存在性：使用多人VR设计与迷幻药相当的高峰神秘型体验
Isness: Using Multi-Person VR to Design Peak Mystical-Type Experiences Comparable to Psychedelics
摘要：
将心理治疗与迷幻药（PsiDs）相结合的研究已经证明了积极的结果，这些结果通常与PsiDs诱导“神秘型”体验（MTEs）的能力有关-即，主观经验，其特征包括联系性、超越性和不可描述性。我们认为，PsiDs和虚拟现实可以位于更广泛的迷幻技术。为了验证这一假设，我们使用了PsiD研究中的概念、方法和分析策略来设计和评估“Isness”，这是一个多人VR旅程，参与者在其中体验他们身体作为能量本质的集体出现、波动和消散。一项研究（N=57）分析了参与者对常用的PsiD经验问卷（MEQ 30）的回答，表明Isness参与者的MTEs与高剂量psilocybin和LSD后的双盲临床研究中报告的MTEs相当。在一个支持性的设置和概念框架内，VR现象学可以为参与者从中获得洞察力和意义的MTEs创造条件。
英文摘要：
Studies combining psychotherapy with psychedelic drugs (PsiDs) have demonstrated positive outcomes that are often associated with PsiDs' ability to induce 'mystical-type' experiences (MTEs) - i.e., subjective experiences whose characteristics include a sense of connectedness, transcendence, and ineffability. We suggest that both PsiDs and virtual reality can be situated on a broader spectrum of psychedelic technologies. To test this hypothesis, we used concepts, methods, and analysis strategies from PsiD research to design and evaluate 'Isness', a multi-person VR journey where participants experience the collective emergence, fluctuation, and dissipation of their bodies as energetic essences. A study (N=57) analyzing participant responses to a commonly used PsiD experience questionnaire (MEQ30) indicates that Isness participants had MTEs comparable to those reported in double-blind clinical studies after high doses of psilocybin & LSD. Within a supportive setting and conceptual framework, VR phenomenology can create the conditions for MTEs from which participants derive insight and meaning.
