<onlyinclude>'''Peripheral information misinterpretation''' is defined as a fleeting experience of an object or detail within one's peripheral vision being interpreted and displayed incorrectly. During this state, a person may briefly see elaborate details within their peripheral vision but that after a more direct analysis, turn out to be entirely fabricated. For example, a person may momentarily notice fleeting objects, people, or events within their peripheral vision that are not actually present. Once the detail or object is realized to be incorrect, the misinterpretation is overwritten with the correct perception. Usually, as soon as a person consciously notices the misinterpreted visual detail, it has resolved itself into the correct visual interpretation.  
'''Peripheral information misinterpretation''' can be described as a visual effect which enhances one's perception in a manner which creates predictions and assumptions as to what one is perceiving within their peripheral vision before receiving enough information to accurately reach a correct conclusion. When experiencing this effect, one may see objects within sections of their peripheral vision as things which turn out to be entirely different concepts upon a momentary and more direct analysis.
 
For example, one may see fleeting images always out of the corner of the eyes such as [[shadow people]] or objects that are not really there. This component is greatly enhanced by the simultaneous experience of [[pattern recognition enhancement]] and as time progresses, the hallucinations may appear in full view and one will be able to look directly at them. At this point the effect has become a fully fledged [[external hallucination]].
 
It's worth noting that this effect is extremely common without the use [[psychoactive substances]] through the simple experience of [[sleep deprivation]].


Peripheral information misinterpretation is often accompanied and enhanced by other coinciding effects such as [[pattern recognition enhancement]] and [[external hallucinations]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[deliriant]] compounds, such as [[DPH]], [[datura]], and [[benzydamine]]. However, it can also occur under the influence of [[stimulant psychosis]] and [[sleep deprivation]].
