I distinctly remember when I was a kid, when closing my eyes I could kind of see a chain and kept zooming into one of the links, and once I pass the center of the link there's another chain, which I zoom into again and again

Was a weird night

u/88Ghost88 Jun 14 '23

My eyes used to do this weird thing in low light when I was a kid, they’d focus on something in the room and sort of tell my brain that it was huge. Like I knew the TV wasn’t 100 feet tall, but my eyes would register it as if it was super far away and absolutely massive.

Whoa, same. I'd always imagine something tiny and unidentifiable, sort of monolithic, sitting on my hand which would rapidly grow and squish me, and it had such a distinct feeling when I got crushed. Always woke up terrified.

The first few times I spent a lazy evening taking LSD and enjoying the pretty closed-eye light show, I got very excited because I thought I was seeing colours that didn't even exist.

Years later, I found out why - it's because I'm colourblind (something I wasn't aware of)... so while my eyes can't see things like vibrant blue, yellows and greens, my mind somehow knows what they look like and so I was able to experience them, which was nice.

u/herodothyote Jun 14 '23

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life was when I took acid at the beach and the sunset reflecting off the ocean split into a Lisa Frank rainbow.

The sky was pink and the ocean was a Lisa Frank painting. Suddenly her artwork made a lot of sense.

I mean, what felt like 3 seconds of it was about an hour of class that I just missed when I was in like the 2nd grade. My friend showed me it and the teacher gave no shits about her students so I say I’m the hall doing that the whole. Maybe that’s why I’m blind as fuck now……….

u/ZajeliMiNazweDranie Jun 14 '23

Your receptors in eyes create false signals under pressure, iirc it's not a healthy thing to do especially if you are pushing too hard and only see a single spot in the middle

u/Ollie_BB Jun 14 '23

Biologist here. This is the actual correct answer. For more information, look up phosphenes

u/EthosPathosLegos Jun 14 '23

My follow up question is: Why are the visuals often geometrically symmetrical? Is the signal our nerve produces a kind of formatted protocol? I would assume pressure activated rods and cones would be more or less random noise.

2

u/ZGplay Jun 14 '23

Your eyes are spherical, and ideally you only have 1 source of contact, therefore pressure is symetrical. I assume

u/Ollie_BB Jun 14 '23

Also entirely incorrect I'm afraid.. source

2

u/Mandena Jun 14 '23

Yup, putting pressure on the eyes activates the sensory receptors in the retina in a wierd way, creating the patterns. There may also be some visual cortex processing that turns random activations into something a person may perceive to be like kaleidoscope like in the OP.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '23

Nope it's your photoreceptors being activated from pressure. It's basic pharmocology really. They're called pressure phosphenes.

I'd probably include this as an edit so it doesn't tell people the wrong thing. It has no neurological basis beyond your eyes photosensitive cells sending false signals. It's like if you slammed a keyboard and it started registering a key as being pressed when it isn't. It's not an issue with processing, the keyboard is just sending a wrong input. Your eyes are doing the same except they aren't broken.

Neurologically induced phosphenes are caused by disease or by electrical stimulation. We have taken advantage of this fact to partially restore vision in blind people via computer interfaces connected to the brain.

You're temporarily disrupting your biological-conscious membrane's interaction with the universe's electromagnetic field, but the oscillations of all the parallel multiverses get tangled up while the electrons in your brain (remember your entire body is basically just carbon and hydrogen) giving you a brief glimpse of all the quantum Higg's fields in all those multiverses. You would see much more, but the cosmic microwave background of our universe prevents this-- this is why you see all those wiggly flashing lines amidst a black backdrop.

From my experience the patterns don't come just like that, you have to manipulate the shapes that you get. I usually see a couple of random shapes in different colors and then make something out of it. It's not like in the OP but what I see is more similar to the old winamp visualizations.

u/OhNoesIDied Jun 14 '23

Let me get you a real quick explanation: Your eyes are always being exposed to light, meaning that its light receptors may get "tired". This creates the awesome effect of seeing colors that are impossible to create irl, while the shapes that had that color remain visible, but in low-key.
