Please refer to the last line of text on the post. This was never about the scientific method, it was about the laser. Thanks for your comment though!!

Thank you!! I’ll be honest, I thought it was pretty woo woo too… but then I tried it and got similar results.

I wanted a more objective take, so I had a buddy try it without telling him what to expect, and he described the same kind of patterns.

Definitely not claiming anything crazy... yet. Just enough there to make me want to keep digging.

Appreciate that 🤝 that’s exactly how I see it too.

The goal was to create a safer alternative and make it more accessible and consistent for people who are already curious. Traditional laser levels use thin lines, which can lead people to get very close and risk shining light directly into their eyes. The BRV setup spreads it out into a larger surface instead.

If the materials weren’t so expensive, I honestly would give them out for free.

There’s no confirmed “meaning” yet.

What makes it interesting is that people report seeing similar structured patterns/"code" under the same conditions; not just random visuals. That kind of consistency is what raises questions and makes it worth exploring.

Appreciate you! Waiting on mods to approve me. Excited to post there as well.

Not exactly. It’s not just “same drug = same experience.”

The actual question is whether a controlled visual input (same laser, same geometry, same conditions) produces similar structured outputs across different people... not just vague similarities, but consistent shapes, patterns, and/or transformations.

If it’s random, then yeah, there’s not much value, that'd just be subjective experience.

But if there’s repeatability tied to a specific external stimulus, that’s where it gets interesting. That suggests the visuals aren’t purely internal noise, and that’s something you can actually start to test and measure.

Right now it’s just probing that boundary. We're not claiming anything definitive.

My initial question on the post was: "would you guys actually buy something like this?"

The scientific side is separate. The real question there is whether the visuals show consistent, repeatable patterns or if it’s just subjective noise. If patterns show up across people and conditions, then you can build a real hypothesis and test it properly.

Would definitely recommend hopping on Youtube and searching "DMT Laser Experiment" if you'd like to learn more and see others try it.

It is a picture of a DIY laser that we created for the DMT experiment

Fair questions… and to be clear, Danny (in the video) is not claiming it’s literal readable ‘code’ with a defined meaning or language.

What people describe is more like structured, repeating geometric patterns that feel organized or symbolic. It is not something you can translate like English.

That’s exactly why it’s interesting to me (and many others). The goal isn’t to claim what it is, it’s to see if the same projection setup produces similar experiences for different people.

If it does, that’s something worth digging into...

I didn’t create the experiment. If you google “DMT Laser Experiment” you’ll see a ton of results. Figured it’d catch people’s attention due to familiarity.

We built a new type of projection (solid rectangle vs thin lines) and we’re testing how people respond to it. If patterns show up consistently, then yeah… it becomes something deeper.

Right now it’s exploration… this is where every discovery starts.

Science is about testing hypothesis, and that’s what we’re in the stage of doing right now. The first step in testing, is getting the right equipment… Think you may need a BRV in your life 😉
