  • Philosophers of consciousness love toying with what it is like to be a bat. People are fascinated by the possibility of minds so unlike their own. But there's a deep mystery far closer to home. Research is pricing open the shutters. As people learn more about how drugs can alter their consciousness, they are learning more about how their brain states relate to subjective experiences. And that's giving tantalizing glimpses into their infancy. here, Ananthaswamy examines how studies of psychoactive stimulants and consciousness can shine a light on how humans viewed the world as an infant.
