The Effects of Psychedelics on the Brain

The brain does look pretty different in the psychedelic state. Almost everywhere you want to look at it, you'll find a difference. The things that we would take for granted as just being reflections of reality are revealed to be constructions of the brain because we can experience them so differently while still being conscious. There are many different ways we might want to say things are more or less conscious. We have perceptual vividness. We have the vividness and integrity of the self. You might have the strength of memories.
