Reviews for Psychedelic Information Theory
... related to serotonergic and cholinergic visual processing, as well as the auditory, olfactory, and tactile senses... Kent's clear trail through volumes of research gave me a solid understanding of how rod and cone vision, phosphenes, the visual in...
... the human brain as a dynamical information processing system, PIT demonstrates how consciousness can be destabilized to produce multiple states at once, or multi-stability, which is subjectively perceived as expanded consciousness. As consciou...
... frame perception raises some questions of neural processing capacity. If perception can split itself into multiple states along the order of three times, moving from aliasing 2 simultaneous frames to 4, and then to 8, and then finally to 16 frames o...
... V1, are closely related to those involved in the processing of edges and contours....
5-HT2A Agonism and Multisensory Binding
... cortex (PFC) along both dorsal and ventral processing streams. Through lateral, vertical, elliptical, and recurrent feedback connections, layer V pyramidal cells bind multisensory frame data across the cortex with a functional refresh rate of ...
... clearly plays an essential role in cognitive processing, including working memory, and ligands for this receptor may be extremely useful tools for future cognitive neuroscience research. In addition, it appears entirely possible that utility may...
About Psychedelic Information Theory
... interrupt in a precisely timed sequential frame processing system. By extrapolating the various overlapping pharmacological, circuit, and network models of psychedelic action, I settled upon the Control Interrupt Model of psychedelic activation, wh...
Crude cognitive schematic of waking consciousness
... can chart the flow of signal through the various processing levels until you ultimately arrive at output, or behavior, with a delay of a few hundred milliseconds. We don't perceive anything in our conscious mind until sensation hits the Executive...
... and labels all phenomena responsible for this processing as ecological elements of a cognitive ecosystem. The ecosystem is the environment in which ecological elements assemble and interact in respect to a specific cognitive process. Cognition is...
Group Mind and Fluid Tribal Dynamics
... If the mind is an multi-phase oscillator for processing information, and two oscillating minds can be synchronized through harmonic or resonant wave interference, then two minds entrained in a synchronized state should be able to pass informatio...
Psychic bonding is a physical, neurological adaptation that occurs when two subjects spend time together sharing thoughts, feelings, and personal space. Psychic bonding is a survival trait that all animals and possibly all plants share. Psychic bonds...
Hypnotic Entrainment and Induced Trance States
... are most likely engaged in a complex distributed processing task. When neurons are coupled together in a recurrent network the rapid pulses sent back and forth between them are referred to as oscillations, and these oscillations take on the predicta...
Physical Shamanism and Shamanic Therapy
... a subject into a targeted state of information processing is the science of hypnosis or trance. The psychedelic medicine allows the patient’s homeostasis to become destabilized, and in this state the shaman becomes the circuit driver or resonato...
I. INTRODUCTION Multiscale processing is hardly avoidable to develop efficient image recognition algorithms. Before wavelets were called “wavelets,” researchers such as Burt and Adelson [7], Koenderink [18], M m [24], Witkin [36], a...
Wavelets, vision and the statistics of natural scenes
The processing of spatial information by the visual system shows a number of similarities to the wavelet transforms that have become popular in applied mathematics. Over the last decade, a range of studies have focused on the question of ‘why&#...
... a memory span measure with a concurrent processing task, sometimes referred to as "complex span". Daneman and Carpenter invented the first version of this kind of task, the "reading span", in 1980.[29] Subjects read a number of sentences (u...
... was based on temporal differences in luminance processing producing a signal that tricks the motion system. Both of the recent articles are broadly consistent with those ideas, although contrast appears to be an important factor (Backus & Oruç, 2...
Uncoiling the spiral: Maths and hallucinations
... cortex to detect contours and do more global processing. It used to be thought that you process more and more complex aspects of an image as you go higher up in the brain. But now it's realised that there is a huge amount of feedback between hig...
... is a destabilization of multisensory processing and sensory signal coupling. Erratic hallucinations caused by 5-HT2A agonism include wiggling and drifting of line and shadow; frame stacking and recursive frame cascading; and temporal and...
