==== High Intensity ====

A bright light which flashes at the same speed as the transmission rate of the optical nerve can induce visual hallucinations similar to effects induced by psychedelic substances<ref>'''Altered states phenomena induced by visual flicker light stimulation'''. Marie Therese Bartossek, Johanna Kemmerer, Timo Torsten Schmidt. Published: July 1, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0253779</ref>.

=== Self Perception ===

[[File:Flip mirror.png|alt=Flip mirror|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. A flip mirror which shows you what you look like to other people.]]

An ordinary mirror will show you your reflection as you see it everyday. Double mirrors or "flip mirror" or "true mirror" shows you as others see you - a view you rarely get. As your face is is most likely not perfectly symmetrical it can feel as if someone else is staring back at you.

=== Out of Body Experiences ===

Psychedelics such as ketamine act dissociatively, causing [[Out of Body Experiences|out of body experiences]] (OBE). By using stereoscopic cameras and a virtual reality headset a phantom self experience can be felt (see '''Figure 2''')<ref>'''The experimental induction of out-of-body experiences.
