Collector's note: «A seemingly self-produced collection of essays: ringbound sheets produced by a Los Angeles couple's desktop publishing program in 1990. Scarce: there is no indication of how many of these were done, but it is doubtful it had any widespread distribution, rather it seems more akin to the "print-on-demand" phenomenon that has become commonplace now, nearly two decades later. Signed by author.»

Non-print creative works

Multimedia performances

• During late 1966 and early 1967, Leary toured college campuses presenting a multi-media performance called "The Death of the Mind," which attempted to artistically replicate the LSD experience.
• In the early 1990s, Leary created several films in a form of hypnosis-tape he referred to as "Retinal Logic". These included Think for Yourself, How to Operate your Brain, and How to Operate your Brain Show (the final being a Public Access Television version of its namesake). Each video is presented as a lecture and demo of technological delivery method for hypnopædic learning. The videos include a barrage of colors, and early examples of Binural Entrainment

Computer games

• Relax is a stress reduction system with game elements programmed by Timothy Leary for the Commodore 64. The game includes an audio cassette and a headband with an EMG device that connects to a joystick port. There are three sequences: a psychedelic kaleidoscope, a graph showing the player's relaxation level, and a balloon popping mini-game that keeps track of the player's score. It was released by Synapse Software in 1984.
• Equal parts party game, roleplaying game and social simulation, Timothy Leary's Mind Mirror was released for Commodore 64, Atari XL, Apple II, and MS-DOS computers by Electronic Arts in 1985. The game was a digital reinterpreting of Leary's doctoral thesis. He later stated that he had plans to release an updated version of the program with advanced graphics (including Apple Macintosh and Amiga versions), but that never occurred. Timothy Leary's estate reported that the rights to the game were given back to their original programmers, who in-turn were attempting to update the program for a modern audience. This project evolved into "Mind Mirror 6"
