TORONTO, Canada -- March 24, 2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Cybin Inc. (NEO:CYBN) (NYSE American:CYBN) ("Cybin"
or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company
focused on progressing "Psychedelics to Therapeutics™", reports
that its Company-sponsored feasibility study using Kernel's
quantitative neuroimaging technology, Kernel Flow, is actively
recruiting participants. The study is evaluating the participants
experience wearing Kernel Flow while in an altered state of
consciousness following the administration of ketamine.
Participants will receive either a low dose of ketamine or
placebo while wearing the Kernel Flow headset, which is equipped
with hi-tech sensors to record brain activity and will report their
experience using structured questionnaires and validated
assessments during study visits and a follow-up. The study will
also evaluate brain activity before and after the administration of
the study agents - low-dosed ketamine or placebo.
"The feasibility study using Kernel Flow offers an opportunity
for researchers and our study participants to quantifiably gather
information on a psychedelic experience," said Doug Drysdale,
Cybin's Chief Executive Officer. "Until now, our understanding of
the psychedelic experience has been fairly subjective. This study
may lead to larger studies that have the potential to bridge the
gap between bringing psychedelics to therapeutics as we learn more
about the advantages of these important molecules on brain activity
and overall mental wellbeing."

About Kernel Flow
Kernel Flow is a wearable headset that measures brain activity
by recording local changes in blood oxygenation. It is adjustable,
can accommodate nearly anyone and is safe. Kernel Flow is
groundbreaking neurotechnology because it reduces loud, expensive,
and room-sized equipment to a head-worn apparatus while providing
neural activity data of the highest possible optical quality. This
combination has never existed in such a commercial and scalable
device, all factors for why brain interfaces and neuroimaging
technology has largely remained in academic labs or hospital
basements and why mental health diagnosis and treatment have
behavioral, instead of biomarker, endpoints. The entire system is
the size and look of a bicycle helmet and could, in the future, be
more broadly used for neuroscientific or physiological studies of
brain activity during psychedelic use.
