Annotation: This study reports increase in power in high beta-3 and beta-4 bands and decrease in power in theta bands following ayahuasca intoxication. Aims Ayahuasca is a traditional South American psychoactive beverage used in Amazonian sham...

Entrainment (Physics)

... events match their period to an environmental oscillation (termed a zeitgeber, which is German for "timegiver"). The activity/rest (sleep) cycle is only one set of such events that is normally entrained by environmental cues whose period is ultim...
