Have you read the Don Juan books by Carlos Castaneda? Based on your objective here, I would highly recommend reading them. He was a cultural anthropologist that trained as a shamanist under a yaqui indian named Don Juan. Much of his work has been highly controversial and most discredit it, but it makes for one hell of an entertaining read. I would be shocked if they didn't try Ayuhuasca during his apprenticeship.

I appreciate your approach to this and your hypothesis seems interesting and plausible. I'd like to find out if you are able to "study" the trip given that it seem so elusive to description. Keep us informed.
