Psychotropic Drug-Induced Transformations of Visual Space

International Pharmacopsychiatry 1971 R. Fischer, R.M. Hill 7 citations

It was found that ergotropic arousal-inducing drugs, such as psilocybin, a Ditran®-type 'glycolate' and D-amphetamine, significantly lower human spatial distortion thresholds, i.e. these drugs interfere with counter-adaptation to optical distortion, or the intention to see the world undistorted.

Psilocybin-Induced Transformations of Visual Space

Pharmacopsychiatry July 1, 1970 R.M. Hill, R. Fischer 6 citations

Using apparent fronto-parallel plane (AFP) monitoring techniques, the relative stability of the abathic plane, i.e., Euclidean visual space, was investigated in 16 volunteers with a median age of 23.5 years under 160 µg/kg psilocybin-induced ergotropic arousal. Handwriting area and pressure were also measured in the same subjects.
