Ralph Metzner Distinguished Professor
Robin Carhart-Harris ran Imperial's psychedelic research program for a decade before launching UCSF's in 2021. His entropic brain hypothesis links the subjective richness of psychedelic states to measurable increases in neural disorder — and offers a new axis for understanding depression, rigidity, and cognitive flexibility.
