When you sit beneath the Lucia N°03, eyes closed, the world begins to shimmer behind your eyelids. Shapes move like living geometry, colors pulse from nowhere, and something deep within you starts to reorganize.
You might describe it as beautiful… transcendent… or as though you’re drifting between waking and dreaming.
But what’s actually happening in your brain?
In a controlled experiment using the Lucia N°03, researchers recorded the brain’s electrical activity (EEG) while participants experienced different levels of flickering light intensity. Their goal was to explore what happens in the brain during light-induced altered states — and whether those changes could be quantified in neural terms.
The results are astonishing: the Lucia N°03 didn’t just change how people felt — it changed how their brains were wired, moment by moment.
When Light Meets Brainwaves
Researchers invited 23 healthy participants (ages 18–64) into a lab and recorded their resting-state EEG (eyes closed) to identify each person’s dominant alpha frequency — the rhythm naturally produced by the brain when it’s relaxed yet alert (typically 8–12 Hz).
Then, they exposed participants to two conditions:
-
Low stimulation (LS): a softer, dimmer flicker
-
High stimulation (HS): a brighter, more intense flicker — similar to what Lucia practitioners might use for a deeper journey
Afterward, participants filled out phenomenology scales describing their experiences — everything from bodily sensations to mystical unity — while EEG data revealed how their brain activity evolved across five key frequency bands.
What the Brain Revealed
🌀 Alpha Band (8–12 Hz): The Bridge Between Inner and Outer Worlds
People often try to reduce what the Lucia N°03's mechanism of action to simply “entraining” the brain toward alpha states — but the research reveals a more nuanced story.
During high-intensity flicker, alpha power actually decreased, especially in frontal and parietal regions. That may sound counterintuitive until you realize: alpha suppression often accompanies a release of ordinary sensory processing — a shift from external attention toward inner imagery and insight.
Meanwhile, functional connectivity in the alpha band increased, especially among participants who reported mystical-type experiences. In other words, while individual alpha oscillations quieted, communication between alpha networks became more efficient — reflecting integration, coherence, and unified awareness.
🌊 Theta and Delta Bands (4–8 Hz and 1–4 Hz): Deepening Into the Subconscious
The deeper frequencies — theta and delta — also became more active under the Lucia N°03’s high stimulation.
-
Theta increases were linked with states of absorption, imagination, and emotional release — often experienced as “dreamlike” or “timeless.”
-
Delta connectivity strengthened, particularly across frontal regions, suggesting enhanced integration between conscious and subconscious networks.
These slow rhythms are often associated with trance, healing, and deep meditation — aligning beautifully with what many Lucia users describe as “resting in the void” or “merging with light.”
⚡️ Beta Band (13–30 Hz): The Quieting of the Analytical Mind
In contrast, beta power decreased significantly during high-intensity light.
Since beta is linked to active thinking, planning, and sensory engagement, its reduction indicates a temporary suspension of the analytical mind — the very gateway to hypnagogic states and expanded creativity.
This explains why many participants report profound stillness or visual creativity — the thinking brain relaxes, allowing perception to reorganize.
🌈 Gamma Band (30–100 Hz): The Signature of Integration
The most exciting finding may be the increase in gamma connectivity — high-frequency coherence associated with insight, compassion, and states of unity in advanced meditators.
The study found that during the Lucia N°03 high-stimulation sessions, gamma-band synchronization increased, particularly between frontal and posterior brain regions.
This suggests that the flickering light facilitates a harmonization across the brain’s network, allowing multiple regions to fire together in rhythmic resonance — a possible neural signature of what many describe as “oneness,” “light merging,” or “transcendent clarity.”
Overall, when participants entered the higher-intensity Lucia N°03-style stimulation:
✨ Brainwave activity changed dramatically.
Alpha, theta, and beta rhythms decreased — showing the brain stepping out of ordinary processing — while gamma and delta bands increased, reflecting deeper integration and high-frequency coherence.
✨ Connectivity between brain regions strengthened.
In other words, different parts of the brain started to communicate more efficiently, especially in the gamma range (often associated with higher awareness and unified states of consciousness).
✨ The network became more “efficient.”
The study used graph-theory metrics (yes, they literally mapped the brain like a web) and found that under the light, participants’ brains showed more “small-world” connectivity — meaning faster communication and more harmonious integration between distant regions.
✨ People felt great.
The high-intensity sessions weren’t just powerful — they were rated as more pleasant, more profound, and more likely to bring feelings of peace and expansion.
To visualize these findings, researchers used graph theory — mapping the brain like a web of interconnected nodes.
Under Lucia N°03 high-stimulation conditions, they observed:
-
Increased clustering coefficients in the delta band (tighter local connections)
-
Shorter path lengths in the gamma band (faster communication between regions)
-
Higher “small-world” organization, a balance between local specialization and global integration — the hallmark of an efficient and harmonized brain network.
These network changes mirror the felt sense many Lucia travelers describe: more flow, less separation, and a state of coherence that feels both expansive and calm.
The Bridge Between Science and Spirit
In the Lucia N°03 community, we often talk about how the light helps people move from thinking only to embodied knowing, from separation into connection. This study beautifully reflects that transition in measurable form.
After the sessions, participants’ reports reflected four primary types of experience:
-
Detachment – feeling separated from the body or time
-
Bodily change – sensations of floating, vibration, or expansion
-
Mystical experience – a sense of unity, timelessness, or light
-
Hallucination – geometric imagery, colors, or landscapes
Remarkably, each experiential cluster corresponded to unique neural patterns — meaning the brain’s electrical state could predict the quality of the inner journey.
The “mystical” cluster correlated with higher alpha connectivity and more efficient network topology, while “detachment” showed lower synchrony — suggesting that transcendence and dissociation are distinct neural pathwayswithin light-induced consciousness.
So what many of us describe as “becoming one with the light” may literally mirror a harmonization of neural networks, the brain finding a more unified rhythm (or as we often refer to it as - coherence).
Neurophysiological Transformation
This study confirms what many of us intuitively feel: the Lucia N°03 doesn’t just calm the mind — it re-patterns it. It shows that the Lucia experience isn’t just imaginative or meditative — it’s neurophysiologically transformative.
By synchronizing light frequencies across multiple brainwave bands, Lucia N°03 light sessions help dissolve habitual neural loops and invites the brain into a more connected, efficient, and creative state.
It’s a scientific glimpse into why people emerge from Lucia sessions reporting clarity, emotional release, and a renewed sense of wholeness.
The light activates the entire orchestra of the brain — from deep delta to expansive gamma — helping consciousness reweave itself into coherence.
This helps explain why so many people report clarity, creative breakthroughs, emotional release, or spiritual experiences after just a few sessions.
An Invitation to Experience It Yourself
The Lucia N°03 is more than a flickering lamp.
It’s a bridge between ancient mystical states and modern neuroscience — a meeting point of light and awareness.
This research suggests that the luminous patterns we see under the light may actually mirror the brain’s own shifting architecture — a visual echo of consciousness reconfiguring itself.
Reading about it is one thing — feeling it is another.
The Lucia N°03 isn’t a technology you “use”; it’s a frequency you dance with (mind, body and spirit).
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, creative inspiration, or deeper spiritual connection, the light meets you exactly where you are and gently guides your nervous system toward coherence.
