- Authors
Patricia A. Helvenston; Paul G. Bahn; John L. Bradshaw
- Abstract
In October of 2002, Patricia A. Helvenston and Paul G. Bahn published a paper entitled Desperately Seeking Trance Plants: Testing the Three Stages of Trance Model. That paper presented a critique of the Three Stages of Trance model as proposed by J.D. Lewis-Williams and T.A. Dowson in 1988 to account for mental imagery as perceived by people in certain altered states of consciousness that they believed inspired Palaeolithic cave art. Helvenston & Bahn chose to publish their paper privately, but supplied the following summary of their argument. It is accompanied here by comments from a neuropsychologist (John L. Bradshaw) and a rock-art specialist (Christopher Chippindale).
