I'm curious as to how this explains geometric drug induced hallucinations. That has always puzzled me.

There's a good paper about how some geometric hallucinations are formed: http://people.mbi.ohio-state.edu/golubitsky.4/reprintweb-0.5...

Thank you, this looks interesting. Also, a guy named Kent has a book on this called: Psychedelic Information Theory. There is a web print of the book floating around.

Interesting, I see geometric patterns when I rub my eyes real hard, always wondered what caused it.

I think there is a wiki article explaining this by pressure and heat both activating cells on the retina.
