Ever wondered how hallucinogens like Salvia Divinorum affect the brain? In this episode, Neurofeedback legend Jay Gunkelman shares insights from a groundbreaking EEG study that captured 10-second, 1000-microvolt brain waves during a live altered state experiment. We also dive deep into the neurochemistry of consciousness, the science of near-death experiences, and why EEG analysis needs an upgrade.
