Interesting, do you have a source for that? I'd love to read it. I'm interested because my experience with that differs strongly (though it's with shrooms, not LSD): while tripping on low doses I was a god* at guitar hero, significantly better than I was at playing sober, the same was true for another friend of mine as well.
Maybe the task being rhythm-related offsets the increased delay.
*sober I mastered Hard but had some trouble on the harder songs on expert, under the influence was the first time I managed to do several of them in expert.
- mhh__ 7y agoI don't have a source other than a ... friends experience (wink wink, "which means I am lying"). It's the only area of medicine I'd do research in, Psychedelics seem to have dramatically different effects while still having some constants - across different people. I could type 10 WPM faster than I usually could but my companion couldn't get above 15 WPM (He's usually bad not that bad). Once you get going it seems to be manageable, as if you have thought-momentum, i.e. Maybe it's a movement issue rather than literally reaction time directly. > Maybe the task being rhythm-related offsets the increased delay. I think that may have an effect. I can play actual guitar fairly well (I can still play pretty fast Yngwie stuff) under the influence but only once I've "warmed up" but then I'm effectively just reciting motion from memory rather than reacting to anything There are papers/research on this but they're all behind paywalls, which I can't be bothered to get around rn.
- lagadu 7y agoThe feeling of playing was very different; it felt like my hands were playing the controller by themselves without any real input or reactions on part of "me".
