论文摘要
将心理疗法与迷幻药物（PSID）相结合的研究表明，通常与PSID的“神秘型”经历（MTES）的能力相关的积极结果 - 即，其特征包括具有连接性，超越性和不可能的特征。我们建议，PSID和虚拟现实都可以位于更广泛的迷幻技术上。为了检验这一假设，我们使用了PSID研究中的概念，方法和分析策略来设计和评估“ Isness”，这是一个多人VR的旅程，参与者体验了他们身体的集体出现，波动和耗散作为充满活力的本质。一项研究（n = 57）分析了参与者对常用PSID经验问卷（MEQ30）的反应，表明伊斯尼斯参与者的MTE与高剂量的psilocybin＆LSD后的双盲临床研究中的MTE相当。在支持性的环境和概念框架中，VR现象学可以为参与者获得洞察力和意义的MTE创造条件。
Studies combining psychotherapy with psychedelic drugs (PsiDs) have demonstrated positive outcomes that are often associated with PsiDs' ability to induce 'mystical-type' experiences (MTEs) - i.e., subjective experiences whose characteristics include a sense of connectedness, transcendence, and ineffability. We suggest that both PsiDs and virtual reality can be situated on a broader spectrum of psychedelic technologies. To test this hypothesis, we used concepts, methods, and analysis strategies from PsiD research to design and evaluate 'Isness', a multi-person VR journey where participants experience the collective emergence, fluctuation, and dissipation of their bodies as energetic essences. A study (N=57) analyzing participant responses to a commonly used PsiD experience questionnaire (MEQ30) indicates that Isness participants had MTEs comparable to those reported in double-blind clinical studies after high doses of psilocybin & LSD. Within a supportive setting and conceptual framework, VR phenomenology can create the conditions for MTEs from which participants derive insight and meaning.
