University of Liverpool

Hosted by AFC Lab & CARLA Talk Series

· 70 minutes
Brownlow Hl, Liverpool, UK · Hybrid

Abstract

Rhythmic flashing light, or “Ganzflicker”, can elicit altered states of consciousness and hallucinations, bringing your mind’s eye out into the real world. What do you experience if you have a super mind’s eye, or none at all? In this talk, I will discuss how Ganzflicker has been used to simulate psychedelic experiences, how it can help us predict symptoms of psychosis, and even tap into the neural basis of hallucinations.
