I had a couple of brain scans over the years because of seizures. Had one in me 20s and one in me 40s. Both times, they were pleased to tell me I didn't have Epilepsy or a brain tumour. They did tell me (both times) I had unusual brain waves. Most people have Beta waves when awake. I had Gamma waves. I wasn't surprised I had unusual brainwaves. I'd always been odd to other people (not as weird as other people are to me though, I reckon) and I'm schizophrenic.
I didn't understand the significance of my Gamma waves or what it meant. I recently researched brain waves and found Alpha, Delta and Theta waves are altered states of dreams, meditation, etc. Gamma waves are some next level thing. An altered state usually achieved through enlightenment by Yogis, Shaman, etc. causing a different perception. It results in no interest in material gain, no ambition, etc. All these things are familiar to me, I never had interest in these things from childhood. I didn't even take school seriously. It weren't political, I weren't a hippy or a communist, I just had no interest. It was all an illusion to me.
Apparently, it also produces a lot of DMT in the brain. This is also not a surprise. Schizophrenics have also been found to have excess DMT in their urine. I've hallucinated since as far back as I can remember. First time I remember being aware I could see things others can't see, I was 6 years old. I always had visions, mad dreams, and experience 'dreams' while awake, as well as strange states of delirium. Of course, I use all this sensory input and visions for my writing.
Oh my. What would the doctor say about Dostoyevsky's and Balzac's infamous caffeine addictions? One shudders to think that one of the few sober works of modern literature is Ginsberg's Howl. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Wolfe was sober too.
