... maximizing the potential energy of the circuit, then they are said to be in resonant coherence. When an oscillating system phase-locks into resonant coherence with another oscillator, energy is amplified and the phase-locked system becomes...
... in PIT. Analyzing perception as a single wave or circuit is a very crude simplification of much more complex sensory process, but the general models of feedback control, destabilization, and chaos apply universally in all oscillating information sys...

About Psychedelic Information Theory
... abandoned this approach. In 2006 I adopted a circuit model of psychedelic activation I dubbed Signal Theory, which emphasized the role of recurrent excitation in cortical networks as the source of hallucinogenesis.6 A summary of this theory was ...
Crude cognitive schematic of waking consciousness
This is a simple schematic of human cognitive workflow that follows perceptual signal through the brain. Starting at the left with the two inputs (audio and visual) you can chart the flow of signal through the various processing levels until you ulti...
Group Mind and Fluid Tribal Dynamics
... between two or more minds coupled in the same circuit is subjectively perceived as nonverbal communication, group mind, intuition, telepathy, or psi. Examples of synchrony testing and error correction exist in all forms of communication. When i...
Hypnotic Entrainment and Induced Trance States
... wave amplitude and global coherence in the group circuit. Discussion of periodic resonant oscillators and entrainment is essentially a physics-based deconstruction of music’s power to induce and lock targeted mind states, which is something we all...
Physical Shamanism and Shamanic Therapy
... and in this state the shaman becomes the circuit driver or resonator, the oscillator with the most power to amplify or dampen signal coupling strength within the entire circuit. Acting as a hypnotic entrainer, the shaman can place the patien...

... homeostatic regulator,12 but when we short-circuit this regulator we find that modular sub-functions of consciousness can be uncoupled and accessed in novel ways.13 EEG studies of subjects with HPPD have shown that when the visual cortex loses...

Bypassing interneurons: inhibition in neocortex
A recent paper suggests a new form of inhibitory circuit in cortex, in which a pyramidal cell directly excites the presynaptic terminal of an inhibitory interneuron, allowing the rapid and powerful inhibition of another pyramidal cell....

Presynaptic regulation of recurrent excitation by D1 receptors in prefrontal circuits
