The Antipodes of the Mind: Charting the Phenomenology of the Ayahuasca Experience
A cognitive psychologist's systematic, comparative catalogue of the ayahuasca visionary experience — the closest existing scholarly attempt to map which discrete forms and themes recur across many people. It is foundational for the cross-substance side of this record: the same "do independent people see the same structured content?" question, asked rigorously of ayahuasca decades before this project. Descriptive phenomenology, explicitly agnostic on whether the visions correspond to anything external. ISBN 9780199252923.
