The Effects of White Lights on Vision
Is it known why flashing white lights would create such unique experiences in different people? Not entirely, and this is one of the things that we've been working on. I think intuitively for me, what's going on is that because you have your eyes closed, your brain is not expecting anything visual to be happening. And so now the brain is in a funny situation where it's saying, like, all this stuff is going on and I have to make sense of it but I don't know how to do it. But quite why there's any experience at all, that is still a big question and I don't yet have an answer for that.
