https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCollough_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCollough_effect is evidence to the contrary. This seems to rewire something outside the optical pathway. The effect can last for months. Works on almost all brains, no epilepsy required...
- haccount 2y agoThat sounds more like a learned visual effect, something quite different from frying the brain of anyone with a basilisk. Experiments with cats( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1111849/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1111849/ ), and the outcome of patients with strabismus/lazy eye(effective blindness on defective eye), suggests that seeing (or not seeing) is a learned trait. Which is a few steps removed from being a backdoor to epileptic seizures or remote controlling heart activity
- altruios 2y agoExert from that same wiki page about the anti-McCollough effect, I may have the two confused. Given that AMEs do transfer interocularly,[8] it is reasonable to suppose that they must occur in higher, binocular regions of the brain. Despite producing a less saturated illusory color, the induction of an AME may override a previously induced ME, providing additional weight to the argument that AMEs occur in the higher visual areas than MEs.[8]
