Historia
In 'Altered States,' a Harvard University researcher named Eddie Jessup explores the boundaries of consciousness using sensory deprivation and hallucinogenic mixtures derived from Native American shamanic rituals. He enters an isolation tank for experimentation, initially experiencing vivid and surreal visions that he believes are genetic memories. As his experiments progress, Eddie's experiences become increasingly intense and dangerous, leading to physical transformations and psychological disturbances.
