I get these. Some other posters may remember the first time I had one, and I came onto irc in a panic because I thought I had gone blind.

None of those videos really capture it, btw. There's no zig-zagginess like there is irl.

I am reminded of this shirt, but the black alternates with yellow, pulsing and shimmering

That's not it either. It's like the static background effect in the third video, except it is not static

Here's a video of a reporter having trouble talking. Sometimes the migraines have that symptom, which was the case here.
