Headphones and light glasses partly remove users from ordinary sensory reality and place them into a constructed internal reality. Modern devices can combine sound, light, vibration, and timing algorithms into an internal synthetic environment. The brain cannot fully attend to both the external world and the synthetic sensory world at the same time. Photosensitivity is a caution for light stimulation, and some people may choose earbuds only when visual stimulation may be inappropriate.
