Hello, everybody, welcome back to psychedelics today.

0:11.7

This is Joe Moore, doing a short intro for this Friday episode.

0:16.2

So today on the show, we have a really interesting guest, and I'm going to let it be a surprise

0:20.7

until we get in there.

0:22.4

Just wanted to let you all know one quick clarification we received from a listener.

0:29.7

Last Friday's episode, we talked about the statistical analysis on some of the recent map studies.

0:36.1

And a listener, thankfully, reached out and wanted to help us

0:40.9

clarify something we said. So on the show, I think we said almost everybody who has been through

0:48.0

the trial gained significant benefit. That's not at all what the statistical analysis said.

1:37.3

that I think is like the best figure if you're talking to folks about it and the figure is something

1:42.3

more along the line of like 70 to 78 percent,

1:45.0

I think, of patients in the phase two. I don't really have any data on phase three. So yeah,

1:51.7

that's quick clarification on that point. I hope that was helpful and sorry for the misinformation.

1:57.6

Starts July 9. It's at what?
