My intuition is that exposing someone to a flashing light and then asking them to do a timed "where's Waldo" style exercise would actually harm their performance compared to doing it without any light at all. Obviously I could be totally wrong, but to a layman like me it seems like an odd thing to take for granted.

I am not a neuroscientist but the experiment and the headlines don't seem to line up to me

The control group had to do the visual task after the strobelight went off at random intervals. It seems like the study is making claims about how strobing visual tasks in synchronization with peaks/troughs of brainwaves improves performance... but the study didn't measure anyone's performance without the strobing to compare against?

Yes

>The right is conferred to the People, not the States. Nowhere else in the constitution would the phrase the People refer to States. Could you please explain how you arrive at the conclusion that it is about states rights?

The first amendment's Freedom of Speech clause is also about the rights of the people, and it's similarly been incorporated against the states for like a hundred years.

Just like almost all of the rest of the Bill of Rights, the courts have determined that if the constitution protects individual from having a right infringed on by the federal government, it also protects indiviuals from having that right violated by they state they're in.
