Turn Off, Tune In, Drop Out
New brain imaging studies done under the influence of psilocybin (magic mushrooms) show circulation changes in brain regions that control and coordinate the brain as a whole:

Before and after the volunteers tripped out — one described the experience as “dissolving,” another as “kneeling at the foot of God” — their brains were scanned. These measurements revealed decreases in the amount of blood flowing through parts of the volunteers’ brains. Surprised by the result, the researchers repeated the experiment with another group, using a different scanning technique. The same pattern of reduced activity emerged, most pronounced in the hubs that connect different parts of the brain — including the thalamus and parts of the cingulate cortex.

Essentially, if you turn off the control mechanisms, could this unlock the “expanded consciousness” and “beyond self” that hallucinogens provide? This is the most detailed research done into their effects yet.
