Feb 18, 2024

Dive into the fascinating world of consciousness and perception with Andres Gomez Emilsson as he explores the neural mechanics of hallucination, psychedelic experiences, and altered states of consciousness. Discover insights into the mysteries of the mind, the refresh rate of perception, and the Cartesian theater. Uncover the shared experience of DMT entities, the geometry of DMT, and the realignment mechanisms post-psychedelic use.

Episode notes

INSIGHT

DMT and Vibrations

DMT affects consciousness by making it more fluid and causing blood vessels to vibrate.
These vibrations, especially when coherent, contribute to the geometric hallucinations characteristic of DMT.

INSIGHT

Thalamus and Experience

The thalamus may be the physical location of experience, with the cortex acting as a filter.
The thalamus-cortical loop is essential for consciousness, as evidenced by dreaming and the effects of thalamus damage.

INSIGHT

Control Interrupt Model

The control interrupt model suggests the cortex inhibits predictable information, leading to a focus on deviations.
Psychedelics may disrupt this inhibition, causing an accumulation of sensations and the emergence of geometric patterns.

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
