Singh proposes a cultural evolutionary theory of shamanic practices, including trance. We argue that cultural factors are deeply intertwined with biological aspects in shaping shamanic practices, and the underlying biology is critical. We discuss the neural underpinnings of rhythm-induced trance, how they can facilitate insight, and how altered states can promote healing.
辛格提出了一种萨满教实践(包括恍惚状态)的文化进化理论。我们认为,在塑造萨满教实践方面,文化因素与生物方面深深地交织在一起,而潜在的生物学则是至关重要的。我们讨论了节奏引起的恍惚的神经基础,它们如何促进顿悟,以及改变状态如何促进治疗。
