The Big & Dandy Psychedelic Media Thread

Does anyone remember that website where you could click your mouse button and it would make this 3D artwork scroll past your screen? It was like you were going into a tunnel and each part of the artwork merged into the next part. Really really fantastic.

Wish I remembered the website. :(
 
Yeah, I do remember... I can't remember where it is though. It was like going ever-farther into a picture that kept revealing more, right?

National Geographic Channel recently had a documentary about LSD, which i heard was very good.
I wasnt ablle to find the documentary but they have a few short clips on their website.

I highly recomend them.

i especially like the one where they showed Nichols making it and it was just this spinning, glowing band of LSD.
 
Interesting math article on geometric patterns in psychedelic visuals

Uncoiling the spiral: Maths and hallucinations
by Marianne Freiberger

http://plus.maths.org/issue53/features/hallucinations/index.html

For the tl;dr crowd: basically, a chain of research starting when some scientists tried mescaline in the 20's and noticed the tendency to produce mathematically derived pattern visuals led to an interesting theory about why this happens. The portion of the brain that 'maps' visual data onto a 2d representation of our visual field (V1) is thought to operate via a network of excitatory neurons (which cause other neurons they signal to fire off more often) and inhibitory neurons (which do just the oppose - slow other neurons down). A stable equilibrium of these two types of action produce the static image we normally see. Psychedelics somehow mess with V1, and mathematically, when you introduce a point of disturbance to such a system, this can cause a ripple effect between connected neurons and the end result tends to show a distinct mathematical pattern of changed activity.

Of course, cognitive science still can't really explain conscious experience directly, but it makes sense on an intuitive level that this might lead to complex geometric patterns, either superimposed on the 'real' image we see in the case of open-eye pattern distortions or as the only visual image when there should be only darkness as with CEVs. This makes sense to me, as CEVs tend to be much clearer for me and also more likely to appear as relatively static geometric patterns. There's obviously more to psychedelic visuals, especially the more engrossing hallucinations that contain content of their own beyond geometric patterns, but I found it quite interesting and thought I'd share it.
 
^Cool. People interested in this may be interested in flicker hallucinations. In certain sections the study compares flicker-induced hallucinations with psychedelic-induced ones (mescaline fans). Empty field flicker (similar to old style TV snow) can induce hallucinations of lattices, concentric circles, fan shapes, and other things resembling the geometric patterning of open eye visuals.
 
Best thing I've seen on this BL in a long time. I go to school with quite a few people who will love this:)
 
A good friend of mine from my undergrad years, one with whom I shared and discussed many of my early psychedelic experiences, passed this on to me earlier today as a followup to a conversation I had with him about 2C-E the other night. I'll have to let him know it was a hit here on BL :) After my chat with him, it occurred to me that BL feels a lot like the in-depth conversations I have with friends like him about drugs in general and psychedelics and dissociatives in particular, so I figured this would be a perfect place to share that link.
