Why is the world’s oldest artwork thought to be psychedelically inspired? What does sound look like on mescaline? What do blind people see on psychedelics? Is it possible in altered states to see the extra space-time dimensions proposed by physicists? How does it feel to have your asymmetry sung straight? People describe the weirdest experiences on psychedelics, … even spiders make strange webs under the influence. What can be understood about art and perception from scientific research into psychedelics?

David Luke, PhD, is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Greenwich, UK, where he teaches an undergraduate course on the Psychology of Exceptional Human Experiences, focusing on his two main interests of psychedelics and the paranormal. He is also a guest lecturer at the University of Northampton, UK, for the MSc in Transpersonal Psychology and Consciousness Studies and is past president of the Parapsychological Association. Since 2008 he has directed the Ecology, Cosmos and Consciousness lecture series at the October Gallery in Bloomsbury, London, and is one of the core organizers of the Breaking Convention: A Multidisciplinary Meeting on Psychedelic Consciousness (due to return 12-14 July 2013).

even spiders make strange webs under the influence

I would love to see what some spider web patterns would look like after being administered some DMT :shock:

Sounds like this would have been fun. I suppose I will catch up with Dr. Luke some other time.

Global, we tried blowing micro changa hits at a spider who was making a web. He stopped spinning and stayed perfectly still for a loooong time. We thought he was dead. Then he up and crawled away, never to be seen again. Abandoned his web and all. Guess he had that old "my life is meaningless" trip.

Heheheheh
