LIVE EVENT Q&A: Dr. Andrew Huberman at the ICC Sydney Theatre

About this video

This live event recording presents the question-and-answer session from Huberman’s Brain-Body Contract event at the ICC Sydney Theatre. Huberman answers audience questions across neuroscience and health, with the session shared for those who could not attend. In the slices, Huberman discusses psychedelic research, describing work by his Stanford colleague Nolan Williams on ibogaine. Huberman explains, as he presents it, that ibogaine sessions are long, have cardiac effects, and should only be done in a clinical context with medical experts present, and that he has not participated in an ibogaine trial himself. He describes reports of eyes-closed, high-resolution recall of prior life events in which a person retains agency to change their behavior and relationship to those experiences. Huberman also discusses medically supported psilocybin sessions and notes public funding being applied to ibogaine trials in the United States, framing psychedelics as an active, medically supervised research area rather than a casual practice.
