Music and psychedelics have been intertwined throughout the existence of Homo sapiens, from the early shamanic rituals of the Americas and Africa to the modern use of psychedelic-assisted therapy for a variety of mental health conditions. Across such settings, music has been highly prized for its ability to guide the psychedelic experience. Here, we examine the interplay between music and psychedelics, starting by describing their association with the brain's functional hierarchy that is relied upon for music perception and its psychedelic-induced manipulation, as well as an exploration of the limited research on their mechanistic neural overlap. We explore music's role in Western psychedelic therapy and the use of music in indigenous psychedelic rituals, with a specific focus on ayahuasca and the Santo Daime Church. Furthermore, we explore work relating to the evolution and onset of music and psychedelic use. Finally, we consider music's potential to lead to altered states of consciousness in the absence of psychedelics as well as the development of psychedelic music. Here, we provide an overview of several perspectives on the interaction between psychedelic use and music—a topic with growing interest given increasing excitement relating to the therapeutic efficacy of psychedelic interventions.

迷幻：音乐和迷幻药的相互作用

从美洲和非洲的早期萨满教仪式到现代使用迷幻剂辅助疗法治疗各种心理健康状况，音乐和迷幻剂在智人的整个存在过程中一直交织在一起。在这样的环境中，音乐因其引导迷幻体验的能力而受到高度评价。在这里，我们研究音乐和迷幻药之间的相互作用，首先描述它们与音乐感知及其迷幻药诱导的操纵所依赖的大脑功能层次的关联，并探索对其机械神经重叠的有限研究。我们探讨音乐在西方迷幻疗法中的作用以及音乐在本土迷幻仪式中的使用，特别关注死藤水和 Santo Daime 教堂。此外，我们还探索与音乐和迷幻剂的演变和出现相关的工作。最后，我们考虑在没有迷幻药的情况下音乐可能导致意识状态改变以及迷幻音乐的发展。在这里，我们概述了关于迷幻剂的使用和音乐之间相互作用的几个观点——鉴于人们对迷幻剂干预的治疗效果越来越兴奋，这个话题越来越引起人们的兴趣。
