	The Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory (PCI) is one of the most commonly used scales in our field. According to its author, <blockquote>The PCI has been used to quantify the subjective experience associated with a variety of stimulus conditions, including: hypnosis (Pekala, 1991, 2015, 2016), meditation (Venkatesh, Raju, Shivani, Tompkins, & Meti, 1997), fire-walking (Hillig & Holroyd, 1997/1998; Pekala & Ersek, 1992/1993), an out-of-the- body experience (OBE) within a near death event (NDE; Maitz & Pekala, 1991), shamanistic trances (Rock, Wilson, Johnston, & Levesque, 2008), charismatic leadership (Churches, 2015), religious/spiritual narratives (Wildman & McNamara, 2010), a virtual reality environment (Huang, Himle, & Alessi, 2000), drumming (Maurer, Kumar, Woodside, & Pekala, 1997), schizophrenia (Roussel & Bachelor, 2000/2001), epilepsy (Johanson, Valli, & Revonsuo, 2011), music perception (Nagy & Szabo, 2004), and psi phenomena (Rock & Storm, 2010).<ref>https://www.quantifyingconsciousness.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/PCI-Manual.2019.with-EXCEL-program.051919d.pdf</ref></blockquote>		The Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory (PCI) is one of the most commonly used scales in our field.<ref>Prugger, J., Derdiyok, E., Dinkelacker, J., Costines, C., & Schmidt, T.
