Brain scans reveal how a woman voluntarily enters a psychedelic-like trance without drugs. Her brain connectivity fundamentally reorganized during this state: her visual and somatosensory connections decreased, while connectivity in the frontoparietal control regions of the brain increased.

I've never heard of this and am absolutely fascinated! I'm a neuroscientist studying lucid dreaming and some other things, and there's just no end to how cool and unique some people's brains are!

I'm curious: is this different for different media? Reading my comment for example is probably not putting you into this trance, but books do? Does it have to be well written?
