Neurofeedback

[Oxide]

Hello Everyone!

I', new to these forums. I have a passion for substances that make you trip. I've always wondered though if one could train themselves using neurofeedback to 'trip' without any added chemicals.

If you don't know what neurofeedback is, you should check it out. Its very intriguing.

I haven't heard of anyone trying it out, and since there are open source plans to make your own EEG for neurofeedback, I do plan on someday experimenting with it and whole host of chemicals. It would be very interesting to find how much potential this has. The only possible risks I can see are becoming more susceptible to schizophrenia... but I'm not too worried about that. Any thoughts?

well you already stated the main problem, where you get the EEG?

Although I've seen a video on youtube about this guy whose name I cannot recall right now, he's always head shaven and wears glasses, the guy changes patterns in a display connected to his head through meditation techniques.

and I think with enough practice interesting results could be achieved

Hi there,

Interesting idea, this of the Neurofeedback, never heard of it before!

And triping without chemical aid...hummm, EEG (as the name suggests), only mesures electrical activity and as such it would provide only with a tiny bit of information of what really is going on during the trip, we would still be missing info on and everyother aspect involved in brain processes (chemical mechanisms, metabolic activation, etc)!

As the poster above me said (can't really read the nick, sorry ) intentional modulation of brain waves as been achieved previously, and relating that to tripping would be quite amusing!

Thanks a lot for the OpenEEG link, I think you just found me a summer project

I do not know what the hell is with us! Us "westerners"! We try to explain psydelics!? Why? Why you need hard proof evidence for something when you will not get it! Plant "media" (not copies of nature psychedelics and hers molecules or even worst, man made psydelics like ACID)act on hers own way and you can only explain it and feel it and measure it with your own mind-soul-perception! Machines can find some distortions from normal mind and "tripping mind" just like in case of normal mind and epilepsy!? But what this measurement tells you? NOTHING MY FRIEND! NOTHING! :!: :!:
I will give you directions what to follow and explain: Using of psydelics and explaining months and months after voyage what you have learned, given, founded, etc. :idea: 8)

Peace
Light
Bless
