I have Aspergers and suffer from something called closed eye visions. When I close my eyes, mostly at night, I get flashes of images, like faces and people and places. The idea is that the brain is trying to make sense of the random light patterns I am seeing even when my eyes are close. And so it’s hyper predictive. Like others are saying, this is nothing new to me.
- guerrilla 5y agoSame here. I used to narrate them and make up stories about them to my girlfriend :) There's also a different TED talk than the one I already linked about your theory which gives a lot of interesting examples[1]. 1. https://youtu.be/SgOTaXhbqPQ https://youtu.be/SgOTaXhbqPQ
- somebodythere 5y agoI get these too, although I wouldn't describe it as suffering. Sometimes the images are detailed and tangible enough that it feels like looking at a printed photo through my eyelids. When the images are particularly interesting, I like to draw them.
- podgaj 5y agoSometimes mine are horrific though. Like a face in bandages with an eye hanging out. But sometimes they are interesting and nice, like tree tops of a forest.
