Speaker bio:
Josjan Zijlmans received his PhD in child psychiatry with EEG and fMRI neuroimaging studies on the neural correlates of antisocial behavior in young adults. He currently works as an assistant professor at the Amsterdam University Medical Center where he divides his time between research into the effects and applicability of psychedelic substances, and the mental health of children in a large clinical cohort of the DREAMS consortium. At the department of child psychiatry, he focuses on the development of MDMA-assisted therapy for adolescents with PTSD. In addition, he works on describing and understanding psychedelic experiences in a rational manner. He also coordinates an Honours Program Course on the history, neuroscience, and therapeutic potential of psychedelics at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
