In this video, a researcher does an experiment to determine how a low dose of the anesthetic ketamine produces hallucinations in a subject while it is affecting brain activity. As you watch the video, you will see that it is possible that the drug may weaken or modify communication between nerve cells in the brain, which results in hallucinations and mood enhancement. The video includes the work of researcher Franz Vollenweider.
