Abstract:
This may be a little anal retentive but the way I was taught in my upperlevel bio and chem courses was that the abstract should have 1-2 sentances about the question, hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusions. Maybe its different here but that's what I think an abstract should be.
To the ordinary perception manifestations…
I would replace the word perception. Maybe use, "ordinarily…"

Footnote for these so people get an idea of what we are dealing with?
Other than that, everything else looks good. It reads well and seems intersting. Good luck!
