Ana Chkhaidze @chkhaidze.bsky.social · 10/05/2026happy to see this out in the wild! we analyzed (many) verbal reports, and found that people can “see” all kinds of things in Ganzflicker-induced hallucinations, from dots and lines to skylines, forests, and faces. But not everyone. Weak imagers mostly described flashes and movement 141

Ana Chkhaidze @chkhaidze.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Our new preprint explores what people with different visual imagery abilities 'see' during Ganzflicker-induced hallucinations. We used NLP + ML techniques to analyze descriptions from 4,000+ participants. See what we found in @kerblooee.bsky.social's thread 162
