Totally anecdotal, self report is bad, yada yada, but.... There are rare times when I feel my brain “opening”. Like maybe once or twice a year, I’ll be listening to an album, watching a movie, reading a book or a paper, and... I can’t really explain it except that it feels like my brain is absorbing everything. Not even that I am getting a photographic memory, but it just feels like the event is making an impression on every part of my brain. Like what’s happening in that moment is just becoming a part of me.
