This survey course will examine altered states
of consciousness (ASC) including those induced by meditation, hypnosis, sensory
deprivation, music, and substances. ASCs will be explored from the perspectives
of neuroscience, psychology, consciousness research, parapsychology, and
anthropology. As this is a survey course, it provides essentially an overview
of a spectrum of ASCs, with a deeper exploration/focus on dreams.
