I'm in the honors program at my college and it requires undergraduates to complete a thesis before graduation. My working title right now is, "Ego Dissolution in Altered States of Consciousness: Sociological Implications and Biological Explanations". Most of it will be about psychedelics, and some will be about meditation. My prospectus is due next Friday and I haven't made much progress on it. Basically, it needs to be an outline of what my research/findings will be about specifically as well as my schedule for meeting times with my director and 2nd committee member.
Any ideas on what to include as far as the sociological implications or biological explanations of ego dissolution? I'm thinking about mentioning the 60s counterculture and how psychs played a major role. And for biological explanations, I'm obviously going to look into MRI studies that have been done. Mainly the brain activity during subjective ego dissolution experiences. How the brain becomes more of a global network. I will also go in depth with Serotonin 5HT2A and its (heavy) role.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
