     @Forestofenchantment @RustyCrab Basically your eye is ALWAYS dancing back and forth when you look at stuff. It has to do that because if you didn't, your cone cells would acclimate to the level of light and stop sending an image-- they detect CHANGES in brightness, not the absolute light level. What this means is that in order to keep your cells from going blank (called fatigue) it has to sweep back and forth in tiny jerky movements. Your brain compensates for this by shifting the image exactly the right amount so you don't notice it jerking back and forth.
     
     The thing is, that spot is created by this fatigue. It's not attached to the real world, it's attached to a particular patch of cells-- but your brain doesn't know that. It thinks of it as just another part of the image, so it compensates and shifts it as well, even though it shouldn't. The result is it appears to bounce back and forth in space.
     
     I'm back down to normal levels of manic lol.

     @Forestofenchantment @RustyCrab I can explain why this is happening but I don't think you actually want to know

     @RustyCrab The dot keeps disappearing and reappearing with second pink dot that dances with the green dot before both disappear. Process then repeats a few seconds later :niggahypno:

     @RustyCrab if you stare at some pattern for a prolonged period of time (20-30 minutes) you will see a ghost image of it for a few days or even weeks. I thought this was academical until I burned the bayer dithering pattern into my retinas programming graphics in templeos. Then I did it two more times.

     @Inginsub @RustyCrab Yeah I get weird visual effects like that all the time. This doesn't sound like exactly the same thing, like it's happening in a higher level system than that, but if I spend a lot of time pulling a specific kind of weed from my yard, I'll see its leaves whenever I close my eyes, like my brain is an AI model that just got trained on images of poison ivy or wisteria etc. Also when I used to play sprite video games as a kid, I'd close my eyes and see just random new characters with characteristics of what I was looking at. Only happened with sprite-based, pixel type graphics not like pre-rendered stuff for some reason. Also if I've been looking at curved stuff a lot, lines I know for a fact are straight start to look bent.

     @Inginsub @RustyCrab It sounds like some kind of visual/neural thing though, not something on your retinas because the retinas don't really focus on a single point that long, not long enough for large patterns that cover the whole visual field to get impressed on them

     @Inginsub @RustyCrab do you notice the imprint more as a compelte image, or just in your periphery?

     @cajax @RustyCrab it happens specifically with patterns that have some regularity. I saw it right in the middle of the field of vision
