You know, if I hadn't had the momentary lapse of intelligence, I could have just gone back to Austin Homebrew's site and answered my own question. Thanks to those who took the time to reply.
To anyone else who may still have a question:
Pregelatinized rice flakes have been produced specifically for brewing. The process of gelatinizing makes the starches readily soluble and digestible by the naturally occurring enzymes in barley malt. This allows the flakes to be incorporated directly into the mash with other grains. Because flakes have a large surface area and are pre-cooked, they hydrate and disintegrate quickly. Filtration time will be normal. Pregelatinized rice flakes are made from medium-grain rice and produce a light, clean and crisp characteristic in the finished beer.
