The Frame Stacking Model of Hallucinogenic Action was proposed by a Canadian researcher who wishes to remain anonymous. The model is based on first-hand experimentation with LSD and Salvia divinorum, and is presented here as a brief edit of a much lo...
Neural axons in the human brain are always branching and creating new synaptic connections to facilitate learning and development. Like the toning and bulking of muscle mass, neural connectivity, developmental growth, and plasticity are based partly ...
An Overview of Physical Shamanism
Physical Shamanism is differentiated from Spiritual Shamanism in that physical shamanism relies on models of neural oscillators and resonant wave entrainment as opposed to spirit models of supernatural medium channeling, telepathy, or clairvoyance. T...
Do not create the image, build the system that creates images. Iteration, Combination, and Reintegration. An exploration of complexity based on simple mathematical and programmatic rules....
Notes on Flicker Phosphene Form Constants
Observations on the correlation between Hz and the form constants and properties of flicker phosphenes are generalized and based on subjective reports....
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...
1. To explore the feasibility of a visual prosthesis for the blind, human visual cortex has been stimulated during a series of surgical procedures on conscious volunteers undergoing other occipital lobe surgery. 2. Area no. 17 seems the most effec...
TMS, phosphenes and visual mental imagery: A mini-review and a theoretical framework
We reviewed the existing research linking visual mental imagery and phosphenes induced by TMS. We examined and contrasted conditions (and parameters) under which intensity and amplitude of TMS application at various cortical sites along the ventral a...
Presynaptic uptake blockade hypothesis for LSD action at the lateral inhibitory synapse in Limulus
We investigated the action of LSD at the putative indoleaminergic lateral inhibitory synapse in the lateral eye of Limulus polyphemus. We recorded extracellular and intracellular voltage responses from eccentric cells while producing inhibition eithe...
Most psychedelic molecules are structurally similar to neurotransmitters that modulate signal flow in the brain. If we take a close look at the structure of common neurotransmitters (Fig. 1) the transmitters most closely related to the classic psyche...
Most receptor interactions occur on the order of microseconds, so attempting to model pharmacodynamics based on rate of subjective frame interruption may be impossible. Currently the only way to accurately model the perceptual effects of a new psycho...

The interrupt envelope of Salvia is an approximation based on subjective reports. ...

Does time dilate during a threatening situation?
WHEN a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour," said Albert Einstein, "it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute, and it's longer than any hour." Einstein was describing one of the most profound implications of his Theory o...
Making PCR: a story of biotechnology
Making PCRis the fascinating, behind-the-scenes account of the invention of one of the most significant biotech discoveries in our time--the polymerase chain reaction. Transforming the practice and potential of molecular biology, PCR extends scientis...
Nobel Prize genius Crick was high on LSD when he discovered the secret of life
Annotation: While this Mail article is widely referenced, there is some debate about weather or not this article is valid. Crick is quoted on LSD in some interviews, but there is no authoritative proof to the claim he envisioned the shape of DNA whil...
The Value of Psychedelic Information
A text called ‘Psychedelic Information Theory’ raises the question, “What is Psychedelic Information, and why should we care?” Generally speaking, psychedelic information is any information created in the mind of the subject during a psychede...
Notes on Sensory Binding and Coherence
The so-called "binding problem" of cognitive science is approached from a variety of angles, but all of them rely on measuring the strength, frequency, synchrony, and resonance of spike waves propagating through neural assemblies. There are many ways...
This definition of deliberative recall is simplified and based on principles of deductive and inductive reasoning. This definition compresses a much larger discussion on the various types of neural logic and does not account for human irrationality, ...
