PIT Summary and Overview

... to produce multiple states at once, or multi-stability, which is subjectively perceived as expanded consciousness. As consciousness moves from linear to nonlinear complexity, information is spontaneously generated in the human mind with the recu...

Conclusions and Discussion

... strange attractors and phase-lock into multi-stability are subjectively perceived as ecstatic, beautiful, spiritual, insightful, cleansing, healing, and transcendent. Extended periods of bifurcating complexity in cellular networks leads to state...

Geometric visual hallucinations, Euclidean symmetry and the functional architecture of striate cortex

... To complete the study we then investigate the stability of the planforms, using methods of nonlinear stability analysis, including Liapunov-Schmidt reduction and Poincaré-Lindstedt perturbation theory. We find a close correspondence between stab...

About Psychedelic Information Theory

... periodic interruption of multisensory frame stability.10 Once the Control Interrupt Model fell into place, Psychedelic Information Theory suddenly made sense again, and the entire PIT Alpha text was scrapped and rewritten from scratch. After...

Multistability in a driven nonlinear system controlled by weak subharmonic perturbations

... 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 number of attractors induced depends on the subharmonic...

Shamanic Sorcery

... seeks to minimize negative information and bring stability back to the matrix. While a shaman uses psychedelics as a medicine or sacrament to heal and gain insight, the sorcerer uses psychedelics as a weapon to gain power over peers and attack enemi...

Group Mind and Fluid Tribal Dynamics

... mechanisms to maintain oscillator coupling stability. Intuitive synchrony testing and error correction between two or more minds coupled in the same circuit is subjectively perceived as nonverbal communication, group mind, intuition, telepathy...

Physical Shamanism and Shamanic Therapy

... interference of multisensory frame stability.1 The same model applied to neural oscillators in a sensory network can be applied to cellular oscillators in an biological matrix. Many functions of metabolism and cellular signaling are mo...

Limits of Human Perception

... visualization is a baseline for perceptual stability; confusing the two would be problematic. The function of internal visualization is activated by the medial temporal lobe and modulated by neurotransmitter acetylcholine; psychedelics presuma...

Psilocybin-induced contraction of nearby visual space

... plane (AFP) monitoring techniques, the relative stability of the abathic plane, i.e. Euclidean visual space, was investigated in 16 volunteers with a median age of 23.5 years under 160 mgrg/kg psilocybininduced ergotropic arousal. Handwriting area ...

Eidetic Hallucination

... course of 24 hours is necessary for maintaining stability of consciousness. Activating eidetic memory consolidation with the use of psychedelics and extended REM trance-induction may be therapeutic for subjects suffering from depression, anxiety, o...

Erratic Hallucination

... originating in the loss of multisensory frame stability. Optical illusions that exploit rendering ambiguities in peripheral vision can be described as erratic hallucination (Fig. 1). Parasthesia, or phantom tingling sensations due to oxygen loss ...

Psychedelic Neuroplasticity

... scaffolding which maintains neural shape and stability. By activating expression of c-Fos and Arc proteins in PFC neurons, LSD may promote plasticity, cell proliferation, cell repair, and synaptic generation in neurons responsible for identity. ...

Entoptic Hallucination

... hallucinations is due to excitation and loss of stability in these retinal-cortical signal coupling pathways. The transition from seamless visual aliasing to spontaneous geometric patterns can be described as a transcritical or pitchfork bifurcatio...

Notes on Mental Illness

... which affects coherence and linear stability. These two examples compress a much larger discussion of how the degradation or loss of specific functions and operating properties of consciousness lead directly to specific pathologies. ...

What is Consciousness?

... all of which are necessary to maintain system stability.1 The minimum specific functions for any conscious system are: 1) perception; 2) recognition; 3) memory; 4) recall; and 5) behavior. The minimum specific operating properties for any conscio...

What is Psychedelic Information Theory?

... also draws on control theory, which models the stability and complexity of signal processing in dynamical systems. By applying control theory and systems theory to altered states of consciousness PIT is a formal analysis of the nonlinear dynamics ...

What Geometric Visual Hallucinations Tell Us about the Visual Cortex

Many observers see geometric visual hallucinations after taking hallucinogens such as LSD, cannabis, mescaline or psilocybin; on viewing bright ickering lights; on waking up or falling asleep; in “near-death” experiences; and in many other synd...

A mathematical theory of visual hallucination patterns

... net is analyzed in the neighborhood of an instability. Bifurcation theory and group theory are used to demonstrate the existence of a variety of doublyperiodic patterns, hexagons, rolls, etc., as solutions to the field equations for the net act...

The Control Interrupt Model of Psychedelic Action

... of consciousness, feedback control and system stability can be entrained back into coherence via external periodic drivers, including rhythmic motor activity, drumming, singing, chanting, rocking back and forth, dancing, and so on. It is no accid...
