Sinopsis
Psychedelic Information Theory is a formal
analysis of the physical mechanisms
underlying hallucination, shamanic ritual, and
expanded states of consciousness. Written by
James L. Kent, this text was researched for over
20 years and includes over 200 references and 31
images related to the latest science in the
diverse fields of pharmacology, shamanism, and
perception. As a succinct yet comprehensive
formal analysis of the nonlinear dynamics of
hallucination and shamanic ritual, Psychedelic
Information Theory is destined to become the
modern textbook on psychedelic
phenomena.Chapters include information on the
physiology of perception, types of visual
hallucination, psychedelic pharmacology,
psychedelic neuroplasticity, chaos theory,
shamanic therapy, shamanic sorcery, and group
mind phenomena related to psychedelic
consciousness.Psychedelic Information Theory
will prove, no doubt, to be an important work
primarily because it provides researchers, in
both the sciences and humanities, with numerous
new avenues down which to investigate. PIT
provides us with a serious, and in many respects
successful, recalibration of the different
psychedelic knowledge bases. In great respect to
the author, I believe PIT will attract both
plaudits and criticism with equal fervour and,
in doing so, help proliferate serious psychedelic
research for some time to come.- Rob Dickens,
PsyPressUK.com Review, December 2010In his new
book, Psychedelic Information Theory Shamanism
in the Age of Reason, James Kent has attempted
to describe both the experience and underlying
mechanisms of
4
consciousness, in the language of classical wave
mechanics, with terms like neural oscillators,
periodic drivers, wave entrainment, resonance and
coherence. His book offers the first steps in
developing a more refined and quantifiable theory
and terminology of psychedelic action. It
suggests many rich opportunities for further
research that are bound to reveal some pragmatic
and novel applications. Not since The Invisible
Landscape, by the McKenna brothers, have I found
a book so original and propitious.- Jedi Mind
Traveler, Evolver.net Interview, January
2011James L. Kent has proven himself to be the
'Mythbuster' of the New Psychedelic Age. His
book, Psychedelic Information Theory is the
everyman's guide to inner consciousness,
unraveling the scientific foundations of altered
states. PIT challenged my views on the
psychedelic experience I might not agree with
some of the conclusions, but I have a firmer
grip on the basics because of it. Kent helps
outline the mechanics of the mind, but his
reductionist approach also leaves room for
further mysteries to grow.- Rak Razam, author of
Aya A Shamanic Odyssey, November 2010Kent's
clear trail through volumes of research gave me
a solid understanding of how rod and cone vision,
phosphenes, the visual information processing
rate, and the brain's pattern-recognition
function all come together or come apart to
modulate hallucinatory states. Kent deserves a
place next to Grof on the psychonaut's,
scientist's, and psychologist's bookshelf.-
