A white light. Moving shapes. An experience that is yours alone.
Understand visions and precautions
Photostimulation involves being exposed to pulsed light with your eyes closed. Researchers study the colors, geometric shapes, and impressions of movement it can induce. Their appearance depends in particular on the frequency and rhythm of the pulses.

Models link certain shapes to the organization of the visual cortex, the part of the brain that processes vision. These visions are not an exact image of the neurons nor a measurement of their activity. The resemblances to nature are visual comparisons.

This known phenomenon does not mean that pulsed light is suitable for everyone. Consult the precautions and contraindications before a session.
