Episode overview
When explorer Albert Lin’s phantom limb pain vanished after one dose of psilocybin, he sought the science behind it. Miles O’Brien, also an amputee living with phantom pain, joins a UC San Diego trial testing whether psychedelics can reopen the brain’s capacity to rewire itself. From octopus experiments to his own emotional psychedelic journey, O’Brien investigates a new frontier in pain medicine.
