LSD does stuff like that. The link between psychedelics and creativity is ancient, and, as Terence McKenna would have us believe, these peculiar compounds could account not only for brief excursions into creativity during the course of the acute intoxication with the drug, but also for the entire development of human consciousness itself. Indeed, looking at the role LSD played in so many facets of human life in the sixties, one might conclude that never before have so many fields of human endeavour, from art and architecture, to fashion, music and design, owed so much to such a small molecule. Certainly, human creativity is difficult to define and measure. And it is such an important cognitive process that it becomes an interesting challenge for modern scientific exploration. There are clear similarities between the typical traits of creative people and the subjective psychological characteristics of the psychedelic drug This phenomenon — which may seem obvious to some people but ludicrous to others — was studied in a number of small trials and case studies in the 1960s but results were inconclusive, and the quality of these studies by modern research standards was merely anecdotal. Nevertheless, with today's current renaissance in psychedelic drug research, now is the time to revisit these studies with contemporary research methods and neuroimaging. Like many aspects of modern psychedelic research, this is a study just waiting to happen. But the majority of today's contemporary psychedelic studies, as in the 1960s, focus mainly on the drugs' potential clinical applications. Modern research that reopens avenues for experiments with less obvious clinical applications may in turn add to our understanding of the
