The '''~~subjective~~ ''~~effect index~~''''' is a collection of articles designed to serve as a comprehensive ~~catalog and~~ reference for the ~~variety~~ of subjective effects that occur ~~through~~ the ~~use~~ of [[Psychoactive substance index|psychoactive substances]] ~~and~~ other [[~~psychonautic~~]] ~~techniques (~~such as [[meditation]], [[sensory deprivation]], and [[lucid dreaming]]).

The '''Subjective ''Effect Index''''' ('''SEI''') is a collection of wiki articles designed to serve as a comprehensive reference work for the diverse range of subjective effects that may occur during an altered or non-ordinary state of consciousness. While primarily written to describe the effects of [[Psychoactive substance index|psychoactive substances]], particularly [[hallucinogens]], it may also be extended to other areas of [[psychonautics]] such as [[meditation]], [[sensory deprivation]], and [[lucid dreaming]].

~~The effects listed here~~ are ~~accompanied by~~ phenomenological ~~descriptions (i~~.~~e. how it feels to experience them) that have been written in~~ a formalized writing style ~~which~~ seeks to avoid ~~the use of~~ flowery metaphors or analogies, ~~opting~~ instead to use language that is as simple and accessible as possible. This decision has been made in the hope that these descriptions will eventually come to serve as a universal terminology set that enables people to better communicate and share experiences that are, by nature, private and difficult to convey.

''SEI'' entries are composed of four parts: 1) a systematic effect name 2) a phenomenological description and analysis of the effect 3) any other relevant information and 4) external references. ''SEI'' articles implement a formalized writing style that seeks to avoid reliance on flowery metaphors or analogies, preferring instead to use ordinary language.

~~The subjective effect index is separated into over 200 entries which are organized into categories based on which sense they affect and their behavior. Many of~~ these ~~are further broken down into leveling systems, sub-components,~~ and ~~style variations~~ that ~~can occur across different substances and situations. Detailed [[Replication index|replications]] in the form of image and video examples have been included wherever possible~~ to ~~supplement the text descriptions~~.

This editorial decision has been adopted in the hope that these definitions will eventually come to serve as a universal terminology set that enables individuals to better analyze and share meaningful experiences that are ineffable or otherwise extremely difficult to communicate.

The contents of this index ~~is based on~~ the collective experiences of ~~our~~ [[Special:TopUsers|contributors]].

The ''SEI'' currently contains over 200 entries that are organized into categories based on which sense they affect and their overall behavior. Many of these effects are further broken down into leveling systems, sub-components, and style variations that are reported to occur across different substances, doses, and situations. Detailed [[Replication index|replications]], in the form of image and video examples, have been included wherever possible to supplement the text descriptions.

The contents of this index are principally derived from the collective experiences and analyses of [[Special:TopUsers|our contributors]], various anecdotal reports collected from the internet, and (whenever possible) the published scientific literature. A curated archive of some of these reports can be found in our [[experience index]].
