... formal characteristics of amplitude, frequency, coherence, decay, and so on. This allows a system to be described by predictive physical or mathematical models. Once you break any physical interaction down to a formal wave model, you've essentially...
Reviews for Psychedelic Information Theory
... drivers, wave entrainment, resonance and coherence. Of particular interest are his characterizations of psychedelic agents as nonlinear feedback amplifiers, and descriptions of shamanic technique as periodic drivers to entrain a psychonaut's...
... fundamentals of wave resonance, entrainment, and coherence. The third component is an overview of Nonlinear Hallucination, a formal analysis of the dynamics of entoptic, eidetic, and erratic hallucinations experienced under the influence of psychede...
... drivers, wave entrainment, resonance, and coherence. Entrainment is the capacity for one oscillator to synchronize the frequency of a group of oscillators; resonance is the capacity for one oscillator to drive the amplitude of another oscilla...
5-HT2A Agonism and Multisensory Binding
... would drive sudden localized feedback coherence, nonlinear signal amplification, and frame latency errors. The sudden shift from stabilized brain focus to states of elicited thalamocortical feedback excitation can be described in terms of...

... hallucinogenic interrupt it will naturally seek coherence with the strongest local periodic driver. In some cases the strongest local driver may be the shaman, it may be the jungle, it may be the city, it may be the croaking frogs and crickets, it ...
Group Mind and Fluid Tribal Dynamics
... in distributed tasking is limited to intuitive coherence of motor behavior to fulfill specific tasks and group functions. Behavioral cooperation and functional stability in group mind states is mediated through intuitive, nonverbal synchrony testi...
... fraternities, and militias haze subjects into coherence in a matter of days or weeks. Bonding can also be artificially induced through drugs, group mind rituals, or through the stress of surviving combat or a natural disaster with a small group o...
Hypnotic Entrainment and Induced Trance States
... are firing in synchrony there is said to be coherence between these areas, which means they are most likely engaged in a complex distributed processing task. When neurons are coupled together in a recurrent network the rapid pulses sent back an...
What is Nonlinear Hallucination?
... input is a nonlinear bifurcation of multisensory coherence. Perceiving dream images superimposed over external space is nonlinear destabilization of visual memory recall. Seeing the formal boundaries of solid objects bend and melt into each other is...
Impairments in frontal cortical gamma synchrony and cognitive control in schizophrenia
A critical component of cognitive impairments in schizophrenia can be characterized as a disturbance in cognitive control, or the ability to guide and adjust cognitive processes and behavior flexibly in accordance with one's intentions and goals. Cog...
An Overview of Physical Shamanism
... patterns to entrain both global and regional coherence of multi-stable neural oscillators. The techniques of physical shamanism are often used with a hallucinogen in order to entrance or hypnotize a subject or group of subjects into a targeted m...

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...

Notes on Sensory Binding and Coherence
... brain areas based on their wave properties, coherence is a term used to indicate strong signal strength and cooperation between areas. Areas that are high in coherence may act like coupled oscillators in a feedback circuit, or they may take the...
EEG coherence in post-LSD visual hallucinations

Theta and gamma coherence along the septotemporal axis of the hippocampus
... The present study examined theta and gamma coherence along the septotemporal (long) axis of the hippocampus in rats during REM sleep, a behavioral state during which theta signals are unaffected by external sensory input or ongoing behavior. U...
Gamma coherence and conscious perception
