Experiments
This page is dedicated to non-drug, practical demonstrations which allow the public to experience the different aspects of the psychedelic experience. All aspects listed below are demonstrated to the the physical attendees of the Fundamentals of Psychedelics lecture series.
Psychedelic Visual Experience
Low Intensity
Specific optical illusions can demonstrate some of the visual effects experienced during the psychedelic experience. Most notably static pictures becoming animated. A quick example of this is illustrated in Figure 1.
High Intensity
A bright light which flashes at the same speed as the transmission rate of the optical nerve can induce visual hallucinations similar to effects induced by psychedelic substances.
Out of Body Experiences
Ketamine is a dissociative which is well known for causing out of body experiences (OBE).
Astral Projection
A common reported effect of psychedelic is the feeling that one leaves their body, i.e. and OBE however there is a reimbodyment in another.
