His group did extensive research on the use of hallucinogens along with "programming the biocomputer" techniques to treat various psychological disorders.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">My introduction to LSD was via participation in a research project at Macalester College (1969). We were wired to a rack mounted computer system with electrode patches all over our shaved heads registering brain wave patterns. The study also compared LSD altered states with meditation and Hatha Yoga induced states. One experiment used inversion glasses to mess with perception and the "adjustment phase altered state" while the brain 're-programmed' itself to an upside-down world.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">Therapeutic effects for depression were noted then.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">The research done then would never be approved today because it involved human subjects and "dangerous" substances: LSD, psylocibin, and mescaline.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">davew<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div>On Tue, Mar 15, 2022, at 3:18 PM, Marcus Daniels wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style="overflow-wrap:break-word;"><div class="qt-WordSection1"><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.kernel.com/participate">https://www.kernel.com/participate</a><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"> <br></p><div style="border-right-color:currentcolor;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:medium;border-bottom-color:currentcolor;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:medium;border-left-color:currentcolor;border-left-style:none;border-left-width:medium;border-image-outset:0;border-image-repeat:stretch;border-image-slice:100%;border-image-source:none;border-image-width:1;border-top-color:rgb(225, 225, 225);border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1pt;padding-top:3pt;padding-right:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0in;"><p class="qt-MsoNormal"></p><div><b>From:</b> Friam <friam-bounces@redfish.com> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Merle Lefkoff<br></div><div> <b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, March 15, 2022 3:15 PM<br></div><div> <b>To:</b> The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <friam@redfish.com><br></div><div> <b>Subject:</b> Re: [FRIAM] altered states of consciousness<br></div><p></p></div><p class="qt-MsoNormal"> <br></p><div><div><div><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="font" style="font-family:"Verdana", sans-serif;">Marcus, please send the link.
