'''Symmetrical texture repetition''' can be described as the perception of textures | '''Symmetrical texture repetition''' can be described as the perception of textures mirrored repeatedly over their own surface in an intricate and symmetrical fashion that is consistent across itself. This maintains the same level of detail no matter how closely one attempts to look at the distortion and tends to remain most prominent within one's peripheral vision. It usually manifests itself in rough textures such as grass, carpets, tree bark, and asphalt. | ||
During this state | During this state if one stares at a fixed point the symmetrical texture repetition may progressively increase and further tesselate into more complex forms. However, this progression of complexity will usually reset back to baseline as soon as one double takes. | ||
The experience of this effect is nearly universal under the influence of [[serotonergic psychedelic]]s such as [[LSD]], [[2C-B]] and [[psilocin]]. The symmetrical forms it induces are also often complemented by the simultaneous experience of [[pattern recognition enhancement]], resulting in the appearance of a huge array of abstract forms, imagery and patterns embedded within and across the symmetry. | The experience of this effect is nearly universal under the influence of [[serotonergic psychedelic]]s such as [[LSD]], [[2C-B]] and [[psilocin]].
