However, with the lights, I don't know as much about how they work. My thought is that the lights are simpler than sound. That photic stimulation is simply the same frequency in each eye which causes FFR and synchronisation without the little calculation in the Reticular Activating System.
Remember too that you need the differences in audio frequencies for the brain to artificially create the 40Hz or other frequency that is 'outside' of your normal hearing range. That's why it's a binaural beat, and not direct frequency. Drumming and such can create similar beats.
The visual frequency range is not constrained the same way, so just flashing the appropriate frequencies goes straight in, unedited.
As Marisa and Craig note. Spend time becoming aware of your own body and mind as meditators would.
Happy New Year to you and all.
