Novelty enhancement can be described as feelings of increased fascination, appreciation and awe attributed to specific parts or the entirety of one's external environment. This can result in the often overwhelming impression that everyday concepts such as nature, existence, common events, and even house hold objects are now considerably more profound, interesting, and important.

The experience of this effect commonly forces those who undergo it to acknowledge, consider and appreciate the things around them in a level of detail and intensity which remains largely unparalleled throughout every day sobriety. It is often generally described using phrases such as a "child-like sense of wonder" or "seeing the world through fresh eyes".

Novelty enhancement will often synergize with other coinciding effects such as personal bias suppression and emotionality enhancement in a manner which further increases the intensity of the experience. It is most commonly induced under the influence of psychedelic compounds such as LSD, psilocin, and DMT. However, it can also occur less consistently and in a milder form under the influence of cannabinoids, dissociatives, and entactogens.
