Neural correlates of the DMT experience assessed with multivariate EEG
&gt; The present study’s findings significantly advance our understanding of the brain basis of one of the most unusual and intense altered states of consciousness known – previously likened to dreaming...<p>This study does not &quot;find that DMT produces a dream-like state&quot;; that was already well established. This study identifies the subtle brain activity that differentiates the hallucinations from dreaming.<p>&gt; This experience is often characterized by a sense of entering into an entirely ‘other’ ... dimension. It is not uncommon for people to describe encounters with sentient ‘entities’ or ‘presences’ within this perceived other world and for the experience to subsequently challenge beliefs about the nature of reality and consciousness.<p>These effects are what makes this drug so interesting and differentiates it from most hallucinogens and dreaming. It doesn&#x27;t just leave you with strange memories you know are nonsense. It creates experiences that feel real and invokes thoughts that cause you to question your understanding of reality.
