Post# of 341
Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to revolutionizing mental healthcare by developing new and innovative psychedelic-based treatment options, is reporting on the release of study findings. Cybin sponsored the study, which was conducted by Kernel, a leader in noninvasive neuroimaging. Titled “Measuring acute effects of subanesthetic ketamine on cerebrovascular hemodynamics in humans using TD-fNIRS,” the study was published in “Scientific Reports from the Nature Portfolio of Journals” and evaluated the ability of Kernel’s Flow1 system to capture and analyze brain changes resulting from the administration of a psychoactive substance. According to the announcement, the single-blind, placebo-controlled study was the first fNIRS (“fNIRS”) human-neuroimaging study with ketamine ever conducted; the announcement also noted that it was the largest fNIRS study measuring the acute effect of a psychedelic.
The study represents a “significant milestone in the field of neuroimaging,” according to Kernel management, and demonstrated “the remarkable ease and capabilities of Flow1 to explore the physiological effects of psychedelics like ketamine in natural settings.” The company will use the study results to evaluate large-scale clinical study opportunities using its Flow technology. “The feasibility study is truly groundbreaking as it supports Kernel’s ability to measure functional brain activity in real time, using a wearable, convenient device,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale in the press release. “The study results also suggest that a combination of metrics may be predictive of subjective mystical experiences during psychedelic treatment. We are excited about the potential for this technology in expanding our understanding of the mechanisms and effects of psychedelic-based therapeutics on the brain and applications to research and clinical trials, which is essential to Cybin’s goal of developing differentiated therapeutics for people with mental health conditions.”
