  Complete fail on my part. No hallucinations or visions of any kind. I just saw a simple flash that appeared greenish (I would have thought it would rather be in the reds...?) The music is repetitive and rather upsetting; the tone of the speakers annoying. I read (most of) the article but I'm still not sure what it's supposed to do. Didn't seem to do anything to me.
