Nice to see a mid-90's page still up: http://mrob.com/pub/comp/xmorphia/



Thank you! Not 20 minutes ago I was trying to find papers on the topic.


Here is a paper using the Turing mechanism to explain the pattern of 10hz flicker-induced hallucination (which is a fascinating rabbit hole). https://www.pnas.org/content/104/20/8490/tab-figures-data


Excellent, thank you for sharing this! I'm curious: do you know of me such resources / how did you come across this (researcher?)?


Because I'm into Neurotech, psychedelics and history of science. Purkinje (famous neuroscientist) discovered the flicker-hallucinations effect back in the 1870s.
