This is why laser damage your retina can be so insidious. Your visual system already can hide "holes" in your vision, what's one more to hide? So you damage a small spot of your retina and your visual system covers it up.

That's a good question. It's still an open issue as to if this is just a crazy case of parallel evolution or just convergent evolution for a similar result, but I'm betting there's some CRISPR biohacker looking into how to grow octopus eyes that can be transplanted into humans

You mean the aliens! One neat way to use some of this to your advantage, as I'd not seen you cover it yet: If you are trying to see something in the dark, don't look directly at it. While those rods are bad for color, they're great for dark vision. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/vision/rodcone.html …

oh yeah, I remember seeing that effect as a kid looking at the stars. there were some fainter objects you could only see by looking indirectly at them.

Wauw. Just wauw. Thank you. Do you have similar explanation in an article with a link, so I can share it with people who are not on Twitter?
-
No, but threadreader can (and has) "unroll" a twitter thread into a pseudo-blog post, so maybe share that version?https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1014267515696922624.html …

Awesomely interesting! Do you think this saccadic phenomenon could have any connection with the feeling of deja vu? Basically the brain confusing a lag in perception with experience?
-
yeah! someone else commented on that, apparently that's one of the theories to explain deja vu. like, your visual system is messing up and making you think you've seen an image before, when it's actually the first time.

Does this all have anything to do with me seeing things like in a video game when I get moderately drunk? Noticed that when I look at my hands do things while drunk, it really does look like I'm playing a video game IRL, difficult to explain exactly
-
It seems to be related, yeah. a few other people have mentioned that this sort of processing gets less effective when they're drunk.
