An interesting article here.
What is neat to me about all this is, Bear Stanley always said something similar: That brain filters keep us sane, but when we trip the filters shut down.

If anyone can find the actual scientific publishing that would be great
They linked the abstract in the article but the full version is behind a pay wall. Here is the abstract.
PM me for a link to the article.
Edit: Apparently nobody wants it, but one jerk thinks I should be downvoted for going through a paywall, downloading the PDF, then offering to send it to anyone for free. Thanks.
I don't think the filters are turned off per se, rather they are altered. True reality is unperceivable.
Reminds me of this - http://users.gojade.org/~bobk/page82.html
wow, interesting! i wonder if this explains why it feels like you can see lots of tiny detailed movements while tripping - because you're seeing a fresh snapshot at every moment?
Then what are we experiencing when our filters are off? REAL reality?
Across the span of 10 or 15 seconds the brain averages visual input with objects that are visually similar and very close to each other; that's basically what the researchers are saying. The author of the article has chosen to use the concepts of "delay,""lag," and "shields us from hallucinogenic experience." Just keep that in mind.
