Informal Discussion of Topics

... like a screen saver algorithm or stacked video feedback loop. The Shulgin scale does not attempt to model this kind of complexity in hallucination, nor should it. PIT is attempting to model a more granular level of sensory detail. You say e...

Conclusions and Discussion

... reel, perception is more like a compressed MPEG video or an animation that updates a full keyframe every few frames, and only makes minor layering changes in between each keyframe. For instance, if you are standing in a grassy meadow watching a bir...

Replicable functional magnetic resonance imaging evidence of correlated brain signals between physically isolated subjects.

... was placed 30 feet away and sat in front of a video monitor that presented an alternating schedule of six stimulus-on/stimulus-off conditions. The stimulus- on condition consisted of a flickering checkerboard pattern whereas the stimulus-off cond...

What is Nonlinear Hallucination?

... has destabilized and become nonlinear. A video feedback loop is an good example of a nonlinear perceptual system (Fig. 2); each frame captures itself and the previous frame, and then itself and the two previous frames, and then itself and th...

Erratic Hallucination

... of any movement, similar to visual flange or video feedback (Fig. 3). While holding the eyes still an increase in frame overlay makes solid objects crystallize into something very fascinating and precious like a faceted jewel, creating a quality...

An Overview of Physical Shamanism

... the beginning. The best writing, artwork, and video emulating the psychedelic experience must be created after the fact, sometimes painstakingly so. The visual reconstruction of psychedelic memory is a labor intensive process; a single subjective...

42nd Street

Set during the depression, this is the granddaddy of backstage musicals in which the understudy finally gets a chance to shine. It may seem a little cliché now, but in 1933 this was hot stuff. All that behind-the-scenes atmosphere feels very genuine...

Chaotic fingerprints and space-time labyrinths

video Feedback is a great example of real-time evolving self-organising systems near the edge of chaos. With a relatively simple camera-monitor/TV set-up you can produce a vast spectrum of time-based fractal species, many of which bare great similari...

Softology - Video Feedback

video feedback is the process of pointing a camera at the screen displaying the camera's output. This creates a feedback loop of images infinitely repeating onto and over themselves creating interesting patterns. An initial curious result has become ...

Timewarp: How your brain creates the fourth dimension

... experiment, healthy volunteers learned to play a video game in which they had to steer a plane around obstacles. Once people became used to the game, the researchers modified it to insert a 0.2-second delay in the plane's response to volunteers movi...
