Stroboscopic flashing light with white noise can induce a mild altered state of consciousness (ASC), with some effects similar to sensory deprivation and moderate doses of psychedelic substances. However, effective clinical utilisation of this white noise flicker light (WNFL) requires understanding the underlying mechanisms. Here, neural correlates and predictors of WNFL experience are explored...

Flicker light stimulation shows promise for inducing visual imagery, altered states of consciousness, and changes in arousal, with potential applications in relaxation and imagery-based therapeutic interventions. However, optimal utility depends on identifying how viewing conditions shape subjective and physiological outcomes. We examined whether eye condition (open, closed) modulates...
