Psychedelic drugs and perception: a narrative review of the first era of research

This historic review (2021) examines a series of studies conducted in the first and second eras of psychedelic research which examine the perceptual effects of psychedelic drugs and highlights certain commonalities, such as a shared interest in the perception of music. While most studies investigated how psychedelics affect vision across every level of visual processing (e.g., retinal, cortical, subcortical, low-level visual processing, complex visual imagery), other studies investigated its effect on auditory discrimination, the neural correlates of auditory processing, and auditory hallucinations restricted to a subset of participants. Some studies also demonstrated that psychedelics can distort representations of body schema, time perception, taste, olfaction, and synesthesia, but these areas still remain understudied.

Possible role of biochemiluminescent photons for lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)-induced phosphenes and visual hallucinations

This review (2016) appraises the role of bioluminescent photons in LSD-induced visual hallucinations/phosphenes. LSD induced visual hallucinations may be due to the transient enhancement of bioluminescent photons in the early retinotopic visual system in blinds as well as in healthy people.
