Icon4 Car losing power briefly while driving

Hi everyone

My manual 2001 Prelude does this thing where it seems to lose power for a second while I'm driving--at first I noticed it with the radio shutting off and coming back on. Now I noticed that the gauges all shut off and restart. It happened once in awhile before and now suddenly it happens a lot more frequently, but I haven't noticed an issue with the engine or at least it is so quick that it's hard to notice.
This morning when it did it, the lights flashed too and ABS stayed on. When I went to drive it again the light was off.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
I've attached a video of the gauges when it happens, hopefully the attachment works.

Ignition switch. I believe there was a technical bulletin on them from honda.
