Visual effects - Dissociatives: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

This article attempts to break down the visual effects contained within the dissociative experience into simple, easy to understand titles, descriptions and levelling systems. This will be done without depending on metaphors, analogy's or personal trip reports. The article starts off with descriptions of the simpler effects and works its way up towards more complex experiences as it progresses, using image examples wherever possible...

==Suppression==

An overall suppression of vision is consistently reported during experiences with certain categories of hallucinogen including both [[deliriants]] and [[dissociatives]]. It can be generally defined as an overall decrease in the level of clarity and detail regarding visual input sourced from the external environment. It is manifested through 3 separate subcomponents.

===Decreased visual acuity===

Decreased visual acuity can be described as the experience of ones sense of vision becoming partially to completely blurred and indistinct. Depending on the intensity, this can often result in a loss of the ability to function and perform basic tasks which necessitate the use of sight.

===Double vision===

Double vision can be the described as the experience of doubled vision identical to that which occurs when one crosses their eyes. Depending on the intensity, this can often result in a loss of the ability to function and perform basic tasks which necessitate the use of sight but can be solved by simply closing one eye. This suggests that the double vision is occurring because the brain is simply overlaying the images received from both eyes on top each other without rendering the information into a singular 3-Dimensional image as it normally does in day to day life.

===Suppression of pattern recognition===

Suppression of pattern recognition can be defined as the experience of a partial to all encompassing inability to process currently perceivable visual information regardless of the clarity, detail and acuteness of its visual acuity. For example, although one may be able to see what is in front of them perfectly clearly they will not be able to register or label what is in front of them rendering even the most common of everyday objects become partially completely unrecognisable.
