The entropic tongue: Disorganization of natural language under LSD

This placebo-controlled study (n=20) suggests that speech produced under the influence of LSD (75 μg) exhibits more entropy than normal speech. This allowed machine learning programs to identify speech produced under the influence of LSD without analyzing semantic content.

Neurochemical models of near-death experiences: A large-scale study based on the semantic similarity of written reports

This large-scale data-analytic study compared the semantic similarity of psychoactive trip reports (n≈15,000) and narrative accounts Near-Death Experiences (n=625), and found that ketamine (followed by salvinorin A and DMT) bared the most resemblance to the experience of 'dying'. The authors speculate that a ketamine model of Near-Death Experiences may indicate a neuroprotective function of endogenous NMDA antagonists released in the proximity of death.

Genuine and drug-induced synesthesia: a comparison

This review (2012) systematically compares different types of synaesthesia (genuine, acquired, and drug-induced) concerning their phenomenological features and their relation to etiological models. Drug-induced forms of synaesthesia exhibit greater intensity on a much broader phenomenological spectrum, which appears to be based on functional changes in brain activity, whereas acquired synaesthesia points to morphological differences as their underlying cause.
