Why We See Fractals on PsychedelicsThe math linking brain structure to geometric hallucinations

Psychedelic Mind

Geometric patterns like spirals, tunnels, and lattices are universal to the psychedelic experience. This episode examines the work of Heinrich Klüver and mathematical biologists who mapped these "form constants" to the physical architecture of the visual cortex. We reveal how chaotic neural activity transforms into orderly hallucinations due to the specific wiring of the V1 area, connecting the subjective experience to the objective anatomy.
