The light emitted by the stroboscope (See '''Figure 1.'''), can be calibrated to flash at the same speed as the transmission rate of the optical nerve. This causes an temporary interference pattern which disorientates optical transmission to the brain leading to visual [[hallucinations]] similar to effects induced by [[Psychedelics|psychedelic]] substances.
