Philosophical Speculations

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41398-021-01603-4 Human EEG studies with serotonergic psychedelics consistently report a broadband spectral power decrease (delta to gamma) most pronounced within the alpha band (8–12 Hz) and a decrease in functional connectivity and integrity of networks [21,22,23,2...

LSD dose-dependently reduced oscillatory power across delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma frequency bands during both eyes closed and eyes open resting conditions. During the oddball task, LSD dose-dependently reduced ERP amplitudes for P300 and N170 components and increased P100 latency. LSD also...

Yes, I've tried high doses of DPT and 5-MeO-DMT and medium doses of 2-CB and 1P-LSD 1P-LSD and 2C-B weren't that profound but after DPT and 5-MeO breakthroughs I went from physicalist atheist to seriously considering Idealism now. However, there is still the assumption of other alters to make if you...

Dave, For many years it has been understood that slow waves are associated with deep sleep and faster waves are associated with wakefulness. Dreaming sleep actually also involves faster spikes in certain brain regions. Deep sleep is similar to the effects of anesthesia. Psychedelics do not complete...

While we replicated previous findings concerning decreased power in the alpha band [4–11], including work showing that this depends on 5-HT2A receptor stimulation [9], some discrepancies appeared in the time course of alpha power changes after DMT inhalation in the present study. Reduced alpha powe...

We don't have that possibility yet but let's say in the future when we will know everything there is to know about what is necessary to be able to form a memory of an experience, and somehow turn off all brain activity except what is necessary for imprinting in memory. Then just ask a person if they...
