At its lower levels, this leads into states such as [[acuity suppression]], [[double vision]], [[pattern recognition suppression]] and [[frame rate suppression]]. The experience of this effect can also create a wide range of subjective changes to a person's perception of their own vision. These are described and documented in the list below: | ||

This results in a complete perceptual disconnection from one's sense of sight which can be described as the experience of being completely blinded and unable to tell whether the eyes are open or closed due to a total lack of sensory input. During this state, the effect often leads one into the experience of finding themselves floating through a dark and mostly empty hallucinatory void. | ||

'''Holes, spaces and voids''' can be described as a sub-component of visual disconnection which one experiences during all-encompassing states of its intensity. This experience is more commonly known within the literature as the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-hole k-hole]" and is generally discussed as something which is specifically associated with [[ketamine]] despite being present within all traditional [[dissociative]]s. It can be described as the place one finds themselves in once visual disconnection becomes powerful enough to leave the person incapable of receiving external sensory input. This replaces their visual awareness with a consistent and defined space which feels as if it is outside of normal reality. | |||

The visual appearance of this space, hole or void can be described as a vast, empty and darkened chamber which often feels and appears to be infinite in size. This space is usually obsidian black in its color, but occasionally displays itself with large patches of slow moving amorphous color clouds which remain strewn out across its horizon. | The visual appearance of this space, hole or void can be described as a vast, empty and darkened chamber which often feels and appears to be infinite in size.
