Enzo Tagliazucchi

Enzo Tagliazucchi is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, focusing on the intersection of neuroscience and psychedelic studies. His work investigates the mechanisms linking molecular interactions (e.g., LSD) to altered states of consciousness, utilizing neuroimaging techniques like fMRI, EEG, and MEG to map brain activity and biophysical changes.

His research interests include:

• Consciousness and neural circuits
• Computational modeling of brain states
• Psychedelics and cognitive dynamics
• Neuroimaging methodologies
• Aesthetic experience and perception

He has received the prestigious Heisenberg Fellowship, supporting his innovative studies in empirical aesthetics and neuroscience. His work emphasizes theoretical frameworks to bridge molecular interactions with conscious experience, proposing metric-based correlations between brain activity and perceptual states.
