Auras

  an article describing how auras are propagated in the human brain The Myth of the Mind's Aurora Auroras do not propagate in the human brain, as they are large-scale space weather events that occur exclusively in Earth's upper atmosphere. Because the human body is shielded by Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, the literal atmospheric phenomena cannot occur inside human tissue. However, the phrase "auroras in the brain" is frequently used as a metaphor in science journalism, art, and neuroscience to describe complex electrical patterns, optical illusions, or specific medical conditions. Why Auroras Only Happen in Space To understand why auroras cannot exist in the brain, it helps to look at what actually creates them: Solar Wind: The sun ejects a constant stream of charged particles (electrons and protons). Magnetic Shielding: Earth's magnetic field channels these particles toward the polar regions. Atmospheric Collision: The particles collide with gases li...

a CHATGPT discussion about the interactions of THETA WAVE generation and the processes of normal visual perception in the VISUAL CORTEX under the influence of PSILOCYBIN

NEEDS SOME PICTURES HERE X X X X https://share.google/aimode/pA8RerNUiz8rVE0vV Psilocybin generally reduces overall power in slower brain wave bands, including theta (4–8 Hz), alpha, and delta rhythms , while increasing faster beta and gamma activity. This shift desynchronizes standard resting-state networks like the default mode network (DMN), moving the brain into a flexible, highly interconnected state. [1, 2, 3] General Effects on Theta Waves Power Reduction: Electroencephalogram (EEG) and MEG studies show that acute doses of psilocybin significantly decrease overall spectral power in slower frequency bands like theta and alpha. [2] Disrupted Coupling: Psilocybin alters phase-amplitude coupling, meaning it decouples slow theta rhythms from faster gamma wave cycles in certain cortical areas. [4] Reduced Top-Down Control: Lower slow-wave activity is linked to a breakdown of rigid, habitual processing and standard filtering by core hubs like the anterior cingulate cortex. [5] R...

YET MORE GOOD NEWS ABOUT PSILOCYBIN ... SOME EXTRAORDINARILY THOROUGH RESEARCH

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-71962-3 Abstract Psychedelics have robust effects on acute brain function and long-term behavior but whether they also cause enduring functional and anatomical brain changes is largely unknown. In an exploratory, placebo-controlled, within-subjects, electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study in 28 healthy, entirely psychedelic-naive participants, anatomical and functional brain changes are detected from one-hour to one-month after a single high-dose (25 mg) of psilocybin. Increases in cognitive flexibility, psychological insight, and well-being are seen at one-month. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) done before and one-month after 25 mg psilocybin reveals decreased axial diffusivity bilaterally in prefrontal-subcortical tracts that correlate with decreases in brain network modularity (fMRI) over the same month. Enduring functional brain changes are largely absent, but network modularity change (numerical decrease) n...
