synopsis

Psychedelic Sandoz at its best. The Perception and Imaginative Experience documentary analyzes the complex subject of perception from the neurophysiological and psychological standpoint. The film captures a series of perceptual experiments that use psychedelic tools (e. g., sensory deprivation, exposure to the flicker effect, etc.). The hallucinations experienced by the experimental subjects are shown in psychedelic film sequences.
