The Art of Entrainment: Unlocking Altered States

This session delves into the potential of virtual reality as a tool for brainwave entrainment, offering an alternative to traditional photonic stimulation methods. We'll explore Flicker Light Stimulation (FLS) and the Frequency Following Response (FFR), where rhythmic visual patterns influence brain activity, traditionally achieved with specialized lamps and goggles.

With many already owning VR headsets, these devices can be repurposed for immersive entrainment experiences using stereoscopic open-eye imagery and controlled flicker frequencies. While VR offers accessibility, depth, and interactive potential, it also comes with constraints—fixed frame rates, pixel visibility, and the necessity of continuous visual focus. Discover how VR can be leveraged for meditation, cognitive enhancement, and altered states of consciousness, bridging ancient techniques with digital innovation.
