Immersion enhancement is an effect which can be described as a pronounced increase in one's ability to become fully engulfed in a concept, setting, task, or any other visual/auditory stimuli such as music, movies, and various other forms of media. This effect is very common in its manifestation with psychedelics and dissociatives and can increase to a level of intensity resulting in complete focus-based ego loss and complete submersion replacing the external enviroment and the entire field of vision with the stimulus present. This effect is also known as the psychological concept flow and has been widely researched and referenced across a variety of fields and cultures for thousands of years (notably in some eastern religions).[1]
