Alien Insect

Data updated

Japan

Psychedelic science education platform founded by British neurobiologist and pharmacologist Andrew R. Gallimore in Tokyo, focused on the neuroscience of DMT, consciousness, and psychedelic pharmacology. Gallimore co-authored a landmark 2016 paper with Rick Strassman proposing target-controlled intravenous DMT infusion for sustained immersive experiences, and publishes the Alien Insect On Drugs Substack alongside immersive educational workshops.

Blossom’s read

Alien Insect is best understood as Andrew R. Gallimore’s education and publication platform rather than a conventional training school. Its strongest offer is a fairly specialised, science-led course on psychedelic neuroscience, with a clear DMT and consciousness emphasis, so it will appeal most to people who already have some seriousness about the topic rather than casual curiosity. In the field, it sits closer to independent research-informed education and thought leadership than formal professional credentialing, with visible lineage to Gallimore’s collaboration with Rick Strassman and the wider DMTx conversation.

Who Alien Insect is for

Best for curious-public learners, psychonauts, and practitioners wanting a neuroscience and pharmacology grounding in psychedelics, especially DMT. It may also suit researchers or advanced self-directed learners interested in Gallimore’s model of consciousness and world-building.

Prerequisites

No formal prerequisites are stated on the course page. The material is presented as open access and free, with no licensure or entry condition mentioned.

Accreditation & recognition

No accreditation, certification, or CME/CE credit is stated on the site pages reviewed. The course is described as a free online course rather than a formal accredited programme.

Cost

The psychedelic neuroscience master course is described as entirely free and online. The site also points to a private Facebook group and an email list for updates, but no tuition or paid package is stated for the course itself.

What you walk away with

Learners are offered a grounding in psychedelic neuroscience and pharmacology from molecules through neurons, networks, and global brain activity. The course does not present a formal credential; the likely outcome is conceptual understanding and a pathway into Gallimore’s wider writings, lectures, and DMTx-related material.
