It can be a very good practice (and a quick way to attain a trance state) to pay some attention to these attentional artefacts when they show up.

That's not something I've noticed explicitly, though vision sort of doing small weird things (going in and out of focus), for sure.
The first one I remember clearly is hearing a sort of very faint, octavated, hilariously squeaky version of my voice in my ear every time I spoke.
