This Stroboscopic Lamp Induces Dream-Like Visionary Experiences

[cinda30]

This is the Lucia N3, a hypnogogic light machine designed designed in Austria by clinical psychologist Dr. Engelbert Winkler and neurologist Dr. Dirk Proeckland. The purpose of the device is to stimulate temporary EEG brain wave patterns that would usually only appear after several years of meditation practice. For the first time even novice meditators experience a state of deep relaxation coupled with focus, where one is in touch with their own intuition and sense of wholeness.

Testimonials from those that have sat before the light describe moments of deep relaxation paired with focus, synchronization of the intuition, and a powerful sense of wholeness. Individuals have also reported experiencing closed eye visuals similar to that of psychedelic stimulation and even what feels like a harmless, altered state of consciousness comparable to that induced by the hallucinogenic agent DMT.

"The hypnogogic light experience allows an immersion into your inner consciousness, a place of unimaginable peace and beauty."

The flicker effect was identified by the famously independent-minded scientist W Grey Walter in his best- selling 1953 book The Living Brain.

Grey Walter – who was soon to become the father of Artificial Intelligence – discovered that by using high-powered stroboscopes and experimenting with trigger feedback techniques where the flash was set to fire in synchronization with the brain’s rhythms, the brain is, “transformed temporarily to a different sort of brain.” Walter found that time itself could become lost or disturbed. As he observed of one subject:

“[He had] the sense of having been pushed sideways in time by flicker. Yesterday was no longer behind, and tomorrow was no longer ahead..”

Stroboscopic light, or light flashing on the eye between 8 and 13 flashes per second, induces alpha wave activity in the brain – a state normally associated with dreaming and creativity. Subjects often report seeing shapes and colours, some have full-blown hallucinations, others mystical experiences. Approximately one in 4,000 people will have an epileptic seizure.

In 1997, ten million Japanese schoolchildren, and some adults, tuned into the animé cartoon Pokemon to see a “flashing explosion with high frequency red and blue flicker stimulation” hit the screen and persist. What happened next sparked international headlines. Some viewers went into a trance-like state, as if hypnotized. Others experienced altered vision and shortness of breath. Some passed out, others had seizures. Hospitals all over Japan received admissions, though nobody was permanently damaged.

William Burroughs and Brion Gysin invented the "Dream Machine" over 50 years ago-Got a "William Lee Dream Machine" flicker app on my Android...
