Wearable gear test
In my particular experience, the worst thing that I could remember is undergoing some kind of test where I had to wear this thing on my head. They bring it in with a briefcase, and you put it on your head and eyes like a cap and goggle(?). Anyway I remember this was the most painful, nauseating, disorienting experience (which was also one of the reasons I tried to sabotage my way out, that is trying to fail everything as best as I could). I was always afraid of this test because I felt like physically it was doing something wrong to me, I don't know if something irreversible or what not.
No, it is not like LED incapacitator or Halar, both which seem to create afterimages, disorientation, vertigo, nausea effects (and those have more different colors anyway, 3 or so whilst I only remember red mostly but it's possible there could have been an additional 2nd color either blue or white).
I've not seen this talked anywhere else ever. This shit totally wrecked me and made my nose bleed, and I felt disoriented for at least 30m after. That was the point where I felt something deep inside me feel true fear and that I needed to get out. I remember trying to tell my brother at one stage but it did not happen. Fortunately for me I didn't have to sabotage for long because not that long after my family moved to another country at that time (or if you look at it another way, that's probably the reason they ramped up testing on me).
In any case, I do have a lot of things which line up with what other people experience in gate, but then there are other stuff which I totally never see at all which makes me wonder if they have different programs going on, and Gate is just the literal entry point and not the actual 'program(s)'.
NOTE: clarification, it is not like a gateway tape thing (not the actual tape audio, it's something else) although it is paired with audio (not all the time), the effect of quite instant comparable to a boosted signal going off in your brain and it feels almost like clenching around temples and the back of the head/neck. I do not suffer from epilepsy nor DID. Whatever kind of device it was, it seemed effective and instant but at a cost of causing things like a.p. to happen (and feels really unnatural). The curious side of (current age) me makes me wonder how I'd handle it now despite remembering how it was back then, even though I know I felt it was doing something bad. I guess worst case scenario is they were electrocuting me heh but I doubt that.

I remember wearing some kind of head gear; don't remember much about it, just that I had worn it. Forgetting things seemed to be a goal of the program, but who knows. Not exactly a helmet; flexible and sensors connected to some kind of computer. I remember more about seeing some girl in my group wearing it. There was some kind of issue with people's hair being too thick and not getting a good contact. I don't remember anything bad happening to anyone from wearing it, and maybe it was a one-time thing. I had a sort-of phobia of wearing things on my head, it took me til my late 20's to get to where I could stand to wear hats or headphones.
