Hmm, no wikipedia page for "ganzflicker", and 90% of the google hits are dubious websites. However, I will be trying this tonight because I loves me a good hallucination and if it can be done by sitting in a dark room staring at a flickering screen for 10 minutes, it sure beats acid.

If you click through to the experiment, they say that it's actually called '"Ganzfeld imagery" (Allefeld et al., 2011; Sumich et al., 2018)'.

Searching for that led me to this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganzfeld_effect

Follow up: no hallucinations but I was nauseous for an hour afterwards.
