[edit] what
what is the cause of "CEV perception level 1: visual noise"? Tentative candidates are:
- cortically generated
- autofluorescence in visual organs
- red blood cells visible somehow
- light through eyelids
[edit] Poor Article
This article really needs a clean up. It reads like somebody copy and pasted a bunch of text from erowid.org. The article should have names, descriptions of the hallucinations, causes. It should read like an encyclopedia entry. It is also factually incorrect. I have personally taught several hundred people how to reach the so-called "level 4" in a single meditation session -- with no drugs.
As I'm not qualified to fix it myself, I'm putting the cleanup template up. 216.99.209.252 09:20, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I agree that this article is lacking credibility. The statements made in the article can not be attributed to erowid. There are major contradictions between the article and information available at erowid. Since erowid does provide information on the effects different substances I placed an external link. There are things that I personally feel is not correct based on my own experiences. I will try to find legitimate references before making changes. 65.43.32.36 08:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I would be interested to know more about the causes of these hallucinations, as I experience them mildly in abscence of drug use.68.253.32.54 09:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
As noted this seems innaccurate: I achieve level 4 without even meditating these days (however, it was meditation that caused my first level 4 experience) I'm not sure my level 4 experience could even be described as mild, they're highly vivid, and solid object-based, although they rarely include full surroundings. At the time of my first such experience the only significantly psychoactive chemical I had ever ingested was caffeine. There seems to be a generally overestimation of the difficulty of achieving these levels in this article (well, either that or I have a much easier time than normal) I won't edit it myself unless I can find a citation one way or the other on that issue. -Kingreaper 16:19, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Note
Image burn-in -> Afterimage? There's an article for afterimage but not for "image burn-in" and comparing the two it seems that they are the same thing.
