Summary
AI-generated from the abstractUnder the influence of psilocybin (160 µg/kg), the abathic plane—the Euclidean visual space—remained relatively stable in 16 volunteers with a median age of 23.5 years, as measured by apparent fronto-parallel plane monitoring. Handwriting area and pressure were also assessed in the same subjects.

Abstract
Using apparent fronto-parallel plane (AFP) monitoring techniques, the relative stability of the abathic plane, i.e., Euclidean visual space, was investigated in 16 volunteers with a median age of 23.5 years under 160 µg/kg psilocybin-induced ergotropic arousal. Handwriting area and pressure were also measured in the same subjects.
