Purkinje Patterns: Key to Hallucinations Found

I saved this article about hallucinations to my delicious late last year and finally got around to reading it. It’s a good article on the discovery of the origin of some hallucinations.

I wonder what Terrance McKenna would have thought about this. Does anyone know if he ever studied or wrote about Purkinje patterns or phenomena?

Postscript: I’m not a big fan of McKenna or his supernatural beliefs, but I did enjoy the afterword he penned for In Pursuit of Valis: Selections from the Exegesis, edited by Lawrence Sutin.

Post-Postscript: Lawrence Sutin’s PKD biography Divine Invasions: A Life of Philip K. Dick is excellent and highly recommended whether you are a Dick-head or simply a casual scifi reader.
