William S. Burroughs, expounding upon his thoughts in his book The Job, quotes from The Living Brain, by Gray Walter: "The rhythmic series of flashesappear to be breaking down some of the physiologic barriersbetween different regions of the brain"[12]. Burroughs points out that a consciousness-expanding experience can be induced by a flicker-that is, a rhythmic light flashing in the retina at the rate of 10 to 25 flashes per sec, which produces effects characteristic of consciousness-expanding drugs.
