... a resonant oscillator? How does harmonic resonance apply to the brain? An oscillator is just another term for a wave or vibration, so any system that has a cycling frequency, which is just about everything, is an oscillator. When two oscill...

... oscillators, periodic 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 ...
... can be controlled via the 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 und...
... oscillators, periodic 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 ...
Multistability in a driven nonlinear system controlled by weak subharmonic perturbations
It is shown that weak resonant perturbations at sub-harmonic frequencies can induce and control multi-stability in a wide class of nonlinear systems, which display the period doubling route into chaos or possess isolated subharmonic branches. The num...
... (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments have suggested that correlated neural signals may be detected in the brains of individuals who are physically and sensorily isolated from each other. Functional MR...

Hypnotic Entrainment and Induced Trance States
... trance states begin with the concepts of wave resonance and entrainment. Resonance is the quality of any oscillating system (waves in a neural network) to reach maximum amplitude (power) when stimulated with periodic drivers (pulses) at a specifi...
Psi-verts and Psychic Piracy: The Future of Parapsychology?
... effect was also found using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology[2] - even localising the spot in the brain where the effect was detected - and so these findings, repeated with different technologies, cannot be easily explained a...

... even the air around me was vibrating in acoustic resonance with the icaro of the maestro. The shaman knows when the healing is complete, as the design is clearly distinct in the patient’s body. It make take a few sessions to complete this, ...
An Overview of Physical Shamanism
... the hallucinogenic voice grows in strength, the resonance of its standing wave then couples with and drives the amplitude of all internal physiological processes.4 The Control Interrupt Model of Psychedelic Action posits that these spirit voices ...
PET and MRI of the thalamus in never-medicated patients with schizophrenia

... of physics, entrainment appears to be related to resonance. In the study of chronobiology, entrainment occurs when rhythmic physiological or behavioral events match their period to an environmental oscillation (termed a zeitgeber, which is German...

Trajectory selection in multistable systems using periodic drivings
It is common for a periodically driven nonlinear system to have coexistent attractors. Specifically, we are interested in the case where one of these attractors is a limit cycle whose period is an integer multiple of that of the driving. Suppose tha...
