visionary plants): what is the best method to study them? And for how long have humans used them? keywords: altered states of consciousness, enculturation, evolutionary neuroanthropology, hallucinogens, shamanism. Entoptic Imagery, covers a wide range of visual phenomena experienced by human beings under altered states of mind. tween entoptic phenomena and geometric and iconic forms in African and. Finally, the authors discuss issues around the cultural use of hallucinogens (a.k.a. and animal images across the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age (Xia, Shang. Next, the interview addresses both how alterations of consciousness are universally similar (the perennialist view) and can also be enculturated (the constructivist view). Winkelman's concepts of the "integrative mode of consciousness" and "psychointegrators" are subsequently examined. Turning to issues bearing on the taxonomy of consciousness, the interview explores how consciousness should be individuated and especially how many "modes" of consciousness should be identified based on what we know of the biology and phenomenology of altered consciousness. The authors then discuss the promises of the "big data" approach to the study of religion as well as evolutionary puzzles about religion. number of anthropomorphic images increases in the Bronze Age (2nd.
Next, the upsides and downsides of evolutionary psychology are examined the fruitfulness of this approach in the study of cultural phenomena such as shamanism is debated. They operate in a shared sphere of interactions between animals, humans and gods. In Stage Two subjects try to make sense of the entoptic phenomena they are. Hallucinatory images may last from minutes to hours. Hallucinatory palinopsia resembles a complex visual hallucination of an image or scene previously seen by a person.
First, the main tenets of two neuroanthropological approaches to consciousness and culture are outlined. In San imagery, anthropomorphic figures with antelope heads and hoofs are. Individuals with palinopsia usually have associated symptoms as well, such as photopsias, dysmetropsia, visual snow, oscillopsia, entoptic phenomena, and cerebral polyopia. In this interview, Michael Winkelman and Martin Fortier discuss the extent to which consciousness is grounded in deep evolutionary mechanisms and can be enculturated.
