I’ve mentioned previously Harman’s and Fadiman’s 1960s studies of psychedelics’ positive effects on problem solving.

There currently are many well-characterized ways of measuring creativity, including artistic, scientific, psychological, spiritual, and emotional. It would be relatively straightforward to renew research into psychedelics’ effects on this crucial human quality.
