It's not directly relevant, but the most interesting brain book I've read
in the last year was Dennett's "Consciousness Explained". I disagree with
a number of things that he says (mostly in the first couple of chapters),
but his model of brain function explains a lot of my weird experiences.

'Prometheus Rising', of course. Possibly 'Cosmic Trigger'. Both are by
Robert Anton Wilson, who has a somewhat sensationalist style but does
write from experience.

Yep, but not on any official basis AFAIK. There were a couple of mailing
lists on the subject but I don't know if they're still going. There's
little on the Web other than Lilly, Leary and Wilson texts.
