It’s a shame you didn’t actually read the article. You might have contributed something useful.
For the others who ware intrigued but don’t want to read, the article is mostly about research into the mechanisms creating the hallucinations.
Neuroscientists have known since the 60s that you can make people hallucinate shapes and colours by exposing them to strobing lights. It seems that syncing the lights with some of the rhythms present in the brain changes what people experience but the mechanisms at play are still unclear.
Clearly these things are influencing how the brain process information but much remains to be studied.
