Building a Science of Consciousness

In this episode, we discuss the preliminary findings of our research into visual tracers on altered states of consciousness. We explain how we developed a fine-grained vocabulary and an interactive tool to allow users to replicate the effects in detail. We share our current understanding of the characteristics of tracers for each of the conditions we have datapoints for, and argue that they might have unexpected applications. Finally, we explain how to generalize this paradigm to other core psychedelic effects.
