I can see the first one fairly clearly in my default state of consciousness, which I suppose confirms my theory that I have higher-than-average vision persistence. (I have never used psychedelics, and do not plan to) Tips to make it stand out more: HDR monitor at max brightness, increase playback speed to 2x Try not to follow the movement, but keep your eyes on a fixed location (e.g. a speck of dust on your screen)

Yeah I can too but I have done psychedelics in the past, despite not having any HPPD symptoms. I believe it is WE LOVE YOU with some aliens.

It seems like that’s one of the reasons the first piece won - because it’s quite accessible compared to the others.

Putting at 2x speed made it easy to read for me too, only the 3rd one was hard to read and I feel like that's because the lettering there is strange.

  I can see it without, I just noticed that 2x made it easier.

  Do you normally have the ability to see things at half-speed?

> I have higher-than-average vision persistence First time heard about this. Do you think that you have more "buffer space" for past visual input than average, or do the older and newer visual input "merge together" in the same "buffer space"? What I'm trying to get at is that does this come at cost of blurring vision or reaction speed, or do you have no problems related to those?

  The latter. This is the first time it's ever been remotely "useful", the rest of the time it's annoying.

Do you see all of your life with extreme motion blur? Can you see anything clearly while walking or driving?
