Description

Altered States of Consciousness: Experiences Out of Time and Self

A groundbreaking study of what happens to our sense of time and self during extraordinary moments of consciousness, such as meditation, psychedelics, or out-of-body experiences. Neuropsychologist Marc Wittmann explores how these altered states can help us understand the mystery of consciousness.

Wittmann examines the neural underpinnings of these experiences and discusses recent research on the relationship between consciousness of time and consciousness of self. He also considers the emergence of the self in waking life and dreams, and how our sense of time is distorted by extreme situations.
