If someone were to ask me about it, I'd say a sense of vastness is the main characteristic
Consciousness-as-cathedral, not as-living-room.

While I don't really know, it feels like thoughts glue sensations together. You don't get the same sense of space while in beta frequency.

Not salient right now (too much coffee, too little sleep), but typically distant extreme of visual field and hearing feel far, far apart.

Close attention to the visual field does the same. Particularly in areas where I can see far. Looking at mountains or stars = very trippy.

Also tried with visual field where there are x depth perspectives? Tree partially behind chair, car, houses, clouds etc...?

Outdoors, sounds have a similar effect. Haven't been to any concerts recently, but I suspect that might also trigger it. Full cafés do, too.
