that there is no “seat” of consciousness, and that consciousness is not a property of a single brain location but more likely arises as the result of dynamic interactions among widely distributed groups of neur
