Synthesis:11 Dimensions Altered State of Consciousness Questionnaire

From EmergeWiki

As described in Corneille & Luke (2021),

The 11-Dimensional Altered States of Consciousness Rating Scale (11D-ASC; Studerus et al., 2010), is a 42-item scale, developed from the 94-item 5-Dimensional Altered States of Consciousness Rating Scale (5D-ASC) (Dittrich, 1998) to measure the intensity of ASCs.[1]

As such, it is essentially as shorter version of the 5D-ASC clustered into more dimensions.
