There have been a couple of papers [1] that can induce this process while awake using particular image patterns as confirmed in an MRI. I think the NIH confirmation is running behind in the science, independent research is quite a bit ahead of them. I came across the paper on this last year and implemented a very simple page with the parameters they used [2]. There is a number of disease models that show reduced or n…

Paul's animation wasn't playing at an even rate for me, for some reason, so I created two video versions (8Hz and 12Hz) with the 16 second on/off period, starting with an off period, running for 254 seconds, as per the paper. These versions end with an an additional off period, as a 'cool down' from the flicker. Framerate of 24Hz differs from the 120Hz as presented in the paper, but here there is no 40Hz flicker atte…

Do you recall which position?

Wow! So a visual effect similar to some psychadelic hallucinations is associated with brain cleaning! Also, I've been at concerts where the light show guy seems to have reverse-engineered the filters our brains use to process raw signal into "images", and could use the lights to create just the raw primitives. A few hours of that and it was like I was learning to see all over again, a tune-up/calibration of my visual…
