Wow. I feel like a cliche, but after reading the link I realize that I have the same, and had just assumed that it was something that everyone else also experienced and so never questioned it.
For some reason I’m better at getting triangles to form.
I’m also the same as you- no migraines or anything that’d I’d consider a negative symptom.
The other optical-related illusion that someones happens with me is that if I’m focusing on something, occasionally everything else may ‘dim’ and that object will ‘feel’ subjectively closer/zoomed in, but a couple blinks and everything goes back to normal.
Edit:
I’ll also add that I consider myself to have a terrible visual imagination. If I try and imagine a face (even my parents) I basically don’t get anything. If I concentrate very hard I can imagine something basic - like the wireframe of a cube - but requires a lot of effort to maintain.
- somebodynew 5y agoI experience the same thing, although I cannot even visualize a fleeting triangle unless I am at the edge of falling asleep. I would describe the focus effect as similar to looking through a pair of binoculars, making the target occupy the entire field of view with an exaggerated sense of depth. I associate it with flow and consciously noticing the effect usually interrupts my focus enough to make it dissipate. I've never found a name for this phenomenon.
