Somewhat related you may want to check out the works of Manvir Singh [1]. He is an anthropologist who has done extensive work in Shamanism, even authored a book.

A necessary condition to be a shaman is to enter altered sensory state and Shamanism is prevalent among indigenous peoples across the world.

Michael Harner's earlier work was in the same vein. He even released a record back in the 70's with drum beats that fit the typical shamanic rates he saw in use.
