Often, whenever the alien artifact appears or someone is under its influence. Sometimes durung dreamscape sequences or flashbacks. The screen flashes rapidly between the image and it's negative. This would likely cause a seizure in photosensitive viewers.
In episode The Outbreak, right before the alien signal is played until the character is talking to another person in the dreamscape
