Post# of 341
Cybin (NYSE American: CYBN) (NEO: CYBN), a leading ethical biopharmaceutical company working to advance psychedelic therapeutics for various psychiatric and neurological conditions, recently announced its receipt of approval from an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) for a feasibility study using Kernel’s quantitative neuroimaging technology, Kernel Flow. Enrollment for the study is set to begin early this year. The feasibility study is designed to utilize Kernel’s Flow technology to evaluate ketamine’s psychedelic effect on the cerebral cortex, potentially providing crucial information that may lead to new frontiers in psychedelic therapeutics by enabling the acquisition of longitudinal brain activity before, during and after a psychedelic experience, providing quantification of what was previously subjective patient reporting. “Conventional neuroimaging just isn’t dynamic enough to study the psychedelic experience in the brain as it happens. This study of ketamine’s psychedelic effects while wearing headgear equipped with sensors to record brain activity could open up new frontiers of understanding,” a recent article quotes Cybin’s Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Alex Belser, as saying. “We hope this feasibility study can bridge the gap of real-time quantitative data collection during psychedelic treatments to further understand the correlation of effects from these powerful molecules,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale.
