> I will first use an analogy from Aldous Huxley in his 1954 book "The Doors of Perception) (which incidentally is where Jim Morrison got the name for his band). Huxley believed that mescaline opened the brain's reducing valve (thalamus?) allowing the brain to perceive stimuli not ordinarily noticed when one's brain is focused or attending to something (eg background noise, the feel of your clothing, etc.).

a more impaired filter could be part of the cause many thought disorders. Not to mention finding DMT in these persons urine.j
