Very cool! Five minutes of this felt strangely soothing in my head, after a few nights of not enough sleep.

Being able to set a max duration would be neat, in case it's unsafe to lose track of time and let the pattern run for too long?

Classic outdated comment BTW ;)

  setInterval(flickerImage, 250); // 8hz

When I open the page, the image rotates for about ten seconds then vanishes. How do you watch it for five minutes? What did I do wrong?

As per the first line of the writeup on the page: It toggles between on and off every 16 seconds.

Exactly, the comment was carried over from V0.1 which set a 125 ms timer.
