Peripheral information misinterpretation
Template:Proofread Peripheral information prediction 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. As time progresses, however, the hallucinations may appear in full view and one will be able to look directly at them. At this point the effect has become an external hallucination.
This effect is very common during sleep deprivation and can become very detailed in its manifestation.
