... line, contrast, and texture detail in visual memory. This can be described as a rendering ambiguity error, and indicates a drifting of contrast information both laterally and radially across the cortex. This drifting in the visual field is most ...

An Overview of Physical Shamanism
... salient recognition and imprints itself into memory according to the sustain and release. As the interrupt’s ADSR envelope begins to influence multisensory perception, spirit information will appear to overlap onto the fabric of reality; bendi...
... more fully formed images that appear from visual memory or imagination. Psychedelic eidetic hallucinations are generally more explicitly personal than the abstract geometric forms associated with flicker phosphenes. Over the course of a psychedelic ...

The Value of Psychedelic Information
... by psychedelics. Psychedelics target perception, memory, and the complex emotions attached to symbols and concepts; the core functions humans rely on to formulate belief. Because of this exploit, the result of the psychedelic catalyst in humans is t...

... system are: 1) perception; 2) recognition; 3) memory; 4) recall; and 5) behavior. The minimum specific operating properties for any conscious system are: 1) modular coherence; 2) linear stability; 3) feedback control; 4) adaptability; and 5) self...
... psychedelic sessions can create blank spots in memory where the user is awake and active but has no control or memory of their behaviors. When people lose control in a psychedelic trip it is typically because they have taken too large a dose. High...

The Dream Drugstore: Chemically Altered States of Consciousness
... 4: In order for information to be stored in memory the serotonergically modulated forebrain must be online and queuing information into the medial temporal lobe for storage. If the brain is hallucinating that means memory is modulated by acetyl...

Scientists explain inception of perception in the brain
... to understanding not only perception, but memory, language, cognition." Barry Connors, chair of the Department of Neuroscience and the senior scientist on the project, said the findings may also shed light on the causes of some forms of ep...
How the Brain Filters out Distracting Thoughts to Focus on a Single Bit of Information
... with all kinds of information, from the memory of last night's delicious dinner to the instructions from your boss at your morning meeting. But how do you "tune in" to just one thought or idea and ignore all the rest of what is going on aro...

Cortical Region Interactions and the Functional Role of Apical Dendrites
The basal and distal apical dendrites ofpyramidal cells occupy distinct cortical layers and are targeted by axons originating in different cortical regions. Hence, apical and basal dendrites receive information from distinct sources. Physiological ev...
