@heleenslagter Menno Oosterhof has OCD and used psilicybine. It freed him in certain ways from his OCD preoccupations. I think this can be explained largely with what you and Ruben Laukkonen explained in Laukkonen RE, Slagter HA (2021): From many to (n)one: Meditation and the plasticity of the predictive mindNeuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews 128:199–217.
So I think meditation and psilocybine might do the same. OCD must be related to rigid priors. Do you have any ideas about that. Or has anybody else for that matter? #neuroscience #OCD #psilocybine #self #priors

Topic: Workflows for better priors
Bayesian models rely on prior distributions that encode knowledge about the problem, but specifying good priors is often difficult in practice. We are working on multiple fronts on making it easier, with contributions to e.g. prior elicitation, prior diagnostics, prior checking, and specification of priors in predictive spaces.
