I see the same noise, but I think it's along our nerves rather than the light it's self. High rest camera don't pick it up for example. There's a lot of filter

I see the same noise, but I think it's along our nerves rather than the light it's self. High rest camera don't pick it up for example. There's a lot of filtering happening in the visual cortex all the time. Your nose for example is visible but gets ignored. (I hate it when I remember this and suddenly notice it lol) There's also the blind spot in each eye which gets covered by what the other eye can see. If I close one eye now, I can alway see exactly where that blind spot is now. After I had an eye test where they flashed a light in my eyes, I perceived the blood vessels. Now I can sometimes perceive them if I look at a white TV screen and pay attention.

> Your nose for example is visible but gets ignored To me, it's anything that's covered in one eye, but visible by the other, that can get "ignored". It's just binocular vision at work. Similar to the blind spot thing you mentioned. I've seen my blood vessels too, but they didn't just flash a light in my eyes, they had me look into a machine that did a full retinal scan. Now that was fun, because it was 15 minutes of "wtf your eyelashes are too long they keep getting in the way. keep trying"

  > It's just binocular vision at work. Agreed, these are just binocular vision. But here's an interesting one. A relative had a pituitary tumor crushing her optic nerve, and went to a specialist who ran some tests as she was seeing Van Gogh style patterns everywhere. It turns out she had no color vision in the periphery, but she didn't know this. It was only when she couldn't correctly identify the color of some lights until they were right in front of her, and she got freaked out by it.

    That's really cool. It's similar to how I can only read what's in the exact center of my vision, but I don't really notice because I'm always looking at what I'm trying to read. When my eyes move, my brain still maintains the illusion that what I'm reading has not actually moved, I look where I am focusing, so the data is there when I need it. This is all really cool, honestly. I can read fine from my left eye, but if I try to read with my right eye, then both eyes will be superimposed, and sometimes I'll get confused when my brain is trying to parse two sentences at once and it forgets which eye it's reading with. My right eye is defective, lol. Even though it can see perfectly clearly and sharply, my brain just doesn't treat it properly. Everything that relies on having two eyes works fine, like depth perception, but anything that relies on only one eye, can only really be done with my left.
