用大模型和主题模型分析闭眼闪光诱发的幻觉报告,发现复杂意识状态与几何幻觉并存。

Mapping of Subjective Accounts into Interpreted Clusters (MOSAIC): Topic Modelling and LLM applied to Stroboscopic Phenomenology

  • 结合大模型与主题建模,从开放文本中挖掘主观体验的潜在模式
  • 在862条报告中识别出典型几何幻觉及复杂意识状态变化
  • 为研究意识体验提供可复现的数据驱动方法,适合心理学与神经科学领域

闭眼闪烁光刺激(SLS)通常引发生动、几何且色彩丰富的视觉幻觉(VHs)。本研究基于名为Dreamachine的沉浸式多感官项目(Collective Act, 2022),收集了422份开放报告中的862条句子。尽管这些报告拓展了可报告的主观现象范围,但系统性分析存在挑战。为此,我们采用基于大语言模型(LLM)与主题建模的数据驱动方法,直接从文本中揭示并解释潜在的体验主题。分析确认了科学文献中常见的简单视觉幻觉,还发现了意识状态改变及复杂幻觉。该计算方法拓展了对主观经验的系统研究,使开放报告中难以通过标准问卷捕捉的经验得以呈现。研究揭示了体验的丰富性和多维性,推动了计算(神经)现象学的发展,并为跨领域的主观体验分析提供了实用方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Stroboscopic light stimulation (SLS) on closed eyes typically induces simple visual hallucinations (VHs), characterised by vivid, geometric and colourful patterns. A dataset of 862 sentences, extracted from 422 open subjective reports, was recently compiled as part of the Dreamachine programme (Collective Act, 2022), an immersive multisensory experience that combines SLS and spatial sound in a collective setting. Although open reports extend the range of reportable phenomenology, their analysis presents significant challenges, particularly in systematically identifying patterns. To address this challenge, we implemented a data-driven approach leveraging Large Language Models and Topic Modelling to uncover and interpret latent experiential topics directly from the Dreamachine's text-based reports. Our analysis confirmed the presence of simple VHs typically documented in scientific studies of SLS, while also revealing experiences of altered states of consciousness and complex hallucinations. Building on these findings, our computational approach expands the systematic study of subjective experience by enabling data-driven analyses of open-ended phenomenological reports, capturing experiences not readily identified through standard questionnaires. By revealing rich and multifaceted aspects of experiences, our study broadens our understanding of stroboscopically-induced phenomena while highlighting the potential of Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models in the emerging field of computational (neuro)phenomenology. More generally, this approach provides a practically applicable methodology for uncovering subtle hidden patterns of subjective experience across diverse research domains.
