This academic book chapter (2016) explores the phenomenology, structure, and dynamic of altered states of consciousness (ASC) produced by classic serotonergic hallucinogens or psychedelics.
This book chapter (2018) examines the most common attributes of psychedelic-induced visual hallucinations, which entails visual intensification of brightness, contrast, and color saturation, alterations in object size, and changed perception of meaning and self-relevance. Other common features of visual distortions include recurrent patterns influenced by audiovisual synesthesia or even complex visual imagery that entails visions of people, animals, or landscapes. The authors discuss the underlying mechanisms of these phenomena, such as the role of 5-HT2A receptor activation which leads to the cortical excitation of regions that encode specific contents of hallucinations, and the effects of reduced alpha oscillations that amplify internally driven excitation signal to the point that they outweigh incoming sensory information.
