Program — or method — to make the screen flash [closed]

I am using a Windows 10 PC and I am trying find a program or some settings (a method) to turn the screen on and off rapidly. I am down for using a macro if need be.

Either flash it on and off or display a black screen rapidly (like over 90 times/min) as I am trying to learn a photographic memory technique.

I would do this with PowerPoint. Setup took me approximately 2 minutes.

  1. Create a 2 slide presentation, one with the image, and another that is all black.

Two Frame Presentation

  1. Set each frame to automatically transition after x seconds. 90 times per minute would be 0.66 second transitions. Transitions tab > Timing section:

Setting Transition Speed

  1. Set the slideshow to continuously loop until you press Esc.

Set Slideshow to Loop

Done!


If you don't have access to PowerPoint, you can do a similar thing with Google Slides, however you are limited to transition speeds of 1 second.

From the presentation controls while presenting:
