Brian Winston

Graduate Student

Brian Winston is a graduate student and co-facilitator in studies investigating the therapeutic and consciousness-altering effects of psilocybin. Under the direction of Dr. Frederick Barrett, Brian uses neuroimaging techniques such as functional MRI, TMS, and EEG to probe the neural correlates of psychedelics, including their acute impact on cognition and perception, and their longer-term effects on emotional processing and psychopathology. Prior to joining the lab, Brian conducted research in Washington University in St. Louis’s Cognitive Psychology Lab and the National Institutes of Health’s Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine. He received his B.A. in Philosophy, Neuroscience, and Psychology from WashU in St. Louis.
