The Signs of All Times: Entoptic Phenomena in Upper Palaeolithic Art
... Dowson (1988) in their article 'The Signs of All times' propose a neurobridge backwards in time to the Upper Palaeolithic by which we can gain insight into the nature of the origins of art. Our nervous system has not changed much in the past 100,000...
... the crystals get stuck for a short period of time. The bonding of amine ligands to serotonin and dopamine receptors is where psychedelic action begins.1,2 Serotonin and the Tryptamines Because of depressive mood disorders and pharmaceuticals...
... sound — often its loudness — over time. The envelope may be a discrete circuit or module (in the case of analog devices), or implemented as part of the unit's software (in the case of digital devices). Attack: How quickly the sound...
Does time dilate during a threatening situation?
... of General Relativity - that the perception of time is subjective. This is something we all know from experience: time flies when we are enjoying ourselves, but seems to drag on when we are doing something tedious. The subjective experience of ...
... because he was not yet on the Court at the time of the hearing). The Supreme Court decided most of the points of contention in favor of the UDV, although the Supreme Court disagreed with the lower court, which said that the United Nation's Int...
Making PCR: a story of biotechnology
... the most significant biotech discoveries in our time--the polymerase chain reaction. Transforming the practice and potential of molecular biology, PCR extends scientists' ability to identify and manipulate genetic materials and accurately reproduce...
Nobel Prize genius Crick was high on LSD when he discovered the secret of life
... He even put his name to a famous letter to The times in 1967 calling for a reform in the drugs laws. It was through his membership of Soma that Crick inadvertently became the inspiration for the biggest LSD manufacturing conspiracy-the world ha...
Ontogeny of the behavioral effects of lysergic acid diethylamide in cats
... constant through 112 days postpartum. The time course for the behavioral effects following an acute injection of LSD showed the adult pattern, i.e., persisting for approximately 8 hr post-injection, from their earliest appearance during ontog...
The Value of Psychedelic Information
... has high durability and changes very slowly over time. Cultural information falls in the category of language-based memes and regional or tribal traditions. Cultural information may be shared across cultures or may be restricted to a specific regi...
The psychotomimetic effects of short-term sensory deprivation
... especially over extended periods of time. However, there is little evidence concerning short-term sensory deprivation and whether its effects differ depending on the individual concerned, and in particular their proneness to psychosis. ...

Pre-semantically defined temporal windows for cognitive processing
... on temporal-order threshold, choice reaction time, single-cell activities, evoked responses in neuronal populations or latency distributions of oculomotor responses. The other mechanism refers to pre-semantic integration in the temporal range of...
The Phase of Ongoing EEG Oscillations Predicts Visual Perception
... particular, since phase varies on a much faster timescale than the more sluggish amplitude fluctuations, phase effects could reveal the fine-grained neural mechanisms underlying perception. We presented brief flashes of light at the individual lumi...
The continuous Wagon Wheel Illusion is object-based
... perceptual reversals occur in either half at a time, but rarely in both. When the two halves physically move in compatible directions, they generally appear to reverse simultaneously: the illusion keeps the perceptual object united. Rather than th...
EEG coherence in post-LSD visual hallucinations
... Coherence, a measure of spectral similarity over time, may estimate cortical coupling. In the eyes-open state in HPPD subjects, widespread reduction of coherence was noted. However, upon eye closure, the occipital region demonstrated augmented regio...
... to interact with the environment in real time. PerceptionA conscious system must receive input, this input is called perception. For humans perceptual input is received as sense data moving towards the brain from the peripheral nervous sys...
Gamma coherence and conscious perception
... correlations across pairs of channels at various time epochs for each patient and each perception state across multiple bandwidths. Results: Gamma coherence occurs in the primary somatosensory cortex approximately 150 to 300 milliseconds after co...
... C happens, then outcome C will be the same every time person A takes drug B in X amount. This is essence of clinical drug therapy; we expect drugs to give us the same results in every instance. But this is not always true with psychedelics; psychede...
Psychedelic Information Theory

What is Psychedelic Information Theory?
... of increasing complexity of information over time. Novelty theory encompasses a large time-scale, but PIT is specifically focused on the spontaneous production of complex information in the human organism, which is also known as creativity theor...
