This reminds me of the recent work out of Colin Bredenburg and others on top-down/bottom-up model of hallucinations: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Totally, or maybe higher-level (?) circuitry that identifies figures. I once had a hypoxia-induced hallucination of tiny vizcachas (rabbit-like animals) on a high-altitude Chilean volcano.

Diisopropyltryptamine produced auditory hallucinations, strange since it's similar to other classical psychedelics in the tryptamine family, including psilocybin.

It's not the only drug or even only mushroom with stereotyped hallucinations. Muscimol, from Amanita muscaria, commonly produces distortions of perceived body size.

Yes please. It's hardly possible to review the technical content, not to mention the citations

Shrinking the number of people you advise will lead to better mentorship, too.

Those pickles are so incredible, I agree

The upper and lower bounds here are the same but shouldn't be. Interestingly, for my student the overview mistakenly swapped the (correct) upper and lower bounds.

Congrats, that was a fun preprint to read.

Hah, nice take. I need to try more AI coding

Huh, cool, I'll need to look into your work more! We have a project in endocannabinoids effects on seizures and synchrony and may want to understand that mechanism

Interesting, at least in the work I did with preBot (breathing network), heterogeneity (esp I cells) decreased synchrony
