Key concepts include tables, which organize data into rows and columns; relationships, which define connections between tables; and SQL (Structured Query Language), used to interact with databases by querying and manipulating data.

Using psychedelics as the prime example, Thomas B. Roberts explores the many different kinds of mindapps, including meditation, other psychoactive plants and chemicals, sensory overload and deprivation, biofeedback and neurofeedback, hypnosis and suggestion, and more.
