Iboganautics

Unveiling the iboga experience for first-timers and shamans alike, Iboganautics is the podcast committed to discovering everything there is to know about "Tabernanthe iboga," or simply called iboga, a naturally occurring psychedelic plant from Gabon in western Central Africa. While other podcasters and content producers mainly focus on the addiction interruption properties of ibogaine, the main acting alkaloid in iboga, there is so much more to discuss, so much more one could and should know for a richer appreciation of the experience. For this reason, I invite members of the iboga community and other experts on the podcast to speak not just about addiction but about alternative topics pertaining to iboga-the-plant as well as the subjective experiences elicited by iboga. After several transformative personal experiences in addition to my own academic research, I speak with people that have something educational and interesting to say about this substance/experience, directly or indirectly related; for example, from scholars in neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and botany to experienced staff at retreat centers, artists, lay experts, and so on. While there’s much good information about iboga across multiple media, I believe there’s more to discover by conversing with said experts.

2.7_Tracers, Trails, and Stroboscopic Effects_Andrés Gómez Emilsson

January 04, 2021 • A.M.

Andrés Gómez Emilsson is Director of Research at, and co-founder of, the Qualia Research Institute where he works with algorithm design, psychedelic theory, neurotechnology, and mapping the computational properties of consciousness, to name several. He has a master’s degree in Computational Psychology; worked professionally with graph theory, statistics, and affective science; and blogs at QualiaComputing.com. Many psychedelics produce visual tracers. To find out more about these phenomena and how they relate to iboga, I invite Andrés on the podcast to discuss psychedelic-induced tracers, trails, and stroboscopic effects, and he speaks about his and colleagues’ relatively new computer program called Tracer Replication Tool. Topics of our discussion include: Qualia Research Institute; sober, psychedelic, and iboga tracers; micromorts; “psychedelic cryptography”; the Tracer Replication Tool and how you too can document your tracer experiences; iboga tracer phenomenology; (auto)stereograms; the time-like texture of consciousness related to tracers; and Andrés boldly posits that controlling a substance’s tracer effects might allow one to control the world-building process of that substance.
