These ideas generally involve (but are not limited to) insight into philosophy, science, spirituality, society, culture, universal progress, humanity, loved ones, the finite nature of our lives, history, the present moment, and future possibilities.

Analysis enhancement is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[stimulation]], [[personal bias suppression]], [[conceptual thinking]], and [[thought connectivity]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[stimulant]] and [[nootropic]] compounds, such as [[amphetamine]], [[methylphenidate]], [[nicotine]], and [[caffeine]].<ref name="Fillmore2005"/><ref name="Warburton2001"/> However, it can also occur in a more powerful although less consistent form under the influence of [[psychedelic|psychedelics]] such as certain [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], and [[mescaline]].<ref name="Bouso2015"/></onlyinclude>
